Description
Despite decades of research, it has not been possible to assign all fragments of the Great Pergamon Frieze their original place. This includes the head of this giant. Regardless of the even facial features, it must be an opponent of the gods. This can be recognized by the wild hair and baroque hair and the hair between the eyebrows. With such details, Greek artists characterized the giants as a measured and unrestrained sex. Like many rebellious hybrids, so does this giant look up, certainly a fighting deity. In anticipation of an attack, his mouth is open to scream.
