Topic: Bithyni


  
 Bithyni
The Bithyni: A Thracian tribe who, along with the Thyni, migrated to Bithynia in Anatolia - a region which they gave their name to.
Herodotus, Xenophon and Strabo all repeat this folk etymology, with its division into 'twin' tribes named Thyni and bi-Thyni, which may simply be a Greek attempt to explain an ancient non-Greek placename that otherwise made no sense in Greek.

 BITHYNIA - LoveToKnow Article on BITHYNIA
The existence of a tribe called Thyni in Thrace is well attested, and the two cognate tribes of the Thyni and Bithyni appear to have settled simultaneously in the adjoining parts of A,sia, where they expelled or subdued the Mysians, Caucones, and other petty tribes, the Mariandyni alone maintaining themselves in,the northeast.
They were incorporated by Croesus with the Lydian monarchy, with which they fell under the dominion of Persia (546 n.e.), and were included in the satrapy of Phrygia, which comprised all the countries up to the Hellespont and Bospors.

 Golden Apples of Idun
This hypothesis then led me to consider that Odin was rooted also in the Bithynians (beside Phrygia and Lydia), as it seems to me a good theory that the Boudini were the same peoples as the Bithyni; if true, I haven't yet learned who stemmed from who).
The Thyni were Thracians living in Asia Minor, next to the Bithyni border, and were probably of Phrygian blood.
In Thrace, the Bithynians had lived along the Strymon river; the Satrae, Bessi, Paeoni, and Edonians were other Thracian tribes at that same river.

Farther, I get into confusion by not always remembering my own nomenclature, and have allowed 'Gentianoides' to remain, for No. 16, though I banish Gentian.
It will be far better to call this eastern mountain species 'Olympica': according to Sibthorpe's localization, "in summa parte, nive soluta, montis Olympi Bithyni," and the rather that Curtis's plate above referred to shows it in luxuriance to be liker an asphodel than a gentian.
I have also perhaps done wrong in considering Veronica polita and agrestis as only varieties, in No. 3.
