In Greek mythology, Hippolytus is one of the Gigantes who assault Olympus in the Gigantomachy. Apollodorus says Hermes, wearing Hades' helmet of invisibility, slew him. Distinct from Hippolytus son of Theseus (the best-known bearer of the name) and from lesser Hippolyti in the genealogies.

I.Gigantomachy
Apollodorus (Bibliotheca 1.6.2) lists Hippolytus among the earthborn Giants destroyed when the Olympians fought with Heracles' aid. Hermes, wearing the cap of Hades that makes the wearer invisible, kills him in the melee.
Like other named Giants he embodies the cosmic assault on heaven rather than a city cult-hero; the collective Gigantes frame supplies most of his identity.
II.Homonym care
The famous Hippolytus of Troezen — Theseus' son, Phaedra's stepson, destroyed by Poseidon's bull — is the atlas node hippolytus and already has his own Information page.
Other Hippolyti include an Aegyptid prince and minor local kings. The atlas id hippolytus-giant isolates the Gigantomachy figure alone.
