What is hundred handed one?

In Greek mythology, the Hundred-Handed Ones, also known as the Hecatoncheires, were a trio of giants each with a hundred hands and fifty heads. Their names were Cottus, Gyges, and Briareus.

The Hundred-Handed Ones were the children of Uranus and Gaia, and they played a significant role in the Titanomachy, the war between the Titans and the Olympian gods. They were allies of the gods, particularly Zeus, and helped defeat the Titans by throwing huge rocks and causing earthquakes.

After the Titanomachy, the Hundred-Handed Ones were imprisoned in Tartarus, the darkest and deepest part of the Underworld, by their father Uranus for being too powerful. However, Zeus later released them as a reward for their loyalty and bravery in battle.

Despite their fearsome appearance, the Hundred-Handed Ones were generally depicted as gentle and kind-hearted beings who assisted the gods in times of need. They were associated with storms, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, and were believed to be guardians of the gates of Olympus.
