In Greek mythology and later Roman mythology, the [[Cyclopes]] (/saɪˈkloʊpiːz/ sy-KLOH-peez; Greek: [[Κύκλωπες]], Kýklōpes, "Circle-eyes" or "Round-eyes"; singular [[Cyclops]] /ˈsaɪklɒps/ SY-klops; Κύκλωψ, Kýklōps) are giant one-eyed creatures. Three groups of Cyclopes can be distinguished. In Hesiod's Theogony, they are the brothers Brontes, Steropes, and Arges, who provided Zeus with his weapon the thunderbolt. In Homer's Odyssey, they are an uncivilized group of shepherds, the brethren of Polyphemus encountered by Odysseus. Cyclopes were also famous as the builders of the Cyclopean walls of Mycenae and Tiryns.

The fifth-century BC playwright Euripides wrote a satyr play entitled Cyclops, about [[Odysseus]]' encounter with [[Polyphemus]]. Mentions of the Hesiodic and the wall-builder Cyclopes also figure in his plays. The third-century BC poet Callimachus makes the Hesiodic Cyclopes the assistants of smith-god Hephaestus. So does Virgil in his Latin epic Aeneid, where he seems to equate the Hesiodic and Homeric Cyclopes.

[[Cyclops]] (Ancient Greek: [[Κύκλωψ]], Kyklōps) is an ancient Greek [[satyr]] [[play]] by [[Euripides]], based closely on an episode from the Odyssey. It would have been the fourth part of a tetralogy presented by Euripides in a dramatic festival in 5th Century BC Athens. The date of its composition is unknown, but it was probably written late in Euripides' career. It is the only complete and extant satyr play.
