The Cyclops are from Greek mythology and were originally storm gods Brontes (Thunder), Sterops (Lightening), and Arges (Thunderbolt). They are noted for only having one eye in the centre of their foreheads and been giants many times the height of man. They were great smiths and helped the Greeks. It was said that they fashioned Zeus's lightening bolt. Eventually the Cyclops were seen as a cannibalistic and brutish they were feared and shunned.
