agrios-anthropos

Agrios Anthropos translates to 'Wild Man' in Greek and refers to a forest-dwelling humanoid on the island of Rhodes. Descriptions from ancient and medieval texts suggest a moss-covered man-like creature, often seen in olive groves or forest edges at dusk. The being is said to grunt rather than speak and to flee from human interaction. Ancient Greek myths reference similar beings, leading some to connect Agrios to satyrs or rustic gods. While many locals regard it as folklore, occasional sightings by hikers continue to keep the legend alive. Skeptics suggest it may have originated from early hermits or reclusive humans living in the wild.
