Let's continue our exploration of Greek mythology's deities and heroes with the lesser-known Hecatoncheires.
The Hecatoncheires were primordial deities in Greek mythology, consisting of three: Cottus, Gyges, and Briareos. Their name means "the Hundred-Handed" as they had 50 heads and 100 arms each. Their mother, Gaia, bore them to combat the Titans. Zeus released them from their prison, Tartarus, to aid in the Titanomachy. Their power was formidable, and their involvement contributed to the victory of the Olympian gods over the Titans. After the war, they were confined deep in Tartarus under the guard of Campe.
