 The Laestrygonians, who "hurled ... rocks huge as a man could lift", certainly possessed great strength, and possibly great size, as their king's wife is described as being as big as a mountain.Over time, descriptions of the Giants make them less human, more monstrous and more "gigantic".According to Apollodorus the Giants had great size and strength, a frightening appearance, with long hair and beards and scaly feet.
