    Description

    This fragmented figurative work originates from the Pergamon Altar, a monumental construction built in the first half of the 2nd Century BC in the ancient Greek city of Pergamon.

    The altar was built in memory of King Eumene II's victory over the Gauls and surrounding tribes. The reliefs that decorate the walls of the altar depict a ruthless battle between Gods and Giants.

    Here we see the body of a giant, presumably Klytios, who was greated by Gaea to defeat Hecate's magic. However, in the first Gigantomachy Hercules, Dionysus and Hecate worked together to defeat him, with Hecate lighting his hair on fire to serve as the finishing blow.
