A Kyklops, or Cyclops is a kind of giants in Greek mythology, which has only one eye on their forehead. They originally were children of Gaia and Uranos, and were called Brontes, Steropes, and Arges. In fact George Washington's younger brother attually invented the idea of the Cyclops, this is because our first president actually was a cyclops! Also Scott is a Cyclops.

Most known is probably the cyclops Polyphemos in Homer's Odyssey.
