so 'Giants' in the same way Hitler or Stalin have been called "monsters' [or Ogre?]
but to look at them or describe them physically , they would not appear like mythological childrens book monsters,
hence more likely the bIblical giants were also not true enormous physical stature beings[ as in highly exaggerated childrens book giants]

but I have no doubt some child brain christians would buy into the idea of Greek mythology type giants. or 'Gigantes'
being in the Bible....( .as I stated already , the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew 'Nephiim', uses the word 'gigantes')

Greek mythology; THE GIGANTES were a tribe of a hundred giants born of the earth-goddess Gaia.
she was impregnated by the blood of the castrated sky-god Ouranos (Uranus).

At the urging of Gaia the Gigantes waged war on the gods and were destroyed in the ensuing battle.
The most famous of the combatants were Enkelados (Enceladus) who was buried by Athena beneath Mount Etna,
Polybotes who was crushed by an island cast by Poseidon, and Porphyrion who was slain by Zeus and Herakles
when he attempted to violate the goddess Hera.

The Giants were depicted as either spear-wielding hoplite warriors in armor or primitives clothed in animal-skins
and armed with rocks and flaming brands. In sculpture and mosaic art they were usually depicted with the tails of
serpents in place of legs.

The Gigantes might have represented the primitive tribes of Thrake (Thrace), north of Greece, whose barbarian culture
unfavorably contrasted with Greek civilisation. According to some, the Thrakians were born from the blood or ashes of
the vanquished giants.
