WIKIPEDIA:
A cyclops /ˈsaɪklɒps/;
Greek:
Κύκλωψ, Kuklōps;
plural cyclopes /saɪˈkloʊpiːz/;
Greek:
Κύκλωπες, Kuklōpes),
in Greek
mythology and later Roman
mythology, was a member of a primordial race of giants,
each with a single eye in the middle of his forehead.[1]
The name is widely thought to mean "circle-eyed"
Hesiod
described one group of cyclopes and the epic poet Homer
described another, though other accounts have also been written by
the playwright Euripides,
poet Theocritus
and Roman epic poet Virgil.
