In the attack of the Gods against the Giants, everyone took part, even Silenus’ donkey brayed so loudly that it frightened the Giants and sent them fleeing. It is no coincidence that when Hercules came to Italy and Spain, he found many Giants there who had escaped from the battle with the Gods. Hercules also killed Thurio, and the tomb of Makrisides was found in Attica near Athens, it is, according to the Gods, a hundred cubits long. Titan did not go against the Gods and died in Attica and from him Attica took the name Titanis and perhaps he was Macrosiris. Returning from the Isthmus of Corinth, Hercules found the second Alcyoneus who guarded the strait and killed those who passed through it. He threw a large stone at Hercules and crushed 12 chariots and killed 24 people and some oxen and hurled a large stone at Hercules. However, he repelled the stone and threw it at Alcyoneus and covered him. Askos fled to Syria and there he met Dionysus and tied him to the river of Damascus called Badine. But Hermes freed him and killed Ascon, flayed him, so his skin was used to transport water, and from him the city was named “Dermaskos” and later they called it Damascus. Mimas, being hunted, went to the Pythimouse islands and gave birth to the Knight. From the blood of the Giants, people worse than them were born. After this, Zeus caused the Flood of Deucalion to cleanse the human race of monsters. The bones of Opladamos, which were found in Arcadia, were of monstrous size; he came there as an ally of Rhea against Cronus. Finally, the gods buried all the Giants under the seabed of the Aegean and from the scattered islands that they threw them to kill them, starting with Enceladus, who every now and then stirs and shakes the Aegean in his attempt to rise to the surface. 1st Greek Cultural Revolution in the Aegean The Greeks have so far created seven (7) Great Civilizations, namely 1/The Antediluvian Civilization of the Aegean 2/ Minoan 3/ Mycenaean, 4/ Classical 5/ Alexandrian, 6/ Byzantine 7/ European Renaissance. Everything suggests that the world’s first civilization was born in the Aegean region. Man, a hunter and gatherer, became a farmer, a breeder and a technician. At the same time, he also became an immigrant, either with his ships or with his herds to foreign countries, and he spread civilization to the ends of the earth. . This was a consequence of the terrible geological disasters and climatic changes that were created in the region by the sinking of Aegis and the creation of the Aegean Sea and the islands, without ignoring the Diogenes-Atlantean War and the sinking of Atlantis The text needs interpretation to be understood, because many allegorical meanings and information are given 1/ It alleges the natural and geological phenomena that shook the Aegean region from Chalkidiki to Lemnos, the southern Aegean and Attica and Peloponnese 2/ It alleges the primitive people of the era of Cronus and Rhea, the Giants sons of the Titans, who had tremendous physical strength and ferocity but were ultimately defeated by the smarter Gods and their children with led by the general Hercules. 3/ Our ancient ancestors had since then identified the phenomena of earthquakes and geological seismic faults and reported them in the form of myths (Chalkidiki, Lemnos Strait, Nisyros, Alcyonides, Corinth, Sicily, Spain, etc. They had also identified the fault of Attica and allegorized it with the tomb of Macrosiris, having also calculated the size of the fault?) 4/ The events narrated date back to before the Flood of Deucalion and the transition from the primitive era of Kronos and Rhea to the era of the evolved Gods of Olympus. [Deucalion was born in 1573 BC, reigned in 1541 and the flood occurred in 1529 BC. In the precincts of the temple of Olympian Zeus, in Athens, they showed, until the time of Pausanias (110-180), the tomb of Deucalion] 5/ In Italy and Spain, Hercules also encountered the race of Giants that had not yet disappeared as happened in Greece before the Flood. 6/ Even from the names of the Giants, one can draw useful conclusions about many things. 7/ The existence of Dionysus with Thyrsus and Onus shows the era of domestication of animals and their use as helpers of humans. The new race of humans, in addition to Apollo and Hephaestus, that is, letters and technology, also needed the cultivation of the soul under Dionysus. 8/ The cries of the Giants show the animal nature of those people who, however, had tremendous muscular strength. It also alludes to the noise of geological phenomena under the crust of the abyss. 9/ The assembly of the Church shows the existence since then of the institution of democracy which functioned in practice, born of the wisdom of the goddess Athena. 10/ The Titans, ancestors of the Giants, mark the geological era during which the area suffered terrible geological, destructive and alterations and terrible geological phenomena occurred. These especially reveal the memory of the destruction of Aegis (submergence, floods, earthquakes, precipitation, appearance of islands, drying of Thessaly, etc.) 11/ The Greeks since then have recognized the value of cultivating the individual’s soul and values and invented Dionysus. Westerners even today have not invented a Dionysus to cultivate their souls and grant them bliss 12/ The most ferocious giant was named Porphyrion. The color red is associated with blood and evil and continues to this day, the color red has the same meaning (Turks, revolutionaries, communists, etc.). See the truth of the semiology 13/ In prehistoric times, Thrace was considered the entire area of present-day Greece and Thrace up to the Bosphorus and was inhabited by Greek tribes. 14/ The Gigantomachy was the most fascinating theme for sculptors, poets, tragedians and painters. The Parthenon frieze had the Gigantomachy as its theme. [The Parthenon Marbles, also known as the Elgin Marbles by the English, are a collection of sculptures from the Acropolis of Athens. They were removed and stolen by Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1799 to 1803, and were taken to Britain in 1806. From 1801, the plundering of masterpieces from the Acropolis began. According to Visconti, in total Elgin took: 253 sculptures and architectural elements, many vases, sundials, etc. 96 intact or mutilated sculptures were removed from the Parthenon, and in particular: From the southern pediment 15 intact and 4 broken, from the eastern pediment 11 statues and their parts, from the western pediment more than 8, from the northern frieze 21 intact slabs and a part of a slab, from the southern frieze 30 intact slabs and 11 fragments, from the western frieze 2 slabs and from the eastern frieze 4 slabs. Also, 4 pieces were removed from the temple of Apteros Nike, 18 from the Erechtheion (a Caryatid and a corner Ionic capital of the eastern colonnade are the most important of these), 4 from the Theater of Dionysus, including a column from the choregic Thrasyllus monument. 13 heads, 34 sculpted marbles, 14 bronze and marble hydrias, 8 altars, 3 tombstones, 66 inscribed marbles and others were also removed. Many of these were works by Phidias, Agoracritus and Alcamenes. The most important of all are considered to be the sculptures of the birth of Athena from the eastern pediment, the metope of the dispute between Athena and Poseidon and the frieze with the procession of the Panathenaic Games.
