Androphagi
Androphagi (Greek for "man-eaters") was an ancient nation of cannibals north of Scythia (according to Herodotus), probably in the forests between the upper waters of the Dnepr and Don.
A hypothesis popular in the West is that they were most likely Finns -- the obsolete name of Nenets people, Samoyed, has a similar meaning in Russian: "self-eater". The hypothesis is false, see Nenets.
