This reminds me of some greek philosopher's tale of some continent far to the south with people with ,yes, their faces on their chests and lacking true heads. It was a typical greek philosopher's super culture(think Plato's utopia). So yeah.

The Greek historian Herodotus writes of "headless ones that have eyes in their chests" (4.191) in his Histories. They supposedly live in the far reaches of Northern Africa from the perspective of the Greeks, i.e. west of Libya. Perhaps you were thinking of him?
Yes, that's them. Thanks, I really need to bone up upon my greek mythology; though that'll have to wait as I finally ordered the kojiki and should get it soon enough.
