Bagwell_Cyclops

== == --Cyclops were mythical beings both in the Greek and Roman mythology with one eye in the middle of forehead. The word Cyclop (in Greek) comes from the combination of the words "circle and "hole and determines some being with only one eye (a hole) in the middle of the forehead. According to Hesiod, they were strong, stubborn, and "abrupt of emotion."
 * == ORIGIN & IMPORTANCE ==

--The Cyclops were born to Gaea and Uranus.

--After Zeus released his siblings, a major war broke out between the titans and the gods. After many years of endless fighting, Zeus was in desperate search for the one-eyed monster to help him defeat the gods. Zeus wanted the Cyclops because they were impervious to fire, and were great blacksmiths. Zeus later defeated the Gods, but wouldn't have suceeded without the help of the mighty Cyclops!

 * MYTHOLOGICAL STORIES
 * When Cronus came to power he imprisoned the Cyclopes in Tartarus. They were released by Zeus and fought with him against the Titans. As a reward for their release the Cyclopes gave Zeus his weapons of lighting and thunder. They continued as his workers at Mount Olympus. Polyphemus is the most popular cyclops. He fought with Odysseus that came out victorious, and left Polyphemus, blinded. Hermes killed Arges while he guarded Io for Hera. Apollo also killed at least one of the Cyclopes to retribution for Zeus killing his son Aesculapius.

Using trickery, Odysseus managed to get the Cyclops drunk. Odysseus sharpened a stick and blinded the Cyclops. The Cyclops tried to find Odysseus and his men, to eat them. But Odysseus and his men crawled under the sheep. Making bah-bah sounds, they crawled safely out of the cave and got away.
 * After Odysseus and his men had been at sea for a while, their supplies began to shorten. Odysseus and some of his men landed on shore to look for food. They found a cave, full of sheep and things they'd never seen before. They cooked some sheep and stuffed themselves full. Unfortunately, the sheep belonged to a Cyclops. When the Cyclops returned to his cave, he was furious. He locked Odysseus and his men up so they could not get away.
