Porphyrion
For the Roman-era writer, see Pomponius Porphyrion.
''"Porphyrion" is also a section of the genus Saxifraga.''
In Greek mythology, Porphyrion was one of the Gigantes ( Giants), who according to Hesiod, were the offspring of Gaia, born from the blood that fell when Uranus (Sky) was castrated by their son Cronus. In some other versions of the myth, the Gigantes were born of Gaia and Tartarus.
