According to legend, the telamons were giants who fought a war with the gods at the beginning of the world.
These mighty creatures were rebellious beings who did not want to bend to the will and power of Zeus, the father of all gods.
In the end, the gods prevailed over the giants and the king of Olympus cunningly condemned each one to an eternal punishment. He used their strength and prevented them from rebelling.
The most famous giant is Atlas, who Zeus condemned to hold the celestial sphere on his shoulders forever.
