What if the giants of ancient mythology were never really about size?
For thousands of years, people have told stories about enormous warriors, mysterious beings, powerful Titans, ancient heroes, and battles that seemed to shake the world itself. From the legendary Giants of ancient Greece and the Nephilim of biblical tradition to the Norse jötnar, legendary giant-killers, lost civilizations, mysterious ruins, and supposed giant skeletons, these stories continue to capture our imagination.
But where did these legends come from?
And where does mythology end and history begin?
Giants at War takes you on a fascinating journey through the world's most enduring stories of giants, legendary warriors, mythical battles, and forgotten worlds. You will discover the difference between the Titans and the Giants, explore the dramatic conflicts of Greek mythology, meet legendary heroes such as Heracles, Perseus, Theseus, and David, and travel into the northern world of Thor and the jötnar.
The journey also goes beyond mythology.
You will explore the legends surrounding Atlantis and Hyperborea, discover why ancient monuments have sometimes been attributed to giants, and examine the stories of enormous skeletons and mysterious archaeological discoveries.
Most importantly, this book separates myth from evidence.
Rather than simply repeating sensational claims, Giants at War examines how legends developed, why they survived, and what archaeology, history, and science can actually tell us about them.
Whether you have always been fascinated by ancient mythology or simply find yourself wondering what really happened in the distant past, this book offers an accessible and engaging journey into a world where gods fought giants, heroes faced impossible enemies, and forgotten civilizations became the stuff of legend.
The giants may be mythical-but the human fascination with them is very real.
