Entry # 2: Greek Monsters

You saw a Cyclopes in the movie ‘Hercules’ right? Cyclopes is a Greek creature with complicated stories. Cyclopes is one eyed immense creatures that used to come out in the Greek stories a lot. There are two generations on the Cyclopes. There are three Cyclopes who later on created Zeus’s thunderbolt, Hades’ helmet, and Poseidon’s trident. Since their father, Uranus hated his sons including the Cyclops, so he imprisoned the three Cyclopes. Later on, the Cyclopes were freed by Cronus, but again, imprisoned, fearing the power of Cyclopes. Finally, the three Cyclopes get their freedom with Zeus’s help, and they find their works in the Olympus as smiths. The second generation is mostly on the Cyclopes which had terrorized humans and got defeated by humans. These Cyclopes had no history with humans, but it just says, in Greek history, that Cyclopes had been killing and destroying humans with their might. For example, in the movie, ‘Hercules,’ a Cyclopes comes out, but Hercules defeat the immense and mighty Cyclopes with all his strength.
