		The population of Segesta was mixed Elymian and Ionian Greek, though the Elymians soon Hellenized and took on external characteristics of Greek life.
		The city was not punished by the Romans for its long alliance with Carthage, but owing to the mythical common origin of the Romans and the Elymians (both descendants of refugees from Troy) it was granted the state of a "free and immune" city.

		Strangely enough, it was built by the Elymians (or Elami or Elimi or Elymi), with assistance from some colonizing Greeks themselves.
		The Elymians were apparently less numerous and their dominions less widespread than the better-known Sicani (Sicily's earliest civilization) and Sicels (an Italic people of eastern Sicily), Sicily's other two native (pre-Greek) peoples.
		The most logical conclusion that can be drawn from all the available evidence is that the Elymians were a people of eastern Mediterranean origin who rapidly amalgamated with at least some of their indigenous neighbors.

		Based on the fact that the roof is missing, many scholars have suggested that the construction of the temple was interrupted in 409 BC.
		Others instead believe that, since Segesta was a rich city, the roof was voluntarily left out, and the temple used as an open-air enclosure devoted to Elymian rites, with a view to bestowing nobility to it in accordance with the Doric style of Greek temples.
		It seems likely that, during one of the rare periods of reduced political and military tension between Segesta and Selinunte, the Segestans might have turned to the renowned workmanship of Selinuntine architects to give their main Elymian sacred building the monumental appearance of a Greek temple.

		First of all, Selinous may have been founded partially over indigenous settlement(s), and the question of whether relations were as friendly as at Megara Hyblaia is gravely tainted by the contemporary destruction of native settlements nearby.
		After its initial settlement, Selinous seems to have expanded rapidly to fill its territory to the point where it was bounded by a different culture on every side: Phoenicians to the west, Greeks to the east, and Elymians and other native peoples to the north.
