The Panotti (also Panotii, Panoties, Panotioi, Enotocetes, Long ears, Phanesians, Fanesies from the Greek words πᾶν and οὖς for "all ears") were a mythical tribe, described in medieval bestiaries as possessing large ears that covered their entire bodies.
Description
According to Pliny the Elder, Panotti had large ears so bizarrely huge that they were used in lieu of clothing and as blankets to shield their body against the chills of the night.
Quote
"Crossing the Ripaean Mountains (the Carpathians) must coast to the left along the shore of the northern ocean until we reach Gadis. In this direction a number of islands are reported to exist [perhaps in the Baltic Sea] . . . [and] the Hippopodes on which people are born with horses' feet, which gives them their Greek name; there are others called the Panotiorum (All-Ears Islands) in which the natives have very large ears covering the whole of their bodies, which are otherwise left naked." - Pliny the Elder, Natural History 4. 94 (trans. Rackham) (Roman encyclopedia C1st A.D.)
