For the ancient Greeks the name “Cyclopes” meant “Circle-eyes” or “Round-eyes”, derived from the Greek kúklos (“circle”) and ops (“eye”). This meaning can be seen as early as Hesiod’s Theogony (8th – 7th century BC), which explains that the Cyclopes were called that “since a single circle-shaped eye was set in their foreheads”.
