The Thracians
Thrace, a region situated in Southeast Europe, holds significant geographical and historical importance. It is demarcated by the Balkan Mountains in the north, the Aegean Sea in the south, and the Black Sea in the east. Presently, Thrace encompasses southeastern Bulgaria (known as Northern Thrace), northeastern Greece (referred to as Western Thrace), and the European portion of Turkey (known as East Thrace). This region roughly corresponds to the ancient Roman Province of Thrace. Furthermore, the lands once inhabited by the ancient Thracians extended northwards to encompass modern-day Northern Bulgaria and Romania, and westwards into Macedonia. The term "Thrace" originates from the ancient Greek word "Thrake" and initially denoted the Thracians, an ancient population residing in Southeast Europe. The term "Europe," derived from the ancient Greek word "Εὐρώπη," also initially referred to this particular region before its meaning expanded to encompass its contemporary definition. The designation of the region may have been influenced by the principal river in the area, Hebros, which could potentially derive from the Indo-European term "arg," signifying a "white river" (in contrast to the Vardar River, meaning a "black river"). Alternatively, according to an alternative hypothesis, Hebros may have originated from the Thracian word for "goat."
