Macrobians

The Macrobians (Μακροβίοι) were a legendary people mentioned by Herodotus, speculated to have lived in the Horn of Africa. They were one of the peoples postulated by the Greeks to exist at the extremity of the known world; in this case, in the extreme south. This contrasts with the Hyperboreans, who were said to live in the extreme north.
