| | BRIAREUS : Greek Hecatoncheir giant of sea-storms ; mythology : BRIAREOS, AIGAION |
 | | BRIAREOS was one of the Hekantonkheries, three ancient storm giants with a hundred hands and fifty heads apiece. |
 | | He was closely identified with Aigaios, a storm-giant ally of the Titanes, who in the Titanomachia epic and Homer's Iliad is described as the father of Briareos. |
 | | Then you, goddess, went and set him free from his shackles, summoning in speed the creature of the hundred hands to tall Olympos, that creature the gods name Briareos, but all men Aigaion (son of Aigaios, the Aegean), but he is far greater in strength than his father. |
