其中一个巨人种族是吉格尼斯人,他们是一个凶猛、未开化的巨人部落,阿戈诺特人曾与他们相遇;《阿戈诺特人》中详细记载了这次相遇。 Argonautica 阿波罗尼乌斯-罗迪乌斯著。

盖娅的孩子们

吉吉尼斯家族被命名为 盖娅 吉格涅斯人体型巨大,但他们的显著特征是有六只手臂,其中两只从肩膀伸出,另外两对从肋骨伸出。

Gegenees 也被描述为无法无天、惹是生非,但这些几乎是希腊神话中出现的所有巨人的特征。

吉吉尼斯之家

吉格尼斯人的故乡位于马尔马拉海的一个突出部,在埃塞普斯河口的东面。 这个突出部包括一个低地平原和一座高山,实际上是一个岛屿,因为只有一个狭窄、低洼的地峡将其与迈西亚大陆相连。

格吉尼人与多利昂人(Doliones)部落共同生活在岛上,多利昂人生活在低地平原,格吉尼人生活在山坡上。 不过,两个部落之间的麻烦还是避免了,因为格吉尼人虽然生性麻烦,但他们害怕波塞冬的愤怒,因为多利昂人是波塞冬的后裔。

吉格尼斯人和阿戈努人

在阿尔戈人前往科尔基斯的航行中,搭乘阿尔戈号的英雄船队阿尔戈人遇到了吉格尼斯人。

阿戈诺特人在陆地上找到了安全的锚地,并受到了多利昂人的国王--西齐库斯国王的友好欢迎。 半数的阿戈诺特人被这种友好的欢迎所迷惑,开始探索山坡,而其余的阿戈诺特人则带着他们的 "箭"--"箭"--"箭"--"箭"--"箭"--"箭"。 阿尔戈 进入西图斯港。

阿耳戈人的力量被一分为二,吉格尼斯人看到了进攻的机会。 巨人们扔下巨石堵住了港口入口,他们认为自己的猎物--阿耳戈人--现在已经无路可逃了。 不过吉格尼斯人并不知道他们攻击的是什么类型的人,因为与阿耳戈人在一起的还有希腊最伟大的英雄赫拉克勒斯。

赫拉克勒斯拿起他著名的弓箭,对着吉格尼斯人射出了一箭又一箭,许多巨人都因为九头蛇的毒箭射中目标而丧命。

盖革涅斯人发动了反击,他们使用了自己的远程武器,向赫拉克勒斯和其他人投掷了大量嶙峋的石块。 Argonauts 尽管英雄们都没有受重伤。

格吉尼人的进攻被成功地延缓了,而这一延缓足以确保上山探险的阿戈努人能够回到他们同伴的身边。 现在,格吉尼人面对的是阿戈努人的联合部队。 不过,格吉尼人并不怯懦,他们一次又一次地冲上前去进攻;这简直是一场屠杀,因为一个接一个地在阿古诺特人的武器下,吉格尼斯人倒下了,直到再也没有巨人。
