Aeternae

The Aeternae were a race of legendary creatures de-

scribed in the travels of Alexander the Great.[1] As
Alexanders army passed northern Indian plains, they
supposedly encountered the Aeternae, who killed some
of Alexanders men.[2] The Aeternae were described as
killing and wounding enemies with bony, saw-toothed
protuberances sprouting from their heads.[2]

Athos (mythology)
Athos ([s] Greek: , pronounced [ats]) from teries on the mountain, each having to tend to their own
Greek mythology, was one of the Gigantes. He is
most known for the creation of Mt. Athos, a mountain
and peninsula in northern Greece, known as The Holy
Mountain, that is located in northern Greece. There are
two versions regarding the creation of the mountain, and
they both involve Poseidon, Greek God of the sea, son
of Cronus and brother to Zeus and Hades. In one ver-
sion of the story, Athos throws a mountain at Poseidon
but misses. It is said that " Athos got away and the rock
he was about to throw at the god slipped through his n-
gers. Poseidon then threw it back at him, thus creat-
ing Mt. Athos. In the other version Poseidon throws the
mountain at Athos, creating the mountain.
2.1 Gigantes
Gigantes, not to be confused with the Titans who were
even more powerful beings, are the Greek version of Gi-
ants. The Gigantes were often depicted as hoplite sol-
diers, dressed in full armor, or as a type of barbarian with
panther skin clothing wielding aming torches and rocks
as weapons. They were also often depicted with serpents
as legs. One myth says that the Gigantes were created
when Ouranos (Uranus) was castrated by his son, Cronus,
when his blood fell to the earth. Where another myth
says that they were born from Gaia, with Tartaros as their
father. They waged war on the gods during the Gigan-
tomachy. The Gigantes were spurred on and encouraged
by Gaia, the mother of the titans, to wage war against
the gods to avenge Cronuss death. During the Gigan-
tomachy there were many battles between the Gods and
Gigantes, to which the Gigantes eventually lost. None of
the Gigantes survived, except for Aristatios, who survived
because Gaia transformed him into a dung beetle.
2.2 Mount Athos
The mountain that was created with Athoss death, has
become the center of orthodox monasticism in the re-
gion. It is mentioned in many Greek epics, including The
Iliad, by Homer.The mountain consists of many monas-
2
area. The mountain produced a very large amount of
Wine and Grapes which is vital to the commerce of the
region. Women and children are forbidden on the moun-
tain. In 368 B.C. the mountain became part of the state of
Phillipos of Macedonia. Then years later when Alexan-
der the Great united all the Greek states under his rule,
an architect named Dinocrates suggested that they carved
the mountain into a statue in the likeness of Alexander.
Alexander being humble, refused and they left the town
in peace. In the fourth century the mountain became fully
Christian. The beginning of the Athonite Monastic Life,
is signaled by the arrival of two important gures. The
rst being Petros of Athos who arrived in the late 8th cen-
tury, and Euthymios the New who arrived around 860. In
963 Athanasios the Athonite was key in the organization
of the monastic life. In 1050, the monk population was
as high as 7000. Then in 1205 the mountain came un-
der the control of Frankish King of Thessaloniki. Dur-
ing this time the mountain suered greatly because the
Athonite monks refused to accept the Union of Lyons in
1274. In the 14th century more monasteries appeared
on the mountain, but in 1424 the mountain was taken
over by Murat the second, who imposed high taxes and
levies on the mountain which caused many of the monks
to leave and cause the mountain to become all but de-
serted. The mountain only survived because of aid from
Ecumenical Patriarchate, who gave the monks a lot of
support, both spiritually and scally. Some aid was also
given by the Transdanubian Principalities but also from
the Orthodox people. Then in 1822 the worse disaster
in all of the mountains history occurred, during the rev-
olution of Emmanuel Papas Turkish soldiers murdered
anyone, monks, women and children, who sought refuge
on the mountain. The mountain came back under Greek
sovereignty on 5 November 1912. Then in 1963 on the
thousand anniversary of foundation of organized monas-
tic, there was a festival, but it was not very cheery and
many considered it the funeral of the mountain. Finally
in the year 1988 it was made into a national heritage site.

