I am a complete newcomer to greek mythology, so i dont actually know if the question will make sense, but something came up in conversation of watching the, not very good film, clash of the titans. What i am wondering is, is it possible to kill a colossus?
Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thank you

It's okay to ask questions, but I don't know the answer. StudyGeek now.

Kill a colossus? A colossus is rather ambigious... anything really huge is a colossus. Do you mean a Titan? In that case, you CAN, but it's supposed to be almost impossible. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon had to work all three together to defeat the Titan Kronos, their father. However, the Kraken isn't a Titan, nor does it have it's roots in Greek Mythology.

Thanks you Kurvos.
Yeah i thought colossus was a rather generic term. She might have meant Titan. A friend of mine said it to me after she saw either Clash of, or Wrath of the Titans. So she might have been thinking of a Titan, rather than a colossus. Thanks for the insight.

Lets put it this way. You can kill pretty much anything, except MAYBE a God. But being theoretically able to, and having the capacity to actually do so, are two totally different things.

So, it is theory vs reality. As you know, there are a lot of theories out there. But until we have attained the technology, we are kind of stuck. We could theoretically colonise Mars, but with current technology we can't. So it is with the Greeks. It may be possible to kill something, but so unlikely as to basically be impossible, unless you get four or five Heroes at once to do it.

And you would have to define the word "colossus". Last I checked, it simply meant "that is which most huge". I hope that helps.
