Arimaspi

Ἀριμασποί). A people in the north of Scythia, represented as men with only one eye, who fought with the griffins for the possession of the gold in their neighbourhood. The germ of the fable is perhaps to be recognized in the fact that the Ural Mountains abound in gold. See Aristeas; Aurum.
