This is another tough one to answer quickly. In Greek, the letter K is "Kappa" - the hard K sound. In Latin, there was no "K". They used the letter "C" for this sound. For some reason, as Latin changed, the hard "K" was replaced with the soft "S" sound. As an example, we pronounce Cicero as "SIS-er-oh" when in fact, it was "KIK-er-oh".
So, most of the Greek mythological names have been "Latinized", so that the Romans would understand their meaning. Whenever there was a "K", it usually becomes a "C" when Latinized (unless it starts with CH, which is actually the letter Chi or "X"). Those names that start with K were ones not observed by the Romans.
As an example, Cronus was actually Kronos. Here are the ones I know:
Coeus (Κοῖος - Koios), Crius (ΚÏεῖος - Kreios), Clymene (ΚλυμÎνη - Klemene), Cottus (Κόττος - Kottos), Caerus (ΚαιÏός - Kairos), Corus (ΚόÏος - Koros), Kakia (Kακία), Kalokagathia (Καλοκαγαθία), The Keres (ΚῆÏες), Koalemos (Κοάλεμος), Kratos (ΚÏάτος), Kydoimos (Κυδοιμός), Clotho (Κλωθώ - Klotho), Cerberus (ΚÎÏβεÏος - Kerberos), Keuthonymos (Κευθόνυμος), Kokytos (Kωκυτός), Ceto (Κῆτώ - Keto), Cymopoleia (Κυμοπόλεια - Kymopoleia), Karkinos (ΚαÏκίνος), Celaeno (Κελαινώ - Kelaino), Cabeiri (ΚάβειÏοι - Kabeiroi), The Cercopes (ΚÎÏκοπες - Kerkopes), Comus (Κόμος - Komos), Corymbus (ΚόÏυμβος - Korymbos), The Curetes (ΚουÏÎτες - Kouretes), Cybele (ΚυβÎλη - Kybele), Cladeus (Κλάδεος - Kladeos), Cocytus (Kωκυτός - Kokytos), and of course, the Cyclopes (ΚÏκλωπες - Kyklopes)
