Ispolin The ispolin ((ブルガリア語:исполин); pronounced (:ispoˈlin), plural исполини ''ispolini'') is a legendary giant in Bulgarian mythology. While the appearance of the ispolin varied according to the myth and region, ispolini were believed to have inhabited the Earth before humans and to have been considerably taller. ==Etymology== ''Ispolin'' with the meaning of "giant" appears in Rus' Old Church Slavonic texts as early as the 11th century. Russian linguist Max Vasmer believes the word's etymology is tied to ''spali'', a name for the defeated Goths inhabiting what is today southern Russia. The word appears as ''Sраlаеi'' in 1st-century Ancient Roman author Pliny the Elder's ''Natural History.
