The giant who appeared in Greek mythology and was bound in chains as punishment by Zeus is Typhon. Often described as a monstrous creature, Typhon was considered the father of all monsters and represented chaos and destruction. He challenged Zeus for supremacy but was ultimately defeated in a fierce battle, leading to his imprisonment beneath Mount Etna. Typhon’s story illustrates themes of rebellion against divine order and serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of overreach and hubris in mythology.
