What did the volcano have to with Greek mythology?

That depends on the volcano. When Zeus toppled Cronos from power he placed many of "the hundred handed ones" on various mountains and volcanos, for when Cronos' minions and brothers - the titans - went to climb said mountains the hundred handed ones threw rocks down to them, thousands upon thousands of rocks and boulders, which scared and scattered the titans making them easier to capture. Or of course when the Greek goddess Gaia, goddess of earth, gets mad and angry the earth reflects her temper with earthquakes and volcano's. Hope thats of some help...?


Who was the Greek god of the ground?

There really wasn't any main god of the land in Greek mythology, many of the gods and goddesses dealt in plants and animals, but the earth itself was Gaia; so was considered all of theirs, neutral territory, if you will.


Who is cyclops brother?

Alex Summers, aka Havok. He's somewhat looser than Cyclops is, and can fire powerful plasma blasts, generally from his hands (funny detail: him and Cyclops are both immune to each other's powers). Cyclops also had another younger brother named Vulcan (Gabriel Summers), who I don't know much about, other than this: uber-powerful villain guy.


What is the creature with one hundred heads in mythology?

The Hecatonchires were born of Gaia and Uranus. They were stronger, more overbearing, and more fierce than even the mighty Cyclopes. They had 100 arms and 50 heads each. This is a close as I have got. The hydra is known to have as many heads as it grows. Although they are often depicted in pottery as having three heads, that is only because no potter turning out numerous pots in a day wishes to paint a hundred heads when three would get the point across. The hecatonchires are more known for their hundred hands, as that is what their name means: hecaton - hundred chires - hands (think, "chiropractor" - one who heals with hands)
