in the texts
Birds
The mythic plain where, according to tradition, the Olympian gods defeated the Giants (sons of the Earth); Pisthetaerus jokingly relocates the city's supposed wealth there.
No, it's rather the plain of Phlegra, where the gods withered the pride of the sons of the Earth with their shafts.
Heracles
The mythical battlefield where the gods, aided by Heracles, fought and defeated the giants.
My son, my own enduring son, that marched with gods to Phlegra’s plain, there to battle with giants and slay them, warrior that he was.
