Reply:I agree with all of the above, except number 5. Cyclopes have only one eye. Although in the picture here http://www.theoi.com/Gallery/Z42.3.html Polyphemos is shown with three eyes, two in the normal place and one on his forehead, see the Odyssey. He is clearly listed there as having only one eye, which Odysseus and his men poke out with a stick.





In Pausanias description of a statue of Zeus, he mentions him having three eyes. ""On the top of Larisa [the citadel of the city of Argos] is a temple of Zeus, surnamed Larisaios (of Larisa), which has no roof; the wooden image I found no longer standing upon its pedestal. There is also a temple of Athena worth seeing. Here are placed votive offerings, including a wooden image of Zeus, which has two eyes in the natural place and a third on its forehead. " (See http://www.theoi.com/Cult/ZeusCult.html) This is the only instance I know of him having three eyes, however.





Another story by Pausanias mentions a "Three-Eyed-One," whom Hippotes seeks out. It turns out, however, to be a man on a one-eyed horse. (See http://www.theoi.com/Text/Apollodorus2.h... for full story)





I didn't come across any other mention of a three-eyed monster. There is the three-HEADED dog Cerberus, the 100-eyed monster Argus, and the three witches in the story of Perseus that share ONE eye amongst them. I'd be interested to learn what monster you are thinking of.
