Aeolians
Encyclopedia Article
Aeolians, one of the three great divisions of the Hellenic stock, tracing their descent from Aeolus. Originally settled in Thessaly (Thessalia), they founded numerous colonies in other parts of Greece. In the 11th century bc many of them immigrated to the island of Lésvos in the Aegean Sea; they also founded cities on the west coast of Asia Minor, between the Dardanelles and the Hermus River. This region became known as Aeolis. The Aeolic dialect is generally recognized as the oldest form of Hellenic speech. See Greece; Greek Language.
