It looks like those that cover things up are too busy covering up so they need extra fingers for some loose ends. Tracing of Troja have been very difficult for over 3000 years because one day it is up North on Baltic, then it goes to Uk and finnaly it settled in Turkey. But hey, you can't fidgit forever, truth have very painfull way of surfacing back up. In these 2 wiki links discord between countries and languges is absolutely ridiculous. I was looking for Mysia or Moesia which was settled across todays Bulgaria and Romania, Troad as Troja is today in Bosna, Lycia in Croatia and Thrace/Thrakia in Bulgaria and Romania instead of todays Turkey.I just had to post this stupidity and copy entire Wiki link cause they are champions in re-writting His-story or even maybe dis-Troy previous His-Story...!!!

Location of Mysia in Anatolia
Mysia (/ˈmɪʒə/ or /ˈmʒə/GreekΜυσίαLatinMysia) was a region in the northwest of ancient Asia Minor or Anatolia (part of modern Turkey). It was located on the south coast of theSea of Marmara. It was bounded by Bithynia on the east, Phrygia on the southeast, Lydia on the south, Aeolis on the southwest, Troad on the west and by the Propontis on the north. In ancient times it was inhabited by the MysiansPhrygiansAeolian Greeks, and other groups.

Geography[edit source | editbeta]

The precise limits of Mysia are difficult to assign. The Phrygian frontier was fluctuating, while in the northwest the Troad was only sometimes included in Mysia. The northern portion was known as Lesser Phrygia or Phrygia Minor (Ancient Greekμικρὰ Φρυγία), while the southern was called Major or Pergamene. Mysia was in later times also known as Phrygia Hellespontica(Ἑλλησποντιακὴ Φρυγία, "Hellespontine Phrygia") or Phrygia Epictetus (ἐπίκτητος Φρυγία, "acquired Phrygia"), so named by the Attalids when they annexed the region to the Kingdom of Pergamon.[1]

Land and elevation[edit source | editbeta]


Coin of Mysia, 4th century BCE.
The chief physical features of Mysia are the two mountainsMount Olympus at (7600 ft) in the north and Mount Temnus in the south, which for some distance separates Mysia from Lydia and is afterwards prolonged through Mysia to the neighbourhood of the Gulf of Adramyttium. The major rivers in the northern part of the province are the Macestus and its tributary the Rhyndacus, both of which rise in Phrygia and, after diverging widely through Mysia, unite their waters below the lake of Apolloniatis about 15 miles (24 km) from the Propontis. The Caïcus in the south rises in Temnus, and from thence flows westward to the Aegean Sea, passing within a few miles of Pergamon. In the northern portion of the province are two considerable lakes, Artynia or Apolloniatis (Abulliont Geul) and Aphnitis (Maniyas Geul), which discharge their waters into the Macestus from the east and west respectively.

Cities in Mysia[edit source | editbeta]

The most important cities were Pergamon in the valley of the Caïcus, and Cyzicus on the Propontis. The whole sea-coast was studded with Greek towns, several of which were places of considerable importance; thus the northern portion included PariumLampsacus and Abydos, and the southern Assos,Adramyttium. Further south, on the Eleatic Gulf, were ElaeaMyrina and Cyme.

History[edit source | editbeta]

A minor episode in the Trojan War cycle in Greek mythology has the Greek fleet land at Mysia, mistaking it for TroyAchilles wounds their king,Telephus, after he slays a Greek; Telephus later pleads with Achilles to heal the wound. This coastal region ruled by Telephus is alternatively named Teuthrania in Greek mythology, and was previously ruled by a King Teuthras. In the IliadHomer represents the Mysians as allies of Troy, with the Mysian forces led by Ennomus (a prophet) and Chromius, sons of Arsinous. Homeric Mysia appears to have been much smaller in extent than historical Mysia, and did not extend north to the Hellespont or the Propontis. Homer does not mention any cities or landmarks in Mysia, and it is not clear exactly where Homeric Mysia was situated, although it was probably located somewhere between the Troad (to the northwest of Mysia) and Lydia/Maeonia (to its south).
There are a number of Mysian inscriptions in a dialect of the Phrygian language, in a variant of the Phrygian alphabet. There are also a small number of references to a Lutescan language indigenous to Mysia in Aeolic Greek sources.[2]

Ancient bridges[edit source | editbeta]

The remains of several Roman bridges can still be found:

Paleo-Balkan languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from Paleo Balkan languages)
Paleo-Balkan is a geolinguistic term referring to the Indo-European languages that were spoken in theBalkans in ancient times. Except for Greek and the language that developed into Albanian, they are all extinct,[1] due to HellenizationRomanizationSlavicization and Turkicization.

Classification[edit source | editbeta]

The following languages are reported to have been spoken on the Balkan Peninsula by Ancient Greek and Roman writers:
Although these languages are all members of the Indo-European language family, the relationships between them are unknown. Classification of the languages spoken in the region is severely hampered by the fact that they are all scantily attested. Furthermore, many of the individuals who have published studies on these languages have had strong patriotic or nationalistic interests, which compromises the scholarly value of their work.

Subgrouping hypotheses[edit source | editbeta]

Illyrian is a group of reputedly Indo-European languages whose relationship to other Indo-European languages as well as to the languages of the Paleo-Balkan group, many of which might be off-shoots of Illyrian, is poorly understood due to the paucity of data and is still being examined. The Illyrian languages are often considered to be Centum dialects.[2] Today, the main source of authoritative information about the Illyrian language consists of a handful of Illyrian words cited in classical sources, and numerous examples of Illyrian anthroponymsethnonymstoponyms andhydronyms.
A grouping of Illyrian with Messapian has been proposed for about a century, but remains an unproven hypothesis. The theory is based on classical sources, archaeology, as well as onomastic considerations. Messapian material culture bears a number of similarities to Illyrian material culture. Some Messapian anthroponyms have close Illyrian equivalents.
A grouping of Illyrian with Venetic and Liburnian, once spoken in northeastern Italy and Liburnia respectively, is also proposed. The consensus now is that Illyrian was quite distinct from Venetic and Liburnian,[3][4] however a close linguistic relation has not been ruled out and is still being investigated.
Another hypothesis would group Illyrian with Dacian and Thracian into a Thraco-Illyrian branch,[5] whereas a competing hypothesis would exclude Illyrian from a Daco-Thracian grouping in favor of Mysian.[6] The classification of Thracian itself is a matter of contention and uncertainty.
The place of Paeonian remains unclear.[7] Not much has been determined in the study of Paeonian, and some linguists do not recognize a Paeonian area separate from Illyrian or Thracian. The classification of Ancient Macedonian and its relationship to Greek are also under investigation, with solid sources pointing that Ancient Macedonian is in fact a variation of Doric Greek, but also the possibility of being only related through the local sprachbund.[8][9][10][11][12]
Phrygian, on the other hand, is considered to have been most likely closely related to Greek.[13][14]

Albanian[edit source | editbeta]

The Albanian language is considered by current linguistic consensus to have developed from one of the non-Greek, ancient Indo-European languages of the region, but attempts to connect it to a specific language have been fruitless (see Origin of the Albanians).[15]
