In Greek mythology father of the cyclops?

The answer is Uranus, or at least it was for me for a crossword puzzle for a planet project. I believe that the father of the Cyclops' is Neptune. Both answers are correct, depending on which Cyclopes you are looking for. Ouranos (Uranus) was the father of the three giant Cyclopes, Arges, Brontes and Steropes, the forgers of Zeus' lightning bolts and Hephaestus' helpers. Polyphemus, the cyclops from the Odyssey, was a son of Neptune; presumably along with the others on the island.
