Olympos, Oulympos

Olympus, Ulympus


OLYMPOS (Olympus) was a giant of the island of Krete (Crete) who entrusted with raising the young god Zeus. He later incited the Gigantes (Giants) against the god and was slain in the rebellion which ensued.


Olympos may have been one of the Kouretes (Curetes) who were sometimes described as giants and were the usual wardens of the young Zeus.
