The Oenotrians (the tribe of Oenotrus) were an ancient Italic people who settled a territory of remarkably large dimensions, including the region of Apulia, Basilicata and the northern part of the region of Calabria in southern Italy.
The Oenotrians arrived there at the beginning of the Iron Age (11th century BC) from Illyria through the Otranto Channel together with other people of the same ethnic group.
A possible derivation of the ethnonym "Oenotrian" would be the Greek "oinos" (wine), as the Oenotrians inhabited a territory rich in vinyards, with "Oenotria" being extended to refer to the entirety of Southern Italy

There seems no doubt that the Oenotrians were a Pelasgic race, akin to the population of Epirus and the adjoining tract on the E. of the Adriatic.
The relation of the Oenotrians to the other tribes of Italy, and their subjection by the Lucanians, a Sabellian race from the north, have been already given in the article ITALIA

The Oenotrians were an ancient Italic people who settled a territory of remarkably large dimensions, including the region of Basilicata and the northern part of the region of Calabria in southern Italy.
The Oenotrians arrived there at the beginning of the Iron Age (XI century BC) from Illyria through the Otranto Channel together with other people of the same ethnic group.

 Sicani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sicani are purported to have settled in Latium along the river Tiber, but were again driven from there by aboriginal groups, and headed to the south of Italy.
They remained there for a time, living alongside Oenotrians, but it appears that most of the Sicani later crossed into Sicily (then known as Trinacria).
They are said to have occupied the greater portion of Trinacria in ancient times, so that Trinacria became known as Sicania.

 Ekloges.com.cy: Politics - Book Seven - Parts X-XVII
The Italian historians say that there was a certain Italus, king of Oenotria, from whom the Oenotrians were called Italians, and who gave the name of Italy to the promontory of Europe lying within the Scylletic and Lametic Gulfs, which are distant from one another only half a day's journey.
They say that this Italus converted the Oenotrians from shepherds into husbandmen, and besides other laws which he gave them, was the founder of their common meals; even in our day some who are derived from him retain this institution and certain other laws of his.
From this part of the world originally came the institution of common tables; the separation into castes from Egypt, for the reign of Sesostris is of far greater antiquity than that of Minos.

In remote times, going back to the Bronze Age and dated between the 18th and 17th centuries B.C. there was the great maritime migration of the Arcadians from the Aegean towards Southern Italy.
