Damasen


In Greek mythology, Damasen was a Lydian giant son of Gaia and was nursed by Eris.

Mythology

In Dionysiaca by the epic poet Nonnus recounted the birth of Damasen in the following lines:
When the hero Tylon or Tylus, was fatally bitten in the heel by a poisonous serpent, his sister Moria appealed to the Damasen.
The giant granted the girl's wish and avenged Tylos by killing the monster.
Another serpent, a female one, then fetched ‘the flower of Zeus’ from the woods, and laid it on the lips of its dead mate, which came to life again.
Moria followed this example and similarly restored to life Tylus with the help of a life-giving herb.
