The Giants are a race of supernatural beings, resembling humans, who can be found in numerous mythologies.

History

Mesopotamia

The legendary hero Gilgamesh was said to have slain the giant Humbaba in the Mesopotamian mythology.

Greece

In the Greek mythology the Giants were born from Gaia as the blood of Uranus rained down on her after Kronus castrated Uranus.

At some point, the description of the giants in Greek mythology came to include them having serpents for legs.

According to the story as relayed by Barnabas to the Spartan misthios Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War, the Greek island of Mykonos was built on or out of the corpses of the Giants slain by the legendary hero Herakles.
