Antaeus

"Antaeus (/ænˈtiːəs/, Greek: Ἀνταῖος, Antaîos, lit. "Opponent", derived from ἀντάω, antao – I face, I oppose), known to the Berbers as Anti, was a figure in Berber and Greek mythology. In Greek sources, he was the giant son of Poseidon and Gaia, who lived in the interior desert of Libya. His wife was the goddess Tinge, for whom the city of Tangier in Morocco was named, and he had a daughter named Alceis or Barce. He was famed for his loss to Heracles as part of his twelve Labours." - (en.wikipedia.org 21.12.2019)
