"Ctesias speaks also of another race of men, who have only one leg but are able to leap with surprising agility. The same people are also called Skiapodae, because they are in the habit of lying on their backs, during the time of the extreme heat, and protect themselves from the sun by the shade of their feet." - Pliny the Elder.
