===== FACTOIDS =====
factoid: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact
Hecatoncheires means "hundred handed". They were gigantic and had
fifty heads and one hundred arms each of great strength. There were
three of them: Briareus also called Aegaeon, Cottus, and Gyges also
called Gyes. They were born to Gaea and Uranus. Their mutual hatred of
Uranus caused him to force the Hecatoncheires back into Gaea's womb.
This precipitated Gaea's rebellion against Uranus. When Cronus came to
power he imprisoned the Cyclopes in Tartarus. The were released by
Zeus and fought with him against the Titans. They were able to hurl
huge boulders as many as a hundred at a time against their opponents.
One of them, Briareus, served as Zeus's bodyguard.
