    The Aeolians lang el were one of the four major ancient Greeks Greek tribes comprising Ancient Greeks .

The Ancient Greek dialects dialect of ancient Greek they spoke is referred to as Aeolic Greek Aeolic . Originating in Thessaly , a part of which was called Aeolis, the Aeolians often appear as the most numerous amongst the other Hellenic tribes of early times. The Boeotians, a subgroup of the Aeolians, were driven from Thessaly by the Thessalians and moved their location to Boeotia . Aeolian peoples were spread in many other parts of Greece such as Aetolia , Locris , Ancient Corinth Corinth , Elis and Messenia . During the Dorian invasion , Aeolians from Thessaly fled across the Aegean Sea to the island of Lesbos Island Lesbos and the region of Aeolis , called as such after them, in Anatolia Asia Minor . According to Herodotus the Aeolians were originally Pelasgians . In book seven 7.95 of The Histories Herodotus states The Aeolians also, as the Greeks suppose, originally a Pelasgian people contributed 60. Their equipment was Greek.

  1. Aenus (Thrace)

    Aenus lang el , modern Enez in Turkey , was an ancient Greek city on the southeastern coast of Thrace . Formerly called Poltyobria or Poltymbria , it was located near the mouth of the Maritsa Hebrus River , not far from the Melas Gulf modern Gulf of Saros , which is formed by the Thracian Chersonesus to the east. The city was said to be founded or at least settled by Aeolians Aeolian migrants from Lesbos Island Lesbos . Aenus is mentioned by several ancient authors e.g., Homer, Strabo, Apollodorus, Thucydides , and makes several appearances in Greek mythology . Its mythical and eponymous founder was said to be Aeneus of Aenus Aeneus , a son of the god Apollo and father of Cyzicus Greek mythology Cyzicus . Another mythical ruler, named Poltys , son of Poseidon , entertained Heracles when he came to Aenus. On that occasion, Heracles slew Poltys insolent brother Sarpedon on the beach of Aenus. According to Strabo, Sarpedon is the name of the coastline near Aenus, so both Poltys and Sarpedon would appear to be eponyms. In the Iliad , Homer mentions that the leaders of Troy s Thracians Thracian allies, Acamas and Peiros , came from Aenus. In the late middle ages Ainos became the site of a castle of the Gattelusi, the Genoese family that ruled much of the northern Aegean while nominally subject to the Byzantine empire.

  1. Ionia (satrapy)

    Yauna The old Persian name for the Greeks , derived from Ionians Iones , the name of the Greeks living along the coasts of Asia Minor or Ionia , was a satrap y of the Achaemenid Empire . The first mention of the Yauna is at the Behistun inscription . The Ionians were conquered by Cyrus the Great and according to Herodotus , they were placed in the same tax district the first as the Pamphylians , Lycians , Magnesians , Aeolians , Milyans , and Carians . The Yauna benefitted from Persian occupation as the eastern Mediterranean was ruled by one king, which made trade easier. Thus, poverty could not be an explanation for the great Ionian Revolt in 499, which took six years to subdue. To prevent further insurrection propagated by the Greek city states , especially Athens , Darius the Great set out to create a cordon sanitaire . His generals captured the Aegean islands in this venture, a move also designed to prepare the ground for moving against the Greek mainland itself. After the Persian defeat in the Persian Wars and the conclusion of the peace of Callias in 449 BC, the Ionian cities were set free from Persian rule, albeit they soon came under the domination of Athens . After the Peloponnesian War and the destruction of Athenian power, Sparta ceded them back to Persia in the peace of Antalcidas . Ionia remained under Persian rule until the campaigns of Alexander the Great . Beside to Yaunas Ionia of the plain and sea , there are also mentioned Yauna paradraya Ionians beyond or across the sea such as Naxos , Thasos and Byzantium as well the Yauna takabara Ionians with sunhats, the Macedonians in Skudra satrapy.

  1. Elaea (Aeolis)

    Elaea or Elaia Greek language Greek Polytonic was an ancient city of Aeolis , Asia Roman province Asia , the port of Pergamum the site is not precisely determined but is near Zeytinda , zmir Province , Turkey . According to the present text of Stephanus of Byzantium , it was also called Cidaenis Greek , and was founded by Menestheus but it seems likely that there is some error in the reading Cidaenis. ref Meineke ad Steph. B. s. v. ref Strabo places Elaea south of the river Caicus , 12 stadia from the river, and 120 stadia from Pergamum. The Caicus enters a bay, which was called Elaiticus Sinus , or the bay of Elaea. Strabo calls the bay of Elaea part of the bay of Adramyttium , but incorrectly. He has the story, which Stephanus has taken from him, that Elaea was a settlement made by Menestheus and the Athens Athenians with him, who joined the war against Troy but Strabo does not explain how it could be an Aeolians Aeolian city, if this story was true. Elaea minted coins, which bear the head and name of Menestheus. Some argue that these are some evidence of its Athenian origin but others, including William Smith lexicographer William Smith discount the connection. Herodotus i. 149 does not name Elaea among the Aeolian cities. Strabo makes the bay of Elaea terminate on one side in a point called Hydra, and on the other in a promontory Harmatus and he estimates the width between these points at 80 stadia. Thucydides viii. 101 places Harmatus opposite to Methymna, from which, and the rest of the narrative, it is clear that he fixes Harmatus in a different place from Strabo. The exact site of Elaea seems to be uncertain. William Martin Leake , in his map, fixes it at a place marked Kliseli, on the road from the south to Pergamum. Scylax p. 35 , Pomponius Mela i. 18 , Pliny the Elder Pliny v. 32 , and Ptolemy v. 2 , all of whom mention Elaea, do not help us to the precise place all we learn from them is, that the Caicus flowed between Pitane and Elaea.
