RE: ADSactly Folklore: When Giants Roamed the Earth (Part 2)

in #folklore6 years ago

The theme of the giants has a great attraction, as was said in part 1 of your work, @ladyrebecca. And in Greek mythology it seems to reach one of its most relevant milestones.
On the genealogy of gods and other mythical beings there are differences between scholars. For example, Karl Kerenyi, one of the most followed authorities, does not include the Titans among the Greek gods; he considers them prior to the divine stage, which would begin with the Olympic gods. And he initially associates hybris with them.
The review you make of the Greek giants is very complete. And the triumph of the gods over them would be the confirmation of the imposition of order over chaos.
Thank you for your illustrative post, @ladyrebecca.
