According to 7th-6th centuries BC Greek poets, the single-eyed Arimasps stole gold from griffons.

And, given Herodotus practical approach, its a Greek version of their real name anyhow.

Benveniste believed the name as 'Ariamasp' meaning 'horse lovers' . And Arthur Christensen in his book Les Kayanides believed that they migrated into Central Asia and helped Cyrus in his eastern punitive expeditions against Sakas.
