“Orion had a Number of Titles Signifying the Giant by the Hews and Greeks

The Gibborim  Giants of the Bible Were Seen in the Night Sky as the Constellation, Orion




     Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, 1963. 
     “Orion had a number of titles signifying the word '': The Jews called Orion, the Giant. "The Syrians knew Orion as ; the Arabians as, both signifying 'the',, giant, Greek title for Orion with Ptolemy, — and in Latin days occasionally Our words and, and the word - (prefix meaning a billion) come from Latin, Greeks. Orion is referred to as 'earthborn' because the gods Zeus, Hermes and Poseidon urinated into a bull's hide and buried it in the earth. In Greek mythology the gigantes were (according to the poet Hesiod) the children of Uranos and Gaea (the Heaven and the Earth). The prefix gi- of 'giant', is believed to come from Gaia, or Gaea, meaning earth, . Is it any wonder that a large skeleton was unearthed at this site?
