 Mysi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This identification may be supported by the fact that only Mysians, Carians, and Lydians were allowed to worship at the temple of Carian Zeus in the country of the Mylasians (1.171), based on the tradition that the eponymous figures Car (Carians), Lydus (Lydians), and Mysus (Mysians) were brothers (1.171).
A passage in Athenaeus suggests that Mysian was akin to the barely attested Paionian language of Paionia, north of Macedon.
According to Homer, the Mysians fought in the Trojan War on the side of Troy (Iliad, 2.858).

 Mysia: Center of the World
Mysians are the possessors of a long tradition history, and theirs is one of the most ancient kingdoms in all of Ageratos.
Red Mysians have a similar stature, but they have a tendency towards more wide-hipped, wide-shouldered frames as opposed to slender ones, and their hair is typically bronze-red in color.
It is common among Mysian soldiers to sing on the march and on the eve of battle, though in the heat of it they are deadly silent.

Ancient writers agree in describing the Mysians as a distinct people, like the Lydians and Phrygians, though they never appear in history as an independent nation.
Bithynia), and were a branch of the same people as the Mysians or Moesians (see MoESiA) who dwelt on the Danube - a view not inconsistent with the preceding, as he considered the Phrygians and Lydians also as having migrated from Europe into Asia.
The Mysians appear in the list of the Trojan allies in Homer and are represented as settled in the Calms valley at the coming of Telephus to Pergamum; but nothing else is known of their early history.

 Chapter Ten
While they made their initial approach, they were hailed by a group of Mysian warriors who had been appointed by their king, Telephos, to watch the coast and to question all those who landed in Mysia as to what nation they came from and what business they had in the kingdom.
The Mysian coast guard was also supposed to prevent anyone from landing until this information had been conveyed to their king and his approval for the landing granted.
The few Mysian warriors who escaped the massacre brought the news back to Telephos that a large group of heavily armed men had landed on his shores and slaughtered his soldiers.

 The Storehouse of All Knowledge (Works in Progress and such)
Mysian men shun jewelry, considering it a feminizing thing to wear, while Mysian women enjoy wearing jewels of tasteful nature; they should not be too large or too small, nor should they be set in gaudy settings.
Mysian men are expected to follow in the footsteps of their fathers, and to pass on their occupation to their children.
Their builds are less slender than Mysians (though similar to the northerly Red Mysians), for their men have a tendency to be stout and strong, while their women are voluptuous or plump.

 Appian's History of Rome: The Illyrian Wars
, advanced against the Mysians and arrived at the river where six Greek cities lie adjacent to the Mysian territory, namely, Istrus, Dionysopolis, Odessus, Mesembria, Catalis, and Apollonia; from which he brought to Rome the great statue of Apollo which was afterward set up on the Palatine Hill.
Those countries that the emperors themselves pacified after Egypt was taken, or annexed as their own work, will be mentioned after the affairs of the commonwealth.
For the present, since the Romans consider the Mysians a part of Illyria and this is my Illyrian history, in order that it may be complete it seems proper to premise that Lucullus invaded Mysia as a general of the republic and that Tiberius took it in the time of the empire.

Likewise it is destined for Polyphemus to found a glorious city at the mouth of Cius among the Mysians and to fill up the measure of his fate in the vast land of the Chalybes.
But of those two, by the counsel of Zeus, one, Polyphemus son of Eilatus, was destined to found and build a city among the Mysians bearing the river's name, and the other, Heracles, to return and toil at the labours of Eurystheus.
And he threatened to lay waste the Mysian land at once, should they not discover for him the doom of Hylas, whether living or dead.

 Bithynia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The most important mountain range is the (so-called) "Mysian" Olympus (7600 ft., 2300 m), which towers above Brusa and is clearly visible as far away as Istanbul (70 miles, 113 km).
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 Asia, where they expelled or subdued the Mysians, Caucones, and other Minor tribes, the Mariandyni alone maintaining themselves in the northeast.
Herodotus mentions the Thyni and Bithyni as existing side by side; but ultimately the latter must have become the more important, as they gave their name to the country.

The Mysians (Moesians) were yet another Thracian nation whose settlements filled the area between the Danube and Stara Planina (Mount Haemus), as well as Bithynia, on the east side of the Bosphorus, and the Aegean fringe of Asia Minor.
On the ethnicity of the Mysians Strabo is quite explicit.
From a letter which he wrote in the year 1325 or 1326, describing his trip through Macedonia, we learn that the majority of the local people were “from the very beginning, Mysian settlers who lived intermingled with our own people” [32].

 The Looming Power of Pisa
The apparent contradiction wherein Lydians derived from Meonians and Mysians can be explained in that both are true, yet I would suggest that neither were innately ancestral as were the Laz.
As there is some discussion as to whether Meonians and Mysians were in fact proto-Lydians, one could entertain either Meonians or Mysians as having been (the mythical) Laz's husband: the Nergal lion (= god of the Cutha).
What would be most ironic if indeed the Mysians were the Nergal lion is that the lion would depict the Gogi -- in that Mysians will prove to be the Biblical Gog -- while Illuminatists have been declaring for a long time, and especially today, that they are of the lion of Judah.

 The Bij, the Bad Bulls, and the Bolgy
The well-known fact that the Salians lived on the sea shore is good reason to entertain "Merovee" as meaning Sea Boi, or even Sea-Ubii since Franks were related to the Ubii peoples on the Rhine river.
Mysians became the "Abii," whom (Homer said) were Sarmations (and therefore Alans).
Update July 2006 -- Mysians were proto-Lydians, meaning that Mysians, and therefore the Abii, were of the Pelops golden-fleece line and/or the Leda-Lydian swan line.

[29] The remaining peoples, who are considered by the Romans to be parts of Illyria, are the Rhætians and the Noricans, on this side of Pannonia, and the Mysians on the other side as far as the Euxine Sea.
I think that the Rhætians and Noricans were subdued by Gaius Cæsar during the Gallic war or by Augustus during the Pannonian war, as they lie between the two.
I have found no mention of any war against them separately, whence I infer that they were conquered along with other neighboring tribes.

 The Khazar Origin of Ashkenazim, Descendents of Magog.
In defining the origins of the Ashkenazim, Alan Brook states that "The geographic location of the Ashkenaz, based on references in the Torah, may be centered around southern Russia, Armenia, and Asia Minor.
The ashkaenoi (askae or askai) were the people also known as Phrygians or Mysians (Meshech)." Some historians claim that the name Ashkenaz applies exclusively to German Jews.
However, more recent evidence shows that they had immigrated from the southern regions of Russia and western Asia and Asia Minor -- that region clearly identified as the location and origin of the ancient Khazars.
