Dans la mythologie grecque, Alcyonée est un Géant, fils d'Ouranos (le Ciel) et de Gaïa (la Terre). Il fut un des meneurs lors de la Gigantomachie : il écrasa en un seul coup vingt compagnons d'Héraclès en lançant un énorme rocher. Comme il était invincible tant qu'il restait sur sa terre natale, le demi-dieu le saisit et le traîna en dehors, puis il lui perça le cœur d'une flèche empoisonnée.
Les douze filles d'Alcyonée, les Alcyonides désespérées de la mort de leur père, se jetèrent dans la mer où elles se métamorphosèrent en alcyon.
In Greek mythology, Alcyoneus was a traditional opponent of the hero Heracles. He was usually considered to be one of the Gigantes (Giants), the offspring of Gaia born from the blood of the castrated Uranus.
According to the mythographer Apollodorus, Alcyoneus' confrontation with Heracles was part of the Gigantomachy, the cosmic battle of the Giants with the Olympian gods. In Apollodorus' account Alcyoneus and Porphyrion were the greatest of the Giants, and Alcyoneus was immortal as long as he was in his native land. When Heracles shot Alcyoneus with an arrow, Alcyoneus fell to the ground but then began to revive, so on the advice of Athena, Heracles dragged Alcyoneus out of his homeland where Alcyoneus then died.

Etienne Frouin is a contemporary French artist. Frouin, who has been passionate about art for more than 30 years, is constantly nourished by artistic creations. He embarked on an adventure in 2014, after a few years of painting and drawing lessons, in order to debut his first metal works in 2015. His sculptures' main theme is a man, which is a universal and everlasting theme, and the medium is a wood panel for charcoal drawing. For the volume, circular iron bar of Ø 6, 8, and 10 minutes and sheet metal were bent, cut, arc welded, ground, and painted, even oxidized, to create "hollow" works.
