The Cyclopes
Huge beings each with only one eye in the middle of their foreheads. They were great builders and smiths.
Uranus hated these creatures and imprisoned them in the center of the earth.

Gaea, wishing to free her children and vent her wrath upon Uranus for his treatment of her offspring, enlisted the aid of Cronus, her Titan son. With a weapon similar to a sickle, Cronus wounded his father. From the blood and wounded parts sprang up a strange collection of beings:

Cronus, the new Lord of the Universe, took his sister Rhea for his bride.

He vomited up his children, who were now fully grown . . .
