Damis


One of the children of the earth (Gea) and Uranus. He was born, like his brothers, the blood that came from the wound that Cronus provoked Uranus in order to avenge the Titans, locked up by Zeus in Tartarus. The Giants were huge, bearded and serpent-legged beings, and Dámiso is the fastest in the race. Although of divine origin they are mortal, but it was necessary the union of a god and a mortal to give death to a giant and Dámiso fell under the rays of Zeus and the arrows of Heracles. There was also a magic herb produced by the earth whose intake made them invulnerable to the wounds received by mortals. To prevent the giants from having the necessary light to find her, Zeus forbade the dawn, the moon and the sun to shine, and in the darkness gathered the plant. The body of Dámiso was buried in Palene where Chiron lived brother of Zeus and the most famous of the centaurs. This one received by order of Peleus the education of its son Achilles after his mother, the goddess Thetis tried to remove the human qualities subjecting to his son to the action of the fire, hurting him the bone of one of his legs. Chiron uncovered the giant Dámiso, and replaced the bone of Achilles by the one of the giant, making Achilles an extraordinary runner.
