Elder Cyclops/Uranian Cyclopes

The Elder Cyclops are three beings from Greek mythology. They’re incredibly strong giant humanoids each with a singular eye in the middle of the forehead. Their names were Arges, Brontes, and Steropes, and they were the sons of Uranus and Gaia, and brothers to the Hecatoncheires. The name Arges means lightning, Brontes means thunder, and Steropes means storm clouds. They were locked in Tartarus by Uranus, only to be freed and then locked away again by Cronus, until eventually Zeus freed them so they could help him defeat Cronus and the other Titans. They helped in the war and created many treasures for the gods. They were eventually killed by Apollo for creating the thunderbolt used to kill his son Asclepius.
