Life
Brontes is a child of Gaia and Uranus, and his siblings include his fellow cyclopes, Arges and Steropes, along with the Titans and the Hecatoncheires. After his birth, Uranus is said to have locked Brontes and his cyclopes brothers in Tartarus out of fear, along with the Hecatoncheires. During the war between the Titans and the Gods, Arges, Brontes, and Steropes were freed to fashion lightning bolts for Zeus during his attempt to overthrow the gods. According to Apollodorus, Brontes and his fellow cyclopes also fashioned the Helmet of Invisibility for Hades, and the trident for Poseidon.
