In ancient British folklore, Gogmagog was the leader of a race of giants which inhabited the island of Albion, which would later come to be known as Great Britain.
Description[]
A colossal humanoid standing three times the height of a man, Gogmagog was possessed of enormous physical strength, capable of uprooting an Oak tree as if it were no more than a twig. According to the legend, he and his people lived in caves in the hilly countryside.
History[]
As the story goes, an expedition of Trojans fleeing their defeat at the Battle of Troy made landfall in Albion where they encountered Gogmagog and twenty other giants. Doing battle with the monsters, the Trojans killed all but one, Gogmagog, whom they took as prisoner.
One of the Trojan leaders, a man by the name of Corineus, decided to wrestle the giant for sport. During the fight, Gogmagog struck Corineus with such force that he broke four of his ribs; this enraged the man so much that he threw Gogmagog over his shoulder and heaved him over the edge of a cliff into the sea.
