What gaints? Do you mean the one eyed cyclops? No he doesnt kill IT. Its only one. He and his men drive a stake like thing thru his eye and blind him. Thats how the men escape. Just watch the movie. It'll help a little.

There are no giants, however, there is a Cyclops which is sometimes mistaken as a giant.
Cyclops- or Kyklops in the prose format, is a huge creature. He is the brother of Poseidon, and captures Odysseus and his crew mates on his island. He takes them into his cave to eat them, but the group manages to blind him and they sneak out by clinging to the bellies of sheeps.
Kyklops is not a giant persay- he is large, but not a giant as in the magical sense.
Hope this helps.
