Δαμυσος | Damysos | Damysus | Subduer, Conqueror |
DAMYSOS (Damysus) was the swiftest of the Gigantes (Giants) who waged war on the gods. The speed of his feet was extracted by the kentauros Kheiron (Chiron) who implanted it in the heels of Akhilleus (Achilles).
His name was probably derived from the Greek verb damazô or damasô meaning "to subdue" or "conquer." Cf. Damasen.
