Elder Cyclopes

The Elder Cyclopes were the first cyclops created by Gaia and the brothers of the Hekatonkheires.

History
They eventually became synonyms for strength and power. Uranus feared them, and locked them in Tartarus. Kronos, son of Uranus, attempted to free the Elderly Cyclopes, along with the Hekatonkheires. Together, they fought against Uranus took over Olympus. Kronos placed them back in Tartarus, where they remained, guarded by Kampê. During Kronos' rule, the Titan never freed the Elder Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires.

This was when Zeus, son of Kronos, attempted to free them once more and fought in the First Olympian War to overthrow Kronos and the Titans, sending them to be imprisoned in Tartarus. The lightning bolts, which became Zeus's main weapons, were forged by the elder Cyclopes: Arges added brightness, Brontes added thunder, and Steropes added lightning.
