nephilim is a Hebrew construct - not related to Greek mythology. The scene depicts the war of the Olympian gods vs the early more beastly Titans. To me this struggle in mythology represented the Greeks giving up the earlier gods who were half human and half monster like found in earlier civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt and embracing anthropomorphic gods - gods that looked and acted like men.
