When at last the monster was quelled, smitten with blows, it fell down lame, and Zeus hurled him into wide Tartarus. The half-human offspring of these unions were the demigods and heroes like the Greek Orpheus, Minos, Hercules, and Perseus. Such legends found throughout many ancient cultures are dim recollections of the true events recorded in Genesis 6. Perhaps then Hector, Achilles, and the rest were the 'heroes of old,' the spawn of angels and women. Cyril of Alexandria, and Saint Augustine sustain it.
Modern commentators eschew any literal analysis, citing moral and allegorical reasons.
Tradition holds that the leader of the fornicating demons, perhaps numbering as many as two million, was Azazel, elsewhere called Semjaza. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord's lot fell, and offer him for a sin-offering. But the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement with him and to let him go to Azazel in the desert. Some interpret the name to a demon of the wasteland, citing Ps. The name may indeed refer to a commander in Satan's vast horde.
