The Blemmyae - a man-like creature with no head but a face in its chest - is one of the many extraordinary beings described in
The Wonders of the East, a prose work cataloguing fantastical animals and monsters said by the Anglo-Saxons to dwell in foreign lands. Whether or not the readers of this text actually believed in all it describes is a moot point, but it still serves to reveal much about their culture.
