	Bessi - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Bessi were an independent Thracian tribe who lived in a territory ranging from Moesia to Mount Rhodope in southern Thrace, but are often mentioned as dwelling about Haemus, the mountain range that separates Moesia from Thrace.
		Herodotus described them as a sort of priestly-caste among the Satrae, the Bessi being interpreters of the prophetic utterances given by a priestess in an oracular shrine of Dionysus located on a mountain-top, which is thought to be Perperikon.
		In Strabo, however, the Bessi are described as the fiercest of the independent Thracian tribes, dwelling on and around the Haemus range, and possessing the greater part of the area around that mountain chain.

		Some of them lived on the coast, and they went along with their ships, while the inland tribes from this list of mine were all forcibly conscripted into the land army--all except the Satrae, that is.
		The Satrae have never been subject to anyone, as far as we know; they are the only tribe in Thrace to have retained independence all the way up to my day.
		The pronouncements at this shrine are interpreted by the Bessians, a sub-tribe within the Satrae, and as at Delphi it is a prophetess who is the mouthpiece, and her utterances are no more elaborate than those of her counterpart at Delphi.

	The Goats of Hermes Were Goths
		Indeed, among the Bessi were a Dionysus-worshipping peoples called "Satrae," who were obviously the Satan-important peoples depicted by the Satyr creatures of Greek myth, one of which was Pan, son of Hermes.
		Moreover, as the Satrae branch of Thracians lived between the Nestus/Nestos and Strymon rivers, Pan probably depicted the Paeoni(ans) of the Strymon.
		Because Dryalus was depicted in war with a pine tree for a spear, he and all other Centaurs are revealed as descendants of Attis, for the symbol of Attis was the pine tree.

	History of Herodotus by Herodotus
		Some of these dwelt by the sea, and furnished ships to the king's fleet; while others lived in the more inland parts, and of these all the tribes which I have mentioned, except the Satrae, were forced to serve on foot.
		The Satrae, so far as our knowledge goes, have never yet been brought under by any one, but continue to this day a free and unconquered people, unlike the other Thracians.
		Xerxes then marched through the country of the Paeonian tribes- the Doberians and the Paeoplae- which lay to the north of Pangaeum, and, advancing westward, reached the river Strymon and the city Eion, whereof Boges, of whom I spoke a short time ago, and who was then still alive, was governor.

		Like the oracle at Acharaca, its function was limited to the cure of the sick, and its mode of operation was by dreams interpreted by an inspired prophet (Pausan.
		Another oracle of Dionysus was at Satrae in Thrace, and the prophets were called Bessi (Herod.
		The oracles, however, were given by a prophetess, as at Delphi, and are not more recondite, says Herodotus.

	Thracian Tribes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Out of the twenty or so Thracian tribes and clans (by Strabo’s count), a high proportion (eight, including all of the largest) are described as the best warriors.
		The ancients were hard put to it to decide which of the Thracian tribes was the most valiant: the Getae, Odomanti, Thyni, Dii, Bessi, Bisaltae, and Satrae, Moesians, or Odrysae.
		For instance, in the Illiad Chapter 2 "Euphemes arrayed the Ciconians, men of the spear,…Pryaechmes led Paeonians, armed with the bow…" Mountain tribes were likely to have fiercer infantry than plains tribes.

		Stay to the right in the "fork inthe road" and go North on Rosemead Ave until you hit "Rush" street.
		Go straight about a 1/2mile and look closely on the left for a street called "Satrae" or somethinglike that.
		Make a left on "satrae" (or whatever it's called) and look to your right for a big fl gate....that's Autodynamic.

		213) is of opinion that these people were identical with the Satrae and closely connected with the Bessi, or priests of the oracular temple of the Thracian Bacchus on Mt.
		The coinage here assigned to Lete closely resembles in style, fabric, and weight the money of the Orrescii and the other Pangaean tribes, and illustrates in a remarkable manner the cult of the mountain Bacchus with his following of Satyrs, Centaurs, and Nymphs, which was characteristic of the country of the Satrae (Herod.
		During these Bacchic festivals, for which coins would be required, rude and primitive dramatic performances may account for the obscenity of the types.
