Acamas

Mythology: Greek

Acamas is the name for the Cyclops of Greek myth. There were three Cyclops belonging to Gaia and Ouranos. They were single eyed giants with their one eye in the middle of their forehead. They were imprisoned in Tartarus by the Titans. They were soon rescued by the Olympian gods who persuaded them to join them. They were then given the task to make weapons for the gods in forgeries under Mount Etna. The three Cyclops were killed by the arrows of Apollo after they made the arrows that killed the Greek hero Aesculapius.
