In Greek mythology: Ephialtes (Greek: Ἐφιάλτης ) was a giant son of Aloeus ( son of Poseidon and Canace ) and Eeriboea. Otus was his giant brother.
It was also the name of the demon of nightmare.
Correct spelling of the name is Ἐφιάλτης ( Ephialtes ) although Herodotus spelled it as Ἐπιάλτης ( Epialtes )
Ephialtes > eh-fee-AL-tees ( stress on caps )

If you actually look up the cross reference to the scripture at John 18: 6 you will notice it points to John 7:46 where it states "The officers replied: “Never has [another] man spoken like this.” They knew he was the "Christ" which is Greek for Messiah. It says nothing about Him being God. Along similar lines, we could read Philippians 2:9, where the apostle Paul describes what God did after Jesus died and was resurrected. The verse says: "God exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name." If Jesus was God or equal to God before he died and God later exalted him to a higher position, would that not put Jesus above God? Yet how could anyone become superior to God? And if he was God before he died, how can God die? There is no "mystery" here. Jesus is the Son of God. Also, God always referred to Jesus as his son, and Jesus always referred to God as his father, showing that God was older and had more authority. He also said that he came to do God's will and not his own, showing two wills; his father and his. Two separate wills. If you want to go on believing that God has three heads, then you must have three too, since you were created in his image!
