 * Name of identity: Enarees, Enareis, or Anarieis (ἐναρής). The ancient Greek historian Herodotus said this means "men-women" or "effeminates." Some modern historians notice that it does not look like a Scythian word, but seems to have been from Greek for "Accursed." It is not known today what the Enarees called themselves.
 * Culture: The Scythians, who were Eurasian nomadic horseriders. They lived in regions that are now the modern-day countries of Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Egypt, and neighboring countries. They had contact with many more, due to their use of the Silk Road.
 * Era: As far back as the 7th century BCE, to as late as the 3rd century CE
 * Description of sex/gender: AMAB and feminine
 * Role in society: Priests of the goddess Artimpasa, also called Argimpasa, who the Greeks thought correlated with their goddess Aphrodite. Artimpasa also had AFAB priestesses. The enarees told the future, and did women's work.
