#hyperborean giants

[son-of-midnight]

Laistrygonians are Greek mythological giants who live in the north.  Does this mean that they are the Frost Giants of Norse mythology what about the hyperborean giants in SoN? are they technically frost giants?

[quite-an-enigma]

Hyperborean giants kept appearing in the strangest places. One was lounging in a lake like it was a hot tub. Another was using a pine tree as a toothpick. A third sat in a snow drift, playing with two live moose like they were action figures. The train was full of tourists ohhing and ahhing and snapping pictures, but Percy felt sorry they couldn’t see the Hyperboreans. They were missing the really good shots.
