Giant

In Greek mythology, a Giant was considered one of a race of human-like monsters of enormous strength and stature. They were often deformed as many of them had numerous heads, uncountable limbs, hundreds of eyes, and the serpentine tails for feet. Gaia, the earth goddess and their mother, had been upset over the death of her other children, the Titans, by the hands of the Olympians. So she persuaded the giants to war against them, confident that they will succeed since an oracle told her that Fate had decreed the giants to win as long as they fought against the gods only. However, Hercules was summoned, and he agreed to fight alongside the Olympians. During the battle, the giants were cowed off by the braying of the asses the Sileni and Satyrs rode upon, as well as the blowing of Triton's horn. The gods brought upon the giants their mighty wrath, and Hercules finished them all off as they were dying by shooting them with his arrows. Conventionally, the term "giant" refers to large, often-malicious humoid creatures of great stature and is associated with ogres.
 
 

Titan

In Greek mythology, one of a family of human-like people of large statures, the first children of Uranus and Gaia that were not deformed. Led by Cronos, they sought to rule all heaven and earth, but the family of Zeus (the Olympians) overthrew them. As their punishment, they were condemned to remain in Tartarus until the end of time.
