HELLENISTIC: Athena battling Alkyoneos, A Detail of the Pergamon Altar, c. 175 BCE. Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany. “Gigantomachy,” one of the most popular myths in Greece, is a representation of battles between the Olympian gods and Giants in antiquity. According to the myth, the Giants attacked the gods, but the Olympians learned that they could only emerge victorious if a mortal helped them. The gods therefore called Heracles to aid them, and they won the battle.
