They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Cyclops of Kephallonia. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |

The Cyclops of Kephallonia (died 431 BCE) was a thug who resided on the Greek island of Kephallonia during the 5th century BCE. He was well known for missing his left eye, which he occasionally replaced with an obsidian replica. Ironically, he detested being called the Cyclops.
Biography
At some point prior to 431 BCE, the Cyclops settled down in Kephallonia, putting up a residence within the Cursed Valley of Pali.[1]
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.[2] Markos retaliated by sending Kassandra to steal the Cyclops' obsidian eye, planning on selling it to pay off most of his debt.[3]
The Cyclops later met Captain Barnabas, who recalled 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 him in a vat. 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.[4]
