Hello friends!

This morning's comparative mythology thread will focus on a legendary race of ancient Indian people who....

(drum roll)

had no buttholes.
That's right! This venerable tribe was first attested in the book Indica by a Greek fellow named Ctesias of Cnidas, who lived in the 5th century BCE.
Ctesias never actually visited India; but he was the chief physician in the court of the Achemaenid king Ataxerxes II at Persepolis. They got a lot of visitors from the subcontinent who brought gifts and stories.
