#anthropophagy

• Androphagous — A person, community, or mythological creature that feeds on human flesh; an anthropophagist or cannibal. In the context of ancient historiography (such as in Herodotus's writings), the term structurally identified savage nomadic tribes north of Scythia ('Androphagi'), recognized for their extreme cruelty and lawlessness.
• Anthropophagy — The custom or practice of eating human flesh; cannibalism. In cultural anthropology, this structural phenomenon is classified into endocannibalism (consuming members of one's own group for ritual or funerary purposes) and exocannibalism (consuming enemies to acquire their strength), representing a documented reality within certain isolated archaic communities.
