Definition: The word "arnattos" in Greek mythology refers to a type of beast with wings, but without any legs or feet. It's associated with mythological animals like lions, eagles, and tortoises. The term describes beings that could fly, yet their bodies were not equipped for flight, which implies they lacked the necessary air circulation systems and muscles. The word is related to the ancient Greek concept of "fouls," which are small creatures that can soar in the sky like birds but have no wings or legs, resembling lions. The term "arnattos" was used by the Greeks to describe such mythical beasts, emphasizing their lack of natural flight capabilities and suggesting they were not truly winged animals. The word is also sometimes associated with the mythological figure Hades, who is said to be a mortal who has been consumed by hunger or thirst. This could mean that the creatures described in "arnattos" are not actually real beings but symbols or allegories for certain aspects of Greek mythology and human nature.
