(Κάμπη), a monster which was appeinted in Tartarus to guard the Cyclops. It was killed by Zeus when he wanted the assistance of the Cyclops against the Titans. (Apollod. 1.2.1.) Diodorus (3.72) mentions a monster of the same name, which was slain by Dionysus, and which Nonnus (Dionys. 18.237, &c.) identifies with the former.
