In Greek mythology, Alpos (Ancient Greek: Ἄλπον) was Sicilian giant son of Gaea (Earth).
== Description == Like the Hundred-Handed Ones, Alpos had many arms, and his head was covered with vipers, like Medusa: {| | Alpos with a hundred vipers on his head for hair, who touched the Sun, and pulled back the Moon, and tormented the company of stars with his tresses. |- | Alpos bent his knee, that son of Earth with huge body rising near the clouds. |}
