the hekatonkheires or 100 hands the name given to three giants with 100 hands and 50 heads each. Aegaeon, Cottus, and Gyges .they were the offspring of the goddess Gaia who was the earth and the sky god Uranus.
to prevent their births Uranus forced them back into the earth together with their brothers the cyclops and the other Titans.
they were released by the Titan kronos when he overthrew Uranus.
But Kronos reimprisoned them in the underworld.
Freed by Zeus they assisted him in the defeat of the Titans.
who some say they later guarded in the underworld.
