		Lemnian women are one of many female groups who lived a man’s daily life, yet stayed separated from men.

		The Lemnian women were fearful of war against men, and the Amazons could not prevent their sexual desires.

		Eunapius and Synesius call him a Lemnian; Photius a Tyrian; his letters refer to him as an Athenian.

		culties are rendered insuperable by the fact that the second Philostratus, in his Lives of the Sophists, though he speaks of an Egyptian and a Lemnian Philostratus, does not give the remotest hint that his father had ever practised his own art.
		With regard to the third Philostratus, he repeatedly names a Lemnian of that name, whose intimate friend he was.
		He received exemption from public duties at the hands of Cara-calla, whom Philostratus calls Antoninus, the son of Julia, ttjs <£iAo0"o$ou, — an exemption generally attached to the rhetorical chair of Athens, but, on this occasion, withheld from Philiscus, the professor, and bestowed on Philostratus.

	Etruscan language - Free net encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It is long ago been disproven that Etruscan can possibly be on its own a member of the Indo-European branch of Anatolian languages because of the discovery of the Lemnian language, which backs up Herodotus' ancient account of an eastern origin of the Etruscans and their language.
		Etruscan was spoken in north-west and west-central Italy, in the region that even now bears their name: Tuscany, and in the Po valley to the north of Etruria.
		Like Lemnian, it bears similarities in vocabulary and grammar to Etruscan and is likely to be part of the same family.

		The Lemnian version is due to the prominence of his cult at Lemnos in very early times; and his fall into the sea may have been suggested by volcanic activity in Mediterranean islands, as at Lipara and Thera.
		A town in the island was called Hephaestia, and the functions of the god must have been wide, as we are told that his Lemnian priests could cure snakebites.

		Among the parties mentioned is Nicagoras, of whom he expressly says, that he is herald in the Eleusinian rites (Kayser has r7, not on the best authority).
		If so we must add another to the Philostrati, and suppose that the Lemnian married the biographer's daughter, and that this writer was the issue of the marriage.
		But the truth is, that although this work is not destitute of merit, it has very much the appearance of a clever imitation by a later sophist, who found Philostratus a convenient name.

		Its colour was clearly red since it was referred by some as "Lemnia miltos" but differed from this in not leaving a stain when handled (Galen in Brock 1929, 192).
		Galen was so convinced of its effectivenessthat he reports enthusiastically "I had no hesitation myself in testing the medicine, and I took away (back to Rome) twenty thousands seals".

		It is taken as a given by contemporary scholarship that the "intercourse" demanded by the Lemnian women was of a sexual rather than, say, of a commercial nature.
		The alleged kinship of the Lemnian immigrants with the Greeks need not be taken literally as the ancients made frequent and effective use of fictional biological (and national) relationships to build trust or commercium among strangers (Silver 1995: 50-4).
		The area in which the Lemnians are supposed to have settled is not very distant from Pylos, whose Mycenaean texts record the employment of Lemnian women.

		And when the Argonauts would have stories told, the Lemnian maidens would forbid any tale that was about a god or a hero; only stories that were about the goddesses or about some maiden would they let be told.
		Orpheus, who knew the histories of the gods, would have told them many stories, but the only story of his that they would come from the dance to listen to was a story of the goddesses, of Demeter and her daughter Persephone.
