The Gigantes

The Gigantes were giants from Greek mythology.

Depiction
The Gigantes were a race of giants who were born when Gaea was impregnated by the blood of Uranus that fell from his castrated genitals. They were depicted as muscular men holding spears and wearing animal skins as cloaks. They were sometimes also armed with rocks or flaming brands. The Gigantes also had serpents in the place of legs.

Abode
Although the Gigantes weren't necessarily gods and did not preside over anything specific, they may have represented tribes from Thrace since the Greeks considered them to be barbaric. According to some myths, The Thracian were born from the blood of the killed Gigantes.

Gigantomachy
Due to Gaea's anger at Zeus for imprisoning her titan sons in Tartarus, she gave birth to the Gigantes specifically to wage war on the Olympian gods.

The gods defeated the giants and remained in power over the world and heavens.
