The Cyclops - according to classical myth - are named Arges, Steropes and Brontes, children of Uranus and Gaia, and differed from their brothers and sisters the Titans by having only one eye each.
    The Cyclops were said to be allies of Zeus during the Titan rebellion, and actually made him thunderbolts to use as weapons; until one was killed by Apollo in revenge for Zeus killing Apollo's son Asclepius with a thunderbolt.

In reality, the Cyclops are alive and well; so too Asclepius. The Cyclops are also said to help Hephaestus in his volcano forge. But during numerous encounters with Hephaestus, never have the Cyclops been seen there, for Hephaestus has his own helpers. And if the Cyclops had been there, our team-member would have recognised them. 
     Exactly what they do is so far not known. But whatever it is they are well-equipped. 

The Cyclops appear generally as three, though there may be more. They appear naked, apart from loin cloths. They have huge faces with one big bloodshot eye apiece in the middle; bulbous noses and thick lips. They are tall and fat, extremely fat, with massive arms. They can stand several metres tall or as high as a three storey house. They are awesomely frightening, and frighteningly awesome as our team-member recounts:

'...I saw a blinding flash of light then two figures appeared, but there could have been others. 

"We are the mighty and strong Cyclops. You draw back at the sight of us. We are ugly and we are glad of this. You show courage to welcome us. We are not used to being welcomed anywhere, yet you do. Welcoming us is brave; paying homage to us is excellent. You are admired for standing up to us. Many fled from us long ago." 

Another Cyclops appeared beside the first; then another appeared, then another until there were about twenty of them.

"We are the only ones who can make images of ourselves over and over again; therefore being in many places at the same time. Our temples are now full of us. We appeared to one woman, a strong big person in the prime of her life. She dropped dead of fright. She has learnt much in the past few weeks but has much more to learn. Two women saw us and told their Christian priest who had taken over a church built on the site of a temple to a great Goddess. They told him about us and he chanted strange words to send us to hell and damnation. The words were futile. We are stronger than him."

It is best not to offend the Cyclops. By their own proud admission they are ugly. But it is not their ugliness you have to worry about.
