(Greek Melatoncheires), in pagan mythology, were the hundred-armed; giants, Briareus, Gyges, and Cottus, the sons of Uranus and Gaea. Because of their giant-like form and strength, they were dreaded by their, father and placed by him in Tartarus. But Jupiter liberated them to fight the Titans, whom they besieged and placed in Tartarus in their own stead, and ever since guard there.
