The city of Tangier was founded by the giant Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gaia, and owes his name to Tingis (or Tinga), wife of the founder. Antaeus found his strength in the earth, Hercules suffocated him by keeping him in the air. The tomb of Antaeus is thought to be a hill near Tangier, the Charf. Since then, the city was called Tingis. Later, Phoenicians and Carthaginians moved there, creating a commercial counter and a flourishing colony. Under the reign of Emperor Justinian, Tangier escaped the Romans and was taken over by the Byzantine Empire. At the end of the seventh century, the Arabs seized it and launched their attack on Spain from there.
