{{one source|date=September 2016}} {{notability|date=September 2016}} The '''Oeonae''' or '''Oönæ''' were a mythical human race appearing in works of classical geography such as Pomponius Mela's ''De situ orbis'' and Pliny the Elder's ''Natural History''. They were said to subsist exclusively on oats and the eggs of marsh birds; further, they were reported to share an island with the Panotti and Hippopodes.(Mela iii. § 56). <ref name=Romer>{{cite book |title=Pomponius Mela's Description of the World |first=Frank E. |last=Romer |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015042048507 |publisher=University of Michigan Press |location=Ann Arbor |date=1998 |isbn= 9780472084524}}</ref><ref name=Perseus>{{cite web | url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0137:book=4:chapter=27 | work=Perseus Digital Library | title=The Natural History: Book IV, Chapter 27 | publisher=Tufts University | accessdate=2010-09-02 }}</ref>
