 The references to the Gigantomachy in archaic sources are sparse.Neither Homer nor Hesiod mention anything about the Giants battling the gods.Homer's remark that Eurymedon "brought destruction on his froward people" might possibly be a reference to the Gigantomachy and Hesiod's remark that Heracles performed a "great work among the immortals" is probably a reference to Heracles' crucial role in the gods' victory over the Giants.
