Greek myth/Hercules

APTYP

Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!
I heard a story about Hercules defeating a giant or cyclop who was unbeatable as long as he stood on earth. Does somebody knows his name (Antheius something)?

I am 99% sure that the dude's name was Atlas (Atlus?). Something like that.
 
no atlas was a guy who did something against the gods so he was forced to hold up the sky for eternity. i dont know about hercules but Odyssius (from "The Oddesy" smart people) fought a cyclops on some island in the middle of the mediteranian sea. Odyssius stabbed him in the eye. it was cool.
 
No, that's not what I want :-)

Maybe he wasn't a cyclop, but a giant, I'm not sure. I think earth was his mother.

>the Disney version of Hercules

sounds like a reliable source of information :P
 
I think you might be talking about Uranus.

"The Many sings to us."
 
Uranus, huh? I have a sudden urge to make an extremely bad joke.:P
 
I have searched several sites the last two days and can find no evidence that Uranus ever met Hercules (Heracles).

A possible solution might be found in Roman mythology.

Yeah? And maybe, just maybe, the events in Fallout didn't occur! If that is the case, what are you doing playing it? Nah...they have to have happened, right?

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Oct-03-00 AT 03:02PM (GMT)[p]I realize that what I am going to say will no doubt open a can of worms... but here goes anyway. Though mythhology it's self is based on the imaginations of man, the orginal concept of god's (small g) and their interaction with man probably has it's base in the great flood spoken of in Genesis. Prior to the flood the Bible has the following to say about the sons of God (fallen angels) ...

Gen 6:1-2
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Gen 6:4
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

It is entirely probable that the mythology of "the gods" mixing with humans originated here. And our imaginations have carried it to various high points in history.
