ANTAEUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 88 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTAEUS , in
Greek
 
mythology
 , a
giant
  of
Libya
 , the son of
Poseidon
  and Gaea. He compelled all strangers passing through the
country
  to wrestle with him, and as, when thrown, he derived fresh strength from each successive contact with his
mother
  earth, he proved invincible. With the skulls of those whom he had slain he built a
temple
  to his father. Heracles, in combat with him, discovered the source of his strength, and lifting him up from the earth crushed him to death (
Apollodorus
  ii. 5; Hyginus, Fab. 31). The struggle between Antaeus and Heracles is a favourite subject in
ancient
  sculpture.
