In Greek mythology, the Cyclopes Brontes, Steropes, and Arges were three giants, each with a single eye. They were the children of Gaia and Ouranus (Uranus), along with the Titans and the Hecatonchires ("Hundred Hands"). However, Uranus considered the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires hideous and hid them in Gaia's body, causing their mother much pain. Gaia in her anguish then convinced one of the Titans, Cronos, to overthrow Uranus. Although Cronus did so successfully, he refused to free his Hecatonchires and Cyclopes brothers.

abstract	In Greek mythology, the Cyclopes Brontes, Steropes, and Arges were three giants, each with a single eye. They were the children of Gaia and Ouranus (Uranus), along with the Titans and the Hecatonchires ("Hundred Hands"). However, Uranus considered the Cyclopes and the Hecatonchires hideous and hid them in Gaia's body, causing their mother much pain. Gaia in her anguish then convinced one of the Titans, Cronos, to overthrow Uranus. Although Cronus did so successfully, he refused to free his Hecatonchires and Cyclopes brothers. Zeus, the son of Cronos and the leader of the Olympians, who would fight the Titans, freed the Cyclopes from Tartarus. In gratitude, the Cyclopes forged the Lightning Bolt for Zeus, the Trident for Poseidon and the Helmet of Invisibility for Hades, which were crucial to the Olympians winning the Great War. When Asclepius, son of the god Apollo, discovered a way to resuscitate the dead, Zeus had to kill him with a lightning bolt. Even though Apollo got angered with that, he couldn't have revenge against his father. Instead, he killed these Cyclops. These Cyclopes are extremely powerful deities, each considered on par with a Titan or Olympian. The Cyclopes in the God of War series, however, seem to have more in common with another group of mythological Cyclopes, a race that lived on islands and herded sheep, an example of such a Cyclopes is Polyphemus.
