		Even the Sicani, Elymi, and Siculi, the first populations to leave traces of their cultures in Sicily (Sicilia), came from other parts of the Mediterranean.
		The Elymi probably arrived in Sicily (Sicilia) from the Eastern Mediterranean, and certainly had an early cultural similarity to those of the Phoenicians and Egyptians.
		The Elymi were followed by the Carthaginians and then by the Greeks, under whom Sicily (Sicilia) saw its first real period of great splendor.

	Sicilian Peoples: The Elymians - Best of Sicily Magazine - Elami, Elymi, Elimi, Elimi in Sicilia, Segesta, Eryx, ...
		By 1100 BC (BCE), the Elymians (or Elymi, Elimi or Elami, from the Greek Elymoi) had established several cities in northwestern Sicily, apparently displacing the Sicanians in these areas, though there is evidence of amalgamation.
		Except perhaps in Eryx (Erice), the Carthaginian cultural influence on the Elymo-Greeks seems to have been minimal, or perhaps minimized, over time as the Carthaginians were gradually reduced to a minor role in the central Mediterranean.
		The culture of the Phoenicians and their residual society in northern Africa (the Carthaginians) certainly influenced the Elymi, especially through trade, and their coastal outposts were not far away.

		The Sicilians of today are said to be a "mixed race" descended from early Sicilians (Sicani, Siculi, Elymi), and the peoples who subsequently conquered or colonized Sicily: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantine Greeks, Saracen Arabs, Normans, and to some extent Longobards, Goths, Angevin French, Aragonese and Spanish.
		Alternatively, both the Sicani and the Siculi may have been indigenous peoples whose art and culture were influenced by an influx of settlers from these other regions.
		The Elymi probably arrived in Sicily from the Eastern Mediterranean, and certainly had an early cultural affinity to the Phoenicians and Egyptians.

	Sicilian language
		It is currently spoken by the 5,000,000 inhabitants of Sicily, plus another 2,000,000 Sicilians around the world.
		Pre-historic Sicily was inhabited by at least three ancient tribes--the Elymi, the Sicani, and the Siceli, all of whom are genetically linked to North Africans and Celts.
		It is more then likely, that the North Africans reached the island by sailing the width of the Mediterranean south to north); the Celts, on the other hand, took the overland route.

		Such an understanding would enlighten models of the evolution of virulence, which often assume that the transmission mode is directly linked to traits of the parasite.
		The plant/fungus interaction, Elymus hystrix infected with the endophyte Epichloë elymi, exhibits both vertical and horizontal transmission and thus provides an ideal system to explore the relationship between virulence and transmission mode.
		In a common garden, we detected significant variation in horizontal transmission potential across eight maternal half-sib lines of infected plants and this variation was consistent across years.

		The host, Elymus hystrix, is a woodland grass that is commonly parasitised by the endophytic fungus, Epichloë elymi.
		This parasite is transmitted vertically, through the host's seeds, and horizontally, via sexual spores produced by a host castrating fungal stroma.

		After the taking of Ilium certain Trojans, escaping the hands of the Grecians, landed with small boats in Sicily: and having planted themselves on the borders of the Sicanians, both the nations in one were called Elymi; and their cities were Eryx and Egesta1.
		Also the Phœnicians inhabited the coast of Sicily on all sides, having taken possession of certain promontories1 and little islands adjacent, for trade’s sake with the Sicilians.
		But after that many Grecians were come in by sea, the Phœnicians abandoned most of their former habitations: and uniting themselves dwelt in Motya and Soloeis and Panormus2, upon the borders of the Elymi; as relying upon their league with the Elymi, and because also from thence lay the shortest cut over unto Carthage.
