Description: In this gorgeous new collection explore the enduring appeal of giants and their powerful presence in the mythologies of the world. Giants feature in most myths and legends of humankind. The Titans themselves from Greek mythology were both giants and at war with their own children the gods of Olympus. Atlas Cronos and Prometheus have survived in the popular imagination but the tales of these elder gods are a fascinating read. Other cultures though have their own tales of giants from the Chinese Pangu who separated Heaven from Earth and whose body became the mountains and valley of the world to the J tnar giants of the Vikings constantly at war with Odin and his Asgardians and in Ireland the Fomorians were a powerful race of invaders at war with their predecessors the Thuatha d Danaan. From Japan there are the Oni ogres fought by Momotaro from the Sena people of Zimbabwe there is the tale of giant - slaying and giant - becoming hero Mak ma and even Grendell of Beowulf fame is regarded by some as a giant.
