Antaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀ) ντα ῖ ος）， It is a giant in Greek mythology. According to the myth, Antaeus was the son of Gaia, the earth goddess, and Poseidon, the sea god, who lived in Libya.
Antaeus has great power, and as long as he keeps in contact with the earth, he is invincible. Heracles discovered Antaeus's secret, lifted Antaeus into the air so that he could not gain power from Gaia, and finally strangled him.

Character Introduction
His wife's name is Tinggis. Antaeus has infinite power, and as long as he keeps in touch with the earth, he is invincible (because he can continue to gain infinite power from his mother). He forced all those who passed through his land to wrestle with him and kill them; The aim was to collect the skulls of the dead to build a temple for his father Poseidon.
When Heracles, the greatest hero in Greek mythology, passed through Libya, he discovered the secret of Antaeus: Antaeus' infinite power came from contact with the earth. In the battle between the two men, Heracles lifted Antaeus into the air so that he could not gain strength from Gaia, and finally strangled him (Apollodorus, II. 5). People often use the story of Antaeus to describe that spiritual power cannot be separated from the material foundation, or a person cannot be separated from his motherland and people.
In ancient sculpture art, the battle between Antaeus and Heracles is a common theme. Dante quoted the image of Antaeus in Divine Comedy, saying that he was the guard guarding the ninth layer of Hell. Heine also quoted the myth of Antaeus in his poems.
Because of the close connection between the myth of Antaeus and the myth of Berber Libya, Herodotus once speculated that Poseidon might initially be a god of Berbers, and later was absorbed into their myth system by the Greeks.
