Geryon Mythology versus religion
The wordAbrasaxwhich is far more common in the sources than the variant form Abraxas, was a word of mystic meaning in the system of the Gnostic Basilides

ルイビトン, which were used as amulets or charms. There are similarities and differences between such figures in reports about Basilides' teaching, ancient Gnostic texts, the larger GrecoRoman magical traditions, and modern magical and esoteric writings

The Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung wrote a short Gnostic treatise in 1916 called The Seven Sermons to the Dead, which called Abraxas a God higher than the Christian God and Devil, that combines all opposites into one Being. According to E. A. AllGod, he appears on the amulets with the head of a (Phbus) or of a lion (Ra or Mithras), the body of a man, and his legs are serpents which terminate in scorpions, types of the Agathodaimon. "There is a God about whom you know nothing, because men have forgotten him. We call him by his name: Abraxas

Chnoubis is an Egyptian Gnostic solar icon, found most often on gnostic gems, and amulets for protection against poison and disease. It is a composite figure with the head of a lion and the body of a serpent, usually with seven rays emanating from the head, sometimes, with the twelve zodiacal signs. Chnoubis is an aspect of the Gnostic Demiurge, Yaldabaoth

As it is often wondered if the craftsmanship of the most famous depiction of such a serpent with a horned god, from the Gundestrup Cauldron, originates from Thracian metalworkers being advised by Gaulish patrons, and both the cult of Orpheus and many Dionysian activities were said to have been Thracian in origin, perhaps this connection is a deep one. (And, as Bithynia considered itself Thracian in origin, perhaps this influence was even there in Antinous' youth. There is also some suggestion that Herodes Attikos and Polydeukion's cults had an Orphic dimension to it, so this may go even deeper within the interests of the Ekklesa Antnoou.) The serpent Ophion(eus) is also said to have had wings, not unlike some other important feathered serpent deities like the MesoAmerican Quetzlcouatl. I personally also imagine him to have many heads, like the Indian cosmic serpent Shesha. IO PAN, IOPANPAN IO ISCHUROS, IO ATHANATOS IO ABROTOS IO IAO. KAIRE PHALLE KAIRE PAMPHAGE KAIRE PANGENETOR. Some have said that the GIANTS were born in Phlegrae or Pallene
ergo baby carrier, which is the westernmost of the three peninsulas jutting into the Aegean Sea from Chalcidice. The GIANTS were born from the flowing blood which fell upon the earth after the Castration of Uranus, performed by Cronos. But it has also been told that Gaia, vexed because the OLYMPIANS had defeated the TITANS, gave birth to a race of GIANTS so that they should attack heaven, and obtain revenge. These GIANTS did attack heaven (see Gigantomachy), and as an oracle had declared that none of the them could perish at the hands of the gods unless a mortal could help them, these summoned Heracles 1 to their aid
ティファニー, and the GIANTS were destroyed. "Giant" is the English word (coined 1297) commonly used for such beings, derived from one of the most famed examples: the gigantes (Greek ""[1]) of Greek mythology. In various IndoEuropean mythologies, gigantic peoples are featured as primeval creatures associated with chaos and the wild nature, and they are frequently in conflict with the gods, be they Olympian,Nartian, Hindu or Norse. There are also accounts of giants in the Old Testament, most famously Goliath. Attributed to them are extraordinary strength and physical proportions. Roman mythology Several JupiterGiantColumns have been found in Germania Superior. These were crowned with a statue of Jupiter, typically on horseback, defeating or trampling down a Giant, often depicted as a snake. They are restricted to the area of southwestern Germany

A more literalminded later generation of Greeks associated the region with Tartessos in southern Iberia.[2] Geryon was often described as a monster with human faces. According toHesiod Geryon had one body and three heads, whereas the tradition followed by Aeschylus gave him three bodies.Related:
