was a name in Greek mythology. A fable of the ancient Greeks recites that a people lived in India whose feet were so large as to be capable of serving as umbrellas. The Sciapodes (shadow-footed people) were accordingly in the habit of seating themselves and interposing a foot between the sun and their persons.
