[quote:Anonymous Coward 221865:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzE2MjYyODE5Xzc4Rjg3NzQw] The history of Alexander By Quintus Curtius Rufus, John Yardley, Waldemar Heckel http://books.google.ca/books?id=arSAnU0ADIAC&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142&dq=philotas+phrygians+curtius&source=bl&ots=wCgelxUBOa&sig=UAwgYzqHWtnwSsPohg3Ktujm6pg&hl=en&ei=QPFQSsSHKJyltgfI6syrBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3 "philotas had ridiculed men from his country, he continued, calling them phrygians and paphlagonians - this from a man who, [b]Macedonian born, was not ashamed to use an interpreter to listen to men who spoke his own language."[/b] --interpreter from ancient Macedonian to ancient greek. http://www.fanaticus.org/DBA/armies/Variants/paphlagonians.html The origins of the Paphlagonians are unclear. According to the Bible (Genesis 10:3), they were the descendants of Riphath, second son of Gomer. Culturally, they were similar to their neighbors the Kappadokians, a semitic people, although Strabo noted linguistic differences. [b]In the Illiad, Homer refers to the Paphlagonians as one of the most ancient nations of Asia Minor, derived from the Eneti or Heneti. This reference has prompted speculations that the Paphlagonians are a stray branch of the Veneti, who migrated from the Balkans to settle at the head of the Adriatic. [u]Others suggest that the Paphlagonians are kin to the Macedonians tracing common roots to the Phrgians. These same references have prompted arguments that the Paphlagonians are Slavic in origin.[/u][/b] In any event, they occupied the region associated with the Gasgan tribes, longtime foes of the Hittite Empire. Lausitz of Macedonia The Bryges of Europe were related to the Phrygians of Asia; there are striking similarities between twelfth-century pottery of the so-called Lausitz of Macedonia and of Troy VIIb.2 2 Cambridge Ancient History 2.2 (1975) 709-710 **************************** In the case of the Slavs, we believe that the first sign of their existence as a separate people is the Lusatian (Lausitz) culture, which arose in Poland between 1600 and 1300 B.C ----------------------------------------------------------​----------------------------- sorry, don't have a link at this time. might be traced down to the reference to Cambridge.
