 So perhaps do Callimachus and Philostratus, since they both make Aegaeon the cause of earthquakes, as was often said about the Giants (see below).Homer describes the Giant king Eurymedon as "great-hearted" ("μεγαλήτορος"), and his people as "insolent" ("ὑπερθύμοισι") and "froward" ("ἀτάσθαλος").Hesiod calls the Giants "strong" ("κρατερῶν") and "great" ("μεγάλους") which may or may not be a reference to their size.
