Titans & Giants Myths & Tales

This book features giants from mythologies all around the world.

Greek mythology’s Titans, giants at war with their children, the Olympian gods, have survived in popular imagination. Other cultures have their tales, such as China’s Pangu, who separated Heaven and Earth, forming the world’s mountains and valleys; the Jötnar giants of the Vikings, constantly at war with Odin; and the Fomorians in Ireland, invaders at war with the Thuatha dé Danaan. Japan’s Oni, ogres fought by Momotaro, and Zimbabwe’s Makóma, a giant-slaying and giant-becoming hero, also exist. Even Grendell of Beowulf fame is considered a giant. This is a captivating collection for modern readers in a debossed and gilded format that makes for a pretty gift.
