The Cyclops of Kephallonia (died 431 BCE) was a thug who resided on the Greek island of Kephallonia during the 5th century BCE. He is well known for missing his left eye, which he sparingly using an obsidian replacement for. Ironically, he detests being called the Cyclops.

Biography

In 431 BCE, the Cyclops loaned drachmae to Markos so he could buy a vineyard. When Markos failed to pay up, the Cyclops sent his men to harass Markos and his Spartan misthios Kassandra.[1] Markos retaliates by sending Kassandra to steal the Cyclops' obsidian eye, planning on selling it to pay off most of his debt.[2]

The Cyclops later meets Captain Barnabas, who recalls an adventure of his where he encountered a "one-eyed monster". Thinking that Barnabas was insulting him, the Cyclops proceeded to torture him by drowning. He was subsequently interrupted by Kassandra, who was in possession of his missing eye. When the Cyclops demanded it back, the misthios proceeded to shove it up the backside of a goat, provoking the Cyclops into attacking. He was ultimately defeated and slain by Kassandra.[3]
