Steropes

Steropes the Lightning Bringer was one of the Cyclopes, hybrid-beasts created by the Isu as part of the Olympos Project. During the 5th century BCE the beast was held in a cave within the Bay of Nobody on the Greek island of Andros.

Between 429 and 422 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra traveled to the bay and eliminated Steropes, recovering a bow from its body.[1]
