Tityos
In Greek mythology, Tityos (also spelled Tityas or Tityus) was a giant chthonic being. He was the son of Elara (daughter of King Orchomenus) and her lover Zeus.Zeus hid Elara from his wife, Hera, by placing her deep beneath the earth. This was where she gave birth to Tityas, who is also sometimes said to be the son of Gaia, the earth goddess, for this reason. Tityos was a phallic being who grew so vast that he split his mother's womb and had to be carried to term by Gaia herself.
