Well, I’m gonna cast my stones

O’er the waters of this land

And by and by

I’ll see them far and long

Cynocephalus

Indica by Ctesias (5th Century BC)

Name literally means dog heads. Supposedly Indians call them Kalystrii

Live in the mountains of India

Can live to be 170, sometimes 200 years old

Look like men with the heads of dogs. Their teeth is larger than that of other dogs, their nails are round and long like other animals. Their skin is swarthy

Above their hips is a tail like a dog's, but longer and hairier [like a wolf's then?]

Understand the speech of humans but cannot replicate it. They communicate via barking and hand signs

Very just, like other Indians

Number around 120,000 at the time of writing [4th century BC]

Hunter pastoralists. Cook animals by leaving them to roast in the sun. Farm sheep (for wool and milk, which they love), goats, and asses

Also eat Siptakhora fruit for its sweetness. Love it so much that they also eat it dried

Trade the fruit for bread, flour, and cotton with the Indians, whom they also buy swords for hunting wild beasts, bows, and arrows

Skilled with bows and hurling spears. Once an animal is wounded they can overtake it, being very fleet of foot

Live in caves rather than houses. Wear skins of animals, tanned and de-furred to look very fine. The richest wear linen, but there are very few of them

Bathe rarely. Women do so only once a month, men only wash their hands. Sometimes (3 times every month) they anoint themselves with oil made from milk and wash themselves with skins

The richest is determined by he who has the most sheep

Have no beds. Sleep on leaves or grass

Every year they send a tribute to the Indian king via rafting on the rivers to his lands: Siptakhora fruit, purple flowers, purple dye, and 1260 talents of amber

The Indian king sends them a present of 300,000 bows, as many spears, 120,000 shields, and 50,000 swords ever five years

trying to make a cynocephalus custom lineage, what'd be a good feat for a regular guy with a dog head?

“Do not speak to me of canine traditions. What are they? They are bones, leg-humping, and the leash.” - Admiral Horatio Lloyd

One may be forgiven for being unaware that Pink Lloyd is a lineal descendant of Admiral of the Fleet Horatio Lloyd, 1st Viscount Lloyd, 1st Duke of Bronte (who himself was directly descended from the cynocephalic Saint Christopher of the Eastern Orthodox Church). The above portrait of the Admiral may be viewed at His Majesty's Naval Base, Devonport where it has become tradition for sailors of the Royal Navy to touch the frame for luck before a deployment.

Above is Pink Lloyd

#Don't get excited it's more cynocephali yuri #That's the only thing breaking thru my art block but I'm flying too close to the sun by doing dramatic lighting on human(ish) bodies #which I'm not very well practiced in so it's been 3 hours of just attempting to block out color. I like this bit so far and nothing else #Gotta force myself to finish though it's good practice...Cant get good again without actually doing moderately ambitious shit sometimes
