The gigantomachia involves three powers or shapes of being which are described with a uniformity across cultures and time which is thought provoking. The three shapes of being are:

1) the giants and titans, the children of earth, matter, materialism, nature, objectivism, the concrete, etc

2) the Olympian gods, the children of sky, ideas, idealism, logic, subjectivism, the abstract, etc

3) the divine child ‘holding to both’, spirit, integrity, synthesis, etc

Perhaps the most important charcteristic of these shapes is that they are all first principle and all, therefore, equally possible. No final victory of any one of them, or even of any two of them, can occur. Their primordial contest is endless (or at least co-terminus with being itself).

At the same time, exactly because they are equally possible, it is always possible to start again with another. But how, having once begun, start again at the beginning? How go back to origin? Or how go forward to the beginning? How go from one fundamental possiblility to another fundamental possibility when <strong>the path between possibilities is not some further possibility!</strong>
