"Ephialtes" is a dramatic woodcut by Gustave Doré depicting the giant Ephialtes, one of the Aloadae brothers, from Greek mythology. The image showcases Doré's distinctive style, combining detailed realism with a sense of the grotesque. The giants are depicted as enormous and powerful, their bodies contorted in chains and their faces filled with anguish. The scene is evocative and unsettling, emphasizing the immense power of Ephialtes and his ultimate downfall. The woodcut is a testament to Doré's skill as an illustrator and his ability to capture the essence of classical mythology.
