They are the one eyed giant children of Poseidon that live on the land that Odysseus and his men go to. They do not farm but rely on food that naturally grows on their land. Each Cyclops lives in a cave. They have no laws, and take no account of each of their neighbours.
Polyphemus
in the caves
In Homers Odyssey, Odysseus encountered many obstacles such as the one eyed cyclopes.
According to Greek Mythology, as explained in Homer's Epic, The Odyssey, the father of the Cyclopes was POSEIDON, God of the Sea/Ocean.
in the odyssey, odysseus show cleverness in many ways. He show cleverness when on the island with the cyclopes. With the cyclopes killing his men odyssues must fin a way to keep most of his men alive. So he gets the cyclopes drunk with wine and telling him he is nohbody. then when the cyclopes falls asleep odysseus staps the cyclopes in the eye. When he escapes the cyclpose he makes him look stupid making the cyclopes scream "nohbody did this Nohbody did this!"
odysseys is on his way back from the Trojan war were he ends up on the island of the cyclopes.
In Greek mythology, the Cyclopes were one-eyed giants known for their incredible strength and craftsmanship. They are often associated with the forging of thunderbolts for Zeus and other weapons for the gods. There are two main groups of Cyclopes: the primordial Cyclopes, who were the offspring of Uranus and Gaia, and the later Cyclopes, like Polyphemus, who featured in Homer's "Odyssey." They symbolize both the raw power of nature and the creative force of skilled artisanship.
They had been driven by storm to an island near the land of the cyclopes. The next morning Odysseus decided to see what land that was. Nobody knew about the cyclopes. To understand the Odyssey I recommend you read it.
No. The original 3 Cyclopes were sons of Kronos and Rhea, and the one from the Odyssey was a son of Poseidon. They were immortal, but they were not gods.

In Greek mythology, the Cyclopes are not gods but rather one-eyed giants. They are often associated with the god Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmanship, as they are said to have forged Zeus's thunderbolts. The most famous Cyclopes are Polyphemus, who appears in Homer's "Odyssey," and the three Cyclopes known as Brontes, Steropes, and Arges, who were the offspring of Uranus and Gaia.
In Greek mythology, Polyphemus is one of the Cyclopes, mentioned in Odyssey. There is another Polyphemus in Greek mythology, a Lapith who fought the Centaurs.
