* The [[Trope Namers]] are the Cyclopes of [[Classical Mythology]], of which there were two types:
** One was a group of people-eating giants - the most famous of them is Polyphemous from ''[[The Odyssey]]''.
** The other was a group of giants that worked in Hephaestus' forges, and were responsible for creating Zeus's thunderbolts among other things; these Cyclopes feature somewhat prominently in the first three Hymns of Callimachus.
* [[Sinbad the Sailor]]
