• Headless_men abstract "For the non-legendary tribe see Blemmyes.Various species of mythical headless men were rumored, in antiquity and later, to inhabit remote parts of the world. They are variously known as akephaloi (Greek ἀκέφαλοι, headless ones) or Blemmyes (Latin Blemmyae) and described as having a mouth in their chest and eyes in their shoulders.According to Herodotus, in his Histories, the inhabitants of ancient Libya claimed the existence of these creatures in the eastern part of their lands, as well as cynochephali, "and the wild men and women, besides many other creatures not fabulous".In a similar vein, Pliny the Elder in the Natural History mentions the (historical) Blemmyae tribe of North Africa as "said to have no heads, their mouths and eyes being seated in their breasts". He situates the Blemmyae somewhere in Aethiopia.Some authors derive the story of the Blemmyes from this, that their heads were hid between their shoulders, by hoisting those up to an extravagant height.[citation needed] Samuel Bochart derives the word Blemmyes from two Hebrew terms, one a negation, the other meaning "brain", implying that the Blemmyes were people without brains.".
