I’ve chosen the myth of where Zeus gets his lightning bolts. The myth says that:
Uranus, fearing their strength, locked them in Tartarus. Cronus, another son of Uranus and Gaia, later freed the Cyclopes, along with the Hecatonchires, after he had overthrown Uranus. Cronus then placed them back in Tartarus, where they remained, guarded by the female dragon Campe, until freed by Zeus. They fashioned thunderbolts for Zeus to use as weapons, and helped him overthrow Cronus and the other Titans. The thunderbolts, which became Zeus’ main weapons, were forged by all three Cyclopes, in that Arges added brightness, Brontes added thunder, and Steropes added lightning.

Here we have the first cyclops of the three, Brontes, who added Thunder to Zeus’s Lightning bolts. The idea here is that we will see a steampunk forge up in Olympus where these three are making the lightning for Zeus.
