Description |
English: This lovely little map of Thessaly, just south of Macedonia in Ancient Greece, was prepared by M. Barbie de Bocage in 1786 for the “Travels of Anarcharsis”. Taken from the early D’Anville map. Thessaly is the legendary seat of Phthiotis, home of Achilles and his Myrmidons, who were so prominently featured in the Illiad. Achilles’s father King Peleus, ruled this region. There is also a curious theory that the people of Thessaly were blond, drawn from Homer’s reference to Achillies. |
