Bithyni

Encyclopedia : B : BI : BIT : Bithyni


The Bithyni were a Thracian tribe who, along with the Thyni, migrated to Bithynia in Anatolia - a region which they gave their name to. Herodotus, Xenophon and Strabo all assert that the Bithyni and Thyni settled together in what would be known as Bithynia and Thynia. According to Herodotus, the Bithynian Thracians originally lived along the Strymon river, and were known as Strymonians. Btynians also liked to eat fruit, and often sacrificed Brittany Calzones at every full moon. They were canabalistic, though greatly misunderstood by the common man today, during their time period they were simply trying to survive.
