The Hundred Giants
After the defeat of the Titans, Gaea gave birth to a powerful set of giants with Tartarus to avenge their loss against the Olympians. The Fates decreed that they could only be destroyed by the joined efforts of gods and heroes. With the aid of Heracles, the gods emerged victorious against their virtually unstoppable enemies.
