Doliones.

The Gegenees (Γηγενεής ) (Gēgeneēs) were giants with six arms in Greek mythology. The Doliones (Δολίονες) were the Gegenees. Cyzicus (Κύζικος) (Kúzikos) was their king.

Jason (Ἰάσων) (Iásōn) and the Argonauts (Ἀργοναῦται) (Argonaûtai) met with Cyzicus and the Doliones. It was during the quest for the Golden Fleece (Χρυσόμαλλον δέρας) (Khrysómallon déras).

There was a battle between them and Heracles (Ἡρακλῆς) (Hercules) saved the Argonauts.

Giants.

The Giants or Gigantes (Γίγαντες) (Γίγας) were deities in Ancient Greece. Uranus was their father; Gaia was their mother.

Giants had relations with other characters, Hecatoncheires (Ἑκατόγχειρες,) and Titans.

The Gigantes participated in the Gagantomachy, the battle with the Olympian gods. Hercules and the Cyclops were in this battle, too.

There were many Giants.
