		Giants are humanoid creatures of prodigious size and strength, a type of legendary monster that appear in the tales of many different races and cultures.
		In the mature form of this mythology recorded in the Edda poetry and prose, giants inter-marry with the gods and are the origin of most of the monsters in Nordic mythology (e.g., the Fenris Wolf), so relations between the Aesir and the giants are sometimes cordial and sometimes adversarial.
		Saxo Grammaticus, for example, argues that giants had to exist, because nothing else would explain the large walls, stone monuments, and statues that we know were the remains of Roman construction.

		However, the giants were recreated again after the Flood in the form of the "Rephaim" (lit., "those who were reborn") in a second attempt to destroy homo sapiens and take over the world, an attempt that was delayed by the Elamites, and finally destroyed by the Israelite invasion of Canaan.

	Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum - Life on gas giants
		The biggest problem I have with gasbag-type life forms in a gas giant atmosphere is this -- the atmospheres in question are mostly hydrogen.
		There are traces of methane, ammonia, perhaps water, organic compounds to give a bit of colour and variation on every gas giant; but they are mostly hydrogen, with a bit of helium.
		To make the fictional cloud cities of OA work I have had to suppose pure hot hydrogen balloons floating in an atmosphere of H and He, anchored in place by long adjustable tethers, (sky anchors) which gather electrical power from atmospheric electrical potential.

		It was in Richard Sympson’s name that Jonathan Swift arranged for the publication of his narrative, thus somewhat mixing the fictional and actual worlds.

	Prehistoric Fiction
		It was therefore virtually impossible for "prehistoric fiction" to arise until the ground was fertile enough to support it, at the end of the 19th century.
		This displays a fairly dramatic "landscape." Juvenile prehistoric fiction might be said to have started in the 60s, with a fairly steady publication rate since then, and "adult" prehistoric fiction seems to have started in the 80s, and been growing at a much faster rate.
