Definition
A rare congenital condition where conjoined twins are joined at the head, or a two-headed creature in mythology.
Etymology
From Greek kephalē (head) + pagos (fixed/joined, from pēgnynai to fasten). This term emerged in medical literature to describe rare cases of conjoined twins and was also applied to mythological creatures.
Kelly Says
Ancient myths about two-headed creatures weren't just imagination—when rare conjoined twins were born throughout history, people created stories around them, and later scientists used the same Greek roots to give these conditions precise names.