acles many monstrous opponents.[4]

RC 2070, Taranto 7030). This last pot depicts Heracles,
with a headlock perhaps dragging his opponent, which
might be a representation of Heracles dragging Alcyoneus
out of his homeland.[7]
3.1.2 Literature
The earliest mentions of Alcyoneus in literature, are by
the fth century BC poet Pindar. According to Pindar,
Heracles and Telamon were traveling through Phlegra,
where they encountered Alcyoneus, whom Pindar de-
scribes as a herdsman ... huge as a mountain,[8] and
a great and terrible warrior.[9] A battle occurs in which
Alcyoneus laid low, by hurling a rock, twelve chariots
and twice twelve horse-taming heroes who were riding in
them, before nally being destroyed by the two heroes.
The participation of Telamon and other mortals in the
battle, and the lack of mention of any of the gods, or other
Giants, seem to imply that for Pindar, unlike apparently
Apollodorus, the battle between Heracles and Alcyoneus
was a separate event from the Gigantomachy. And in fact
Pindar never actually calls Alcyoneus a Giant, although
the description of him as huge as a mountain, his use
of a rock as a weapon, and the location of the battle at
Phlegra, the usual site of the Gigantomachy, all suggest
that he was.[10]
Scholia to Pindar tell us that Alcyoneus lived on the isth-
mus of Thrace and that he had stolen his cattle from
Helios, causing the Gigantomachy, (Schol. Pindar Isth-
mian 6.47) and that Alcyoneus, one of the Giants, at-
tacked Heracles, not in Thrace but at the Isthmus of [7]
Corinth, while the hero was returning with the cattle of
Geryon, and that this was according to Zeus plan be-
cause the Giants were his enemies (Schol. Pindar Ne- [8]
mean 4.43). The cattle shown on the sixth century pots,
might thus represent either Alcyoneus cattle stolen from [9]
Helios, or Heracles cattle taken from Geryon.[11] [10]
3.2 Other sources
Alcyoneus is usually identied as the winged Giant [12] Cunningham, p. 113; Kleiner, p. 156 FIG. 5-79; for
battling Athena on the Gigantomachy frieze from the doubts concerning the identication of the Giant as Al-
Pergamon Altar.[12] cyoneus, see Ridgway, p. 39, note 59, pp. 5960.
An unascribed lyric fragment (985 PMG) calls the Giant
Phlegraian Alkyoneus of Pallene, the eldest of the Gi-
gantes [Giants]".[13] Claudian has Alcyoneus buried un-
der the volcanic Mount Vesuvius[14] while Philostratus
says that the bones of Alcyoneus were considered a mar-
vel by the people living near Vesuvius, where it was
said that many Giants were buried.[15] The Suda says that
Hegesander told of a myth in which Alcyoneus had seven
daughters, the Alkyonides, who threw themselves into the
sea when Alcyoneus died and were turned into birds, the
Halcyons (kingshers).[16]
5
The late fourth century or early fth century AD Greek
poet Nonnus, in his poem Dionysiaca, mentions Alcy-
oneus as one of the several Giants that Dionysus battles
in the Gigantomachy.[17] Nonnus has Gaia set the Gi-
ants against Dionysus, promising Alcyoneus Artemis as
his wife should the Giants subdue Dionysus.[18] Nonnus
makes Alcyoneus nine cubits high,[19] and has him ght
with mountains as weapons.[20]

Almops

Almops (Ancient Greek: ) was in Greek mythol-

ogy a giant, and son of the god Poseidon and the half-
nymph Helle.[1] He was the brother of Paeon (called
"Edonus" in some accounts).[2] With the others of his
kind, the Gigantes, he waged war on Zeus and the gods
of Olympus.
It is from Almops that the now-obsolete name for the
region of Almopia and its inhabitants, the Almopes, in
Macedonia, Greece, were believed to have derived their
name.[3]

Artemis changed herself into a doe and jumped between

their spears and simultaneously killed each other.[9][10]
The Aloadae were bringers of civilization, founding cities
and teaching culture to humanity. They were venerated
specically in Naxos and Boeotian Ascra,[11] two cities
they founded. Ephialtes (lit. he who jumps upon) is
