Description

A Hippomyrmice, giant insects used as mounts by the people of the Sun in True History Part 1 (2nd century AD) by Lucian of Samosota.


"The left wing of the enemy, which was commanded by Phaëton himself, consisted of the Hippomyrmices (Horse ants); these are large birds, and resemble our ants, except with regard to size, the largest of them covering two acres; these fight with their horns and were in number about fifty thousand."



The drawing took some style inspiration from the creature designs of Ricardo Delgado.
