I'm not sure I spelled it right though.





They were sons of Gaia, therefore siblings of the Titans and uncles of Zeus %26amp; crew. They helped defeat the Titans by throwing lots of rocks at them.

Reply:These were the hecatoncheiroi - and don't worry there were only ever three of them.





The form hecatoncheires is also possible.

They helped the Gods defeat the Titans when Zeus rebelled against his father. Their names were Aegaeon, Cottus, and Gyges. Afterwards, they helped Hephaestus in his workshop.
