  Mygdonia (Europe) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mygdonia was an ancient territory, later conquered by Macedon, which comprised the plains around Therma (Thessalonica) together with the valleys of Klisali and Besikia, including the area of the Axios river mouth and extending as far east as Lake Bolbe.
The pass of Aulon or Arethusa was probably the boundary of Mygdonia towards Bisaltia.
The maritime part of Mygdonia formed a district called Amphaxitis, a distinction which first occurs in Polybius, who divides all the great plain at the head of the Thermaic gulf into Amphaxitis and Bottaiea, and which is found three centuries later in Ptolemy.

 Midas, Greek Mythology Link.
Midas is also called king of Mygdonia, the Mygdonians being originally a people from Thrace that emigrated to Phrygia, a country with uncertain boundaries.
Mygdonia is also called Lydia, the region in western Asia Minor between Caria and Mysia.
Something similar is asserted by Conon, who says that Midas, after being a disciple of Orpheus in Mount Pieria, let his people cross the Hellespont from Europe and settle beyond Mysia in Asia Minor.

The arrival of this hyaenid to Europe was a significant faunal event.
The marked seasonality which characterized temperate Europe for most of the Pleistocene, with cooler and drier conditions than those of tropical Africa, made the availability of large ungulate carcasses for scavenging a key resource for hominids to survive during the cool season (Turner, 1990, 1992).
The first evidence of this faunal dispersal is recorded at the Plio-Pleistocene transition (1.8-1.6 Ma) in Western Europe, within the Olivola and Tasso faunal units, and in Central Eurasia (Dmanisi), where exists a complete record of this dispersal event, including human remains and evidence of cultural activity.

We find that by this time the Macedonian monarchs of this line had made themselves masters of Pieria and Bottiaea, had crossed the Axius and conquered Mygdonia and Anthemus, had dislodged the original Eordi from Eordia and themselves occupied it, and had dealt similarly with the Alm6pes in Almopia, on the Rhaedias.

Upon this march the camels that carried the provisions of the army were set upon by lions, which left their lairs and came down by night, but spared the men and the sumpter-beasts, while they made the camels their prey.

In climate Macedonia is intermediate between Europe and the Mediterranean.
The original Macedonia was Pieria and Mt.Olympus, and from there the Macedonians acquired the coastal plain of the Thermaic Gulf, which has been formed by the rivers Haliacmon, Lydias, and Axius.
The Macedonian plain is vulnerable from the sea and from Mygdonia, but the defiles leading into Upper Macedonia are easily defensible.

Advancing from Doberus, the Thracian host first invaded what had been once Philip's government, and took Idomene by assault, Gortynia, Atalanta, and some other places by negotiation, these last coming over for love of Philip's son, Amyntas, then with Sitalces.
Laying siege to Europus, and failing to take it, he next advanced into the rest of Macedonia to the left of Pella and Cyrrhus, not proceeding beyond this into Bottiaea and Pieria, but staying to lay waste Mygdonia, Crestonia, and Anthemus.
The Macedonians never even thought of meeting him with infantry; but the Thracian host was, as opportunity offered, attacked by handfuls of their horse, which had been reinforced from their allies in the interior.

Written evidence and surviving crests from the sixteenth century proclaim Macedonia’s distinction from other Balkan territories.
When other Balkan states began to assert themselves against the Turks between the seventeenth and the twentieth centuries, similar feelings of nationalism were seen in Macedonia, and recognized by the leading powers of Europe.
During the twentieth century the Serbians, Bulgarians and Greeks tried to eliminate the influence of the Slavic Macedonian language, and to suppress the customs of Macedonian people in territories they conquered.
