Zeus killed Campe and released these imprisoned giants to aid in his conflict with the Titans. The gods of Olympus eventually triumphed.

In Greek mythology, the Titans (Ancient Greek: Τιτᾶνες, Tītânes, singular: Τιτάν, Titán) were the pre-Olympian gods.

There was a bull, a marvelous monster, born of Mother Earth, the hind part of which was of serpent-form: warned by the three Fates, grim Styx had imprisoned him in dark woods, surrounded by triple walls. There was a prophecy that whoever burnt the entrails of the bull, in the flames, would defeat the eternal gods.
