History
The first cyclopes were raised by Uranus and Gaia. Uranus was not pleased with the monsters and imprisoned them until Kronos overthrew him. During Kronos' rule, he did not release the cyclopes, so his mother Gaia and his wife Rhea plotted against him.

These first three were released by Zeus who gave him his Master Bolt, Poseidon his trident an Hades his Helmet. Afterwards cyclopes would be the children of Poseidon and nature spirits/nymphs.

Later in the ages cyclopes were usually worker and weapon makers for the gods. But there has been reports of wild Cyclopes who are often very agreesive to humans and demigods.
