Aristaeus (Gigante)

In Greek mythology, Aristaeus (Greek: Ἀρισταῖος, Aristaios, "most excellent") was one of the Gigantes who was born when the blood of the castrated Uranus fell upon Gaea. According to the Suda, Aristaeus was the only one of the Gigantes to survive the war against the Olympians. He supposedly fled to Sicily and was transformed into a dung beetle by his mother.
