King Nebuchadnezzar was the greatest king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire (605BC to 562BC). He is credited with building the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world if we ignore the inconvenient fact that The Hanging Gardens are the only wonder of the ancient world that may not even have existed.
Nebuchadnezzar’s love of plants stretched well beyond his admiration of Hanging Gardens. The Book of Daniel describes how the king “was driven from men and did eat grass as oxen”. This reference makes King Nebuchadnezzar the most famous sufferer of boanthropy. Boanthropy is a psychological disorder in which a human believes he or she is a cow or an ox.
