The Cyclops is a type of mythical hero unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

The mighty Cyclopes played many important roles in Greek mythology. To Hesiod they were master craftsmen, while other thought of them as the sons of Uranus and Gaia who fought alongside the Olympians against the Titans. According to Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus himself encountered one in his travels. One possible explanation for these striking creatures can be found in the use by primitive tribes of dwarf mammoth skull helmets during the Bronze Age; their large nasal cavity could have been misinterpreted by Aegeans as a single eye socket, inspiring tall tales of their wearers' uncanny appearance and mythical origins.
