The tale we are narrating today is just for fun. It must only be taken as an amusement and a masterpiece of imagination then. According to Lucian of Samosata (c. 120 AD - c. 190 AD), the mystery of Men with fat calves is connected to the Moon. The latter was inhabited (just like the Sun or the Pleiades). And over there, babies were produced and carried by Men, not by Women !
Most likely from Greek origin, Lucian was born in Syria on the banks of Euphrates (a part of the Roman Empire at his time). And he liked a lot to joke about life. His works were written for fun, and he wanted them... not to be taken seriously !
The mystery of Men with fat calves is then going to be uncovered again to you, far after the death of Lucian. And it will definitively amaze you, as they sometimes came to Earth on visit to meet beautiful Earthling Women - just like the famous Nephilim's fathers of the Bible !

Among other writings, the "True history" Lucian of Samosata wrote led him to the Moon and the Sun, and even further than the famous Pleiades (called "M45" in modern astronomers' language). In his trip to the Moon, Lucian discovered that babies were born from Men swollen calves over there ! Men's pregnancies for reproduction were happening because there was no women, according to him. It can seem strange, but it could be the main reason they wanted to come to Earth to meet beautiful Earthling women !
Of course, Lucian didn't have any rocket at that time. So the travel he made was just realized through his own imagination and dreams...as well as unpredictables winds. Those unusual winds could be found beyond the Columns of Hercules in the "Atlantic Sea" and what seems to be America (yet unknown at that time), with its Women-Vines ! And obviously, he wasn't at all expecting to be believed. As a warning to his work, he even asked paradoxically readers to consider his "True history" as untrue...which they didn't really do because of the human sense of contradiction !
This idea of Men of the Moon carrying babies in their calves is recalling a famous Greek myth : the birth of Dionysos who came out Zeus' thig. The supreme God of Greek pantheon is also famous for having given birth to Athena, who came out of his head all armed ! And the concept of parthenogenesis is directly attached to her strange conception. Men being below Zeus (Jupiter for the Romans), it is logic in a way he had placed Moon's babies below the thigh, in calves - inferior members : he showed this way his deference towards the great Zeus !
The fantasy work of Lucian of Samosata as regards the Men of the Moon, is then highlighting a kind of peculiar parthenogenesis - answering a necessity. He is considered nowadays as an astonishing and pleasant Philosopher of the IInd century with a lot of imagination. Incidentally, he had the peculiarity not to appreciate Aristotle (384 - 322 BC), he found very boring and quite limiting for human thinking : he was considering him as a rather false master to think ! And he was personalizing "Philosophia" as the daughter of Zeus, so not considering it just as a life concept !
Even Arnold Schwarzenegger (born in Austria in 1947) in his movie "Junior" (1994), is carrying a baby in his belly, and not in one of his calf. "Junior" is an Hollywood fairly recent comedy produced and directed by Ivan Reitman (1946 - 2022). As an aside, Ivan Reitman who was a very creative cineast was born in Slovakia and died in Montecito (California, USA) on last february. And World Cinema will miss him a lot. In "Junior", the Austrian Doctor Alex Hesse (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is making the very funny experiment of being pregnant, to demonstrate the benefits and the safety of his friend's new method, the gynecologist Larry Arbogast (Danny DeVito) !
The work of Lucian of Samosata wasn't just a crazy satyr of society in the IInd century AD (under Pax Romana). He went further than that, as the first known writer of Science-Fiction. And his tone was both humoristic and fair in his very unusual and striking descriptions !
The evocation of a big War between the inhabitants of the Moon and the ones of the Sun, with a kind of unexpected truce preparing an agreement to finally establish Peace, could be taken as more than an allegory !
Even nowadays, some specialists of the Cosmos and Earth are discreetly wondering about an interminable Galactic war, notably between the strong Pleiadians and their ex-brothers from Aldebaran sheltered in Antarctica with Martian survivors and a human core (the "Black Fleet")... or Alpha Draconians for the control of Earth, the Moon and Mars, for instance !
And we are not talking either of the strong influence of Venusians and the small Zetas in Asia for new technologies and high tech rockets, aircrafts and weapons...or in America and Europe with the "Woke" movement and also the one impulsing "Climatic change" initiated in the Fifties, with Andromedans as well. About the latter, they wanted to be able to breathe better on Earth !
Of course this is just another example, as we could have spoken too about the renewed interactions of Sirians - amphibians from Sirius B - in Africa (Mali, Burkina Fasso, Niger, Horn of Africa..) or in Europe equally (to regain control on the 7 energetic pyramids of Crimea, between Sebastopol and Cape Sarych, recalling the 7 Pleiades)... not to mention Alpha Centaurians (equally amphibians) in the Triangle of Bermuda or in the Devil Triangle near Japan !
