Kiklop

Kiklop is a term that can refer to several distinct entities, primarily a mythical giant and a Yugoslavian rock band. In Greek mythology, the Cyclopes, or Kiklop in some transliterations, were a race of giants with a single eye in the middle of their forehead. The most famous Kiklop in mythology is Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, who was encountered by Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. These primordial beings were often depicted as brutish and powerful, associated with forging and crafting.

Separately, Kiklop is also the name of a prominent Yugoslavian and later Croatian rock band formed in 1962. They were one of the pioneers of the Yugoslav rock scene, known for their progressive rock sound. The band released several influential albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and their music often incorporated elements of jazz and folk. Kiklop's legacy is significant in the history of Yugoslav rock music, influencing many subsequent bands. The band's name itself, referencing the mythological giant, might have alluded to their powerful and impactful sound.
