== Possible death ==
In [[Hesiod]]'s [[Catalogue of Women]], the three Cyclopes, including Arges, are said to have been killed by [[Apollo]] in retaliation for his son [[Asclepius]] being killed by a lightning bolt.<ref>Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA66 p. 66].</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Henderson|first=Jeffrey|title=Alcestis|url=https://www.loebclassics.com/view/euripides-alcestis/1994/pb_LCL012.155.xml|access-date=2020-10-15|website=Loeb Classical Library|language=en}}</ref> However, this contradicts Hesiod's [[Theogony]], which implies the cyclopes are immortal.
