ΚΑΤΩ Η ΣΥΓΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΔΟΤΩΝ!!!

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.”

INHUMATION, CREMATION, AND <strong>THE</strong> SOUL. 547<br />

The peoples who speak languages cognate to Sanskrit and<br />

Lithuanian occupy almost all Europe, whilst in Asia they form a<br />

small isolated patch in the midst of vast populations, who speak<br />

languages essentially different. Is it not more probable that<br />

the small body is a fragment which has got isolated from the<br />

larger than the converse ?<br />

This question, long ignored, has never been answered. The<br />

modern writers have added further arguments, some bad*, others<br />

good. But there is now a general feeling that the Jndo-lranian<br />

branch passed from Europe into Asia.<br />

In our last chapter we showed that from time to time, as far<br />

back as history goes, tribes from Europe had constantly passed<br />

into Asia. Thus the Armenians (p. 396) were a branch of the<br />

Phrygians, a Thracian tribe which had crossed into Asia Minor.<br />

The Gauls passed <strong>by</strong> the same route and had made all Asia<br />

Minor their tributary. Before them the Cimmerians had made<br />

similar irruptions into Asia, and the same people had occupied<br />

southern Russia at least as early as the eighth century<br />

B.C.<br />

The Scythians who had forced the Cimmerians from their<br />

homes at a later date made their way into Afghanistan and<br />

north India. But Alexander's expedition to India demonstrates<br />

how readily a people from the upper Balkan could make their<br />

way into the heart of Asia. Thei'e is therefore no reason why<br />

a people from Euro])e should not at a still eai'lier (kite than<br />

the Cimmerians have passed fi'om the Danube valley across<br />

south Russia and <strong>by</strong> the great trade-route ()). 404) right up<br />
