A Chronicle of the Giants Gog & MagogThe tales of Gog & Magog, those two much maligned brothers giant who lived long ago and far away. Some said they were thrown off Noah’s ark for drunkenness; some held that they were the sons of fallen angels; some swore that they were djinn sent by the Saracens to make mischief; others that they were Irish. The brothers themselves said nothing. Perhaps they guarded a great secret. Perhaps they nursed a private shame. Or maybe they had simply forgotten; they were, after all, very, very old.
