The original three Cyclopes: Brontes, Steropes and Arges, lived in the heart of the earth with Hephaestus, helping him forge for the gods. They were the ones who created Zeus' thunderbolts.
Later Greeks and the Romans identified Mt. Aetna in Sicily as their home.
Other Cyclopes, monstrous sons of Poseidon, usually lived in caves or hovels by the sea.
