CYCLOPS
Cyclops are one eyed creatures, who are represented in many ways throughout Greek Mythology.
One Way: Some legend says that they were trapped in Tartarus, the lowest region of the underworld, by their father and again by their brother, Kronos. The Cyclops were the ones who gave Zeus the thunderbolt in exchange for their freedom.
Second Way: In Homer's The Odyssey, the Cyclops are represented as barbarians and lawless. They attack and prey on people passing by.
Although a lot of the time they are mentioned as monsters, some times they are represented as helpful creatures.
