Talk:Thessaly

message: I had always assumed that Thessaly was transferred to Greece by the Ottomans under the pressure that the small Greek Kingdom needed fertile plains to grow food. Is Thessaly a fertile plain (well suited to support agriculture)? Or did the Kingdom already have adequate fertile plains in the Peloponnese (I understand that Greece is 80% mountains)? --Nikoz78 (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Distinction between the periphery and historical Thessaly

message: The source says that they were firmly established in Thessaly and not that they simply invaded the area or that their settlements are related to any kind of invasions.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 23:26, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your edit misquoted the source to imply like *all* of Thessaly was taken over by the Belegezites, which of course fits your agenda but distorts what the source says. Btw, are you going to create articles about the Slavic tribes that settled Albania and Kosovo too, or just Greece? Athenean (talk) 23:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There was the tribe of the Baiunites, which settled the region from Dropull in Albania to Arta in Greece. The source says that they were firmly established in Thessaly, so stick to it and please don't relate it to prior invasions, which you haven't sourced or connected to the Belegezites.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 23:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't suppose their settlements appeared out of thin air, do you? Of course they invaded. And I'm talking about Albania and Kosovo, not Epirus. Athenean (talk) 23:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am talking about Albania too since the Baiounites also settled the Dropull area, while only a small part of northern Kosovo was settled by Slavic tribes during the migrations period(eastern and central came under Slavic control in the 9-10th century, while western Kosovo in 1198). The Belegezites invaded and were firmly established in the region of Thessaly in the 7th century.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 23:56, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, the Slavs settled everywhere in the Balkans except Albania and Kosovo, which are "pure" Illyrian to this day. I can't believe I'm actually having this conversation. For the last time, your source doesn't say "settled", with all the connotation that that implies. "Firmly established" can just mean from a military point of view, i.e. they were firmly established militarily. After all, the source strictly talks about military events. I know why you are so intent on "settled", I mean this edit says it all , trying to misuse the source to imply that *all* of Thessaly was settled and the natives wiped out. Well, it won't happen, not here. I've had enough of this agenda-based editing, and further misuse of sources will be reported. Athenean (talk) 01:47, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Coming under Slavic control means that Kosovo was settled by Slavs. Btw I'm not implying that any natives were wiped out, but the source doesn't mention any natives.--— ZjarriRrethues — talk 07:07, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think the names are that similar. That said, I am Greek, so it wouldn't happen either way. If you find that you yourself  might confuse them or know of cases where this has happened, then a tag is warranted. Constantine   ✍  11:35, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, better not. I searched online and found nothing about distinguishing between the two. I guess it was just me! Ssredg (talk) 07:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

message: What do Thessaly's inhabitants call themselves? Krychek (talk) 18:25, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thessalians in English, Θεσσαλοί, Thessaloi in Greek. Θετταλοί, Thettaloi would be the ancient form (they were the tribe who gave their name to the entire region), but it would be extremely archaic if used today, and probably unknown to most people... --Constantine   ✍  19:30, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
