This document discusses different types of cyclopes from Greek mythology. It mentions that cyclopes were described as having a single eye and were skilled blacksmiths. Hesiod's cyclopes, such as Arges, Steropes and Brontes, were divine giants that helped Zeus defeat the Titans by forging his thunderbolt. Homer's cyclopes were a savage race of one-eyed shepherds, including the man-eating Polyphemus, who Odysseus outwitted. The cyclopes eventually became the assistants of Hephaestus and worked in his workshop located in the volcanic mountain of Etna.
