Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

WHENCE CAME <strong>THE</strong> ACHEAXS ? 357<br />
the Aborigines of central Italy, were but similar waves of<br />
hardy warriors from the north. Under the guidance of a steer<br />
(vituiics) some of these tribes advanced into the very toe of<br />
Italy, finally crossed the Strait and conquered or drove back the<br />
Iberic population into the western parts of the island. Recent<br />
excavations in the district of Syracuse have amply confirmed<br />
the truth of this tradition, for besides the early remains of the<br />
same character as those found over the Ac^gean area (pp. 69<br />
70), Dr Orsi has brought to light a series of cemeteries, which<br />
he has with great justice ascribed to the Sicels who subdued<br />
the earlier Iberic Sicani.<br />
Later Italian history<br />
is a continual record of the gradual<br />
overthrow of the Greek cities of the south <strong>by</strong> the constant<br />
advances of the Lucanians, who were one of the Umbro-Latin<br />
tribes.<br />
The hill valleys of the Apennines<br />
were a fit cradle for a<br />
hardy race, and from these periodically bands of young warriors<br />
sallied forth to carve out new possessions with their swords.<br />
All are familiar with the ver '.sacruiii of the Sanmites, who<br />
wiien the population<br />
had grown too great to be maintained in<br />
the old home sent forth all the youths born in some particular<br />
yeai-.<br />
These bands fell<br />
upon the feeble peoples<br />
of the rich<br />
plain lands, and thus we find these Samnites establisht'd in<br />
Campania,<br />
whilst the Mamertines of Mes.sana are a notable<br />
exam|)le of one of these ])ands of Samnite wai-i-i(^rs, who,<br />
dedicated to the war-god Mamei's, found their way even into<br />
Sicily.<br />
