	The Internet Classics Archive \| The History of Herodotus by Herodotus
		Above them dwelt the Arimaspi, men with one eye; still further, the gold-guarding griffins; and beyond these, the Hyperboreans, who extended to the sea.
		Except the Hyperboreans, all these nations, beginning with the Arimaspi, were continually encroaching upon their neighbours.
		Hence it came to pass that the Arimaspi drove the Issedonians from their country, while the Issedonians dispossessed the Scyths; and the Scyths, pressing upon the Cimmerians, who dwelt on the shores of the Southern Sea, forced them to leave their land.

	Monstrous Races
		The Arimaspi are barbaric flesh eaters and would usually hunt alone rather than in groups, they would usually clobbered their prey to death with a club then feast on them raw.
		They are very selfish and greedy creature that will not share their kill or loot with anyone else, that's why they are not very successful hunter and the later generations of Arimaspi turned to shepharding and rearing sheeps.
		The historical traveller Sir John Mandeville chronicled in his travel journal the Arimaspi of India are thieves that steal golds and gemstones from the griffins, therefore they are constantly at war with their neighbours who guarded these treasures with their life.

		No one knows exactly why, but it may be that the gryphons associated the horses with the Arimaspi, noted equestrians.
		The lion and the eagle, the most widely depicted animals in heraldry, combined to form a master over earth and sky, and thus is the natural choice for any monarch.
		It is also the symbol of strength and vigilance, because the gryphons had to guard gold vigilantly from the Arimaspi.
