I don't know that we can trust Herodotus's recount of Astyages and Harpagus, more so since it's similar to the older story of Thyestes. But on the other hand, there might be a kernel of truth in at least one story with such a popular theme. Certainly real humans are cruel enough to give it a try, whether ancient Greeks or modern Americans.
