Milesians
From Free net encyclopedia
There are two peoples referred to as Milesians:
- In Irish mythology, the Milesians were the descendants of Míl Espáine, the final invaders of Ireland who defeated and displaced the semi-divine Tuatha Dé Danann.
- In the history of Hellenic civilization, the Milesians were the people of Miletus, a city in the Anatolia province of modern-day Turkey, who formed their own maritime empire throughout Turkey and into the Crimea.
