Cyclopes

Two different one-eyed peoples share the name. Hesiod's Cyclopes are three sons of Earth and Heaven, Brontes, Steropes and Arges, who forged the thunderbolt for Zeus; Homer's are a lawless race of giant shepherds, among them Polyphemus son of Poseidon, whom Odysseus blinded. Later Greeks credited the walls of Mycenae and Tiryns to Cyclopes too.
