Cyclopes (1) (Singular: Cyclops; Round-eyed)
Greek Three sons of Uranus and Gaia, large
and strong, each with one eye in the middle of his
forehead; siblings of the Hecatoncheires, hundredhanded
giants, and the younger Titans.

The stones they used were so massive that the term “cyclopean” has come to mean gigantic. They were also called “belly-hands” for they worked for their livings.
