Cyclops is a very well known myth in the Greek and Roman mythology. This is considered to be a gigantic creature that had a single eye. There are also many people that may believe in these creatures even today.
The Cyclops is considered to be a very huge and gigantic creature. The size and power of this creature was so extreme that it is also said that they could uproot the trees right with the roots. It is considered to be a very prominent member of the primordial race of the giants. There is a great story behind it. It is believed that there was a great war shed between the Titans and the Gods. The Titans were very powerful and also had immense powers. They were very difficult to defeat so the Gods came up with a trick that would help them to defeat the Titans. Zeus the leader of Gods did release three Cyclopes from the dark pit that was called Tartarus. As a return to this favour the Cyclopes gave him the thunderbolt, Helmet of invisibility to Hades and also gave trident to Poseidon. These weapons made the Gods invincible. They then used these weapons to defeat the Titans and also succeeded. This was the start of the myth of the Cyclopes. The Cyclops is considered to be the son of Uranus and Gaia. The basic look of these creatures, as is described from centuries, has got a furious image. It can send shivers to any one that may imagine standing face to face with a single eyed giant.
However, as the time passes the myth and the fear of Cyclops is fading from the memories of people and also from the myths. We may still have a glimpse of Cyclops in some of the stories or in some of our bad dreams.
