The Cyclopes were giant beings with a single, round eye in the middle of their foreheads. According to Hesiod, they were strong, stubborn, and "abrupt of emotion." Their every action ebbed with violence and power. There are actually two generations of Cyclopes in Greek myth. The first generation consisted of three brothers, Brontes ("thunderer"), Steropes ("flasher"), and Arges ("brightener"), who came from the union of Gaia (earth) and Uranus (sky). Brontes, Steropes, and Arges (the three descended from Gaia and Uranus) were the inventive blacksmiths of the Olympian gods. They were skilled metal workers and created Zeus' thunderbolts, Poseidon's trident, and Hades' Helmet of Darkness that was later used by Perseus while on his quest to decapitate Medusa.

What is Thunder greek mythology?
I'm unsure if you're asking who the god of Thunder was in Greek mythology, or if there was a myth about what makes the thunder sound.I'll answer best I can.Zeus if the god responsible for thunder. But previously, thunder was personified in the presence of the Cyclopes named Brontes. Each of the three brothers personified a different part of the total experience of thunder and lightning: Steropes embodied the bolt of lightning, Argespersonified the accompanying flash of light and Brontesrepresented the following thunder. After being freed from Tartarus, they each gave a piece of their power to Zeus, in the form of his famed thunderbolts.
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.
