Transformation of giant creatures in the Caucasian mythology

Caucasian mythology is very peculiar and diversified. It can be said that the myths which have passed through the millennia have much in common. It should be noted that giant creatures, convinced of their power and having such advantage, were not always well disposed to other inhabitants. Moreover, they use this advantage not only to praise their names, but also to satisfy various temptations, such as the appropriation of the property of others, the destruction of others, and so on. The present article deals with the representation of these mythological titans, which are represented in various ways. It is noteworthy that giants play a significant role in Caucasian mythology, consisting of the world of devis, giants and goliaths. The main objective of the paper is to show that giant creatures in the mythology of the Caucasian people always contradict the representatives of the ordinary world, mainly to emphasize their advantage, and appropriate the property of others by the use of force leading to many fights and much bloodshed.
