Arimaspians: Mysterious Mighty One-Eyed Warriors From The North
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - The Arimaspians present a fascinating subject in ancient lore—a tribe of horsemen, each described as having a single eye centered on their forehead.

Greek records provide intriguing glimpses into the enigmatic Arimaspians of Inner Asia, often described as one-eyed beings in both Greek and Inner Asian traditions. These accounts, echoed by geographers from India and China who chronicled the nomadic peoples of the steppe, paint a vivid picture of a people locked in an enduring struggle against griffins - legendary creatures revered and feared as guardians of gold and treasures.
