Antaeus, in Greek mythology, a mighty giant of Libya, son of the sea god Poseidon and Gaea (Mother Earth). Antaeus wrestled with the Greek hero Hercules over possession of Antaeus's wife Deianira. Perceiving that Antaeus's strength was renewed by contact with his mother Earth, Hercules lifted Antaeus into the air and crushed him to death.

Hercules killed Antaeus and crushed his bones after he lifted him from the earth.
