It's interesting that in the bible the Anak were the descendents of the Nephilim (the offspring of "the son's of god and daughters of man"). This hybrid of angel and man had resulted in giants, which apparently outlived (as a species) the deluge (within the biblical story I will add) as the Nephilim are created in Genesis and the Anak are referred to in Numbers (Mose's spies told him to stay away from them when scouting the lands).
There's an apocryphal text the Book of Enoch that apparently covers that in detail (I have not yet read it), from which we could perhaps extract some symbolic meaning or something for this question. Also the Book Of Giants also is about Nephilim and some of them that have visions concerning this coming flood, it's interesting that this text refers to Gilgamesh (offspring of human-deity relations) and Humbaba from Sumerian Legend.
