Arimaspi (other-GK. Ἀριμασποί, lat. Arimaspi) - mythical people in the extreme North-East of the ancient world. According to Herodotus, it was the one-eyed people (as does the word "arimas" Scythian language), constantly fighting with the griffins in the desire to take those protected gold. Some researchers believe that arimaspi can escape the idea of actually existing South Siberian nomadic Scythian people of the bronze age[1].
