You, goddess, went > and saved him from that indignity. You quickly summoned to high Olympus the > monster of the hundred arms whom the gods call Briareus, but mankind > Aegaeon,The "goatish one" a giant more powerful even than his father. He > squatted by the Son of Cronos with such a show of force that the blessed > gods slunk off in terror, leaving Zeus free :— E.V.

M. Willcock,M. M. Willcock, (1977), "Ad Hoc Invention in the Iliad", Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, 81 pp. 41-53.
