Talk:Magnesia

Pre-Greek place name
It says: ''Magnesia, deriving from the Macedonian tribe name Magnetes, is the name of the southeastern area of Thessaly in central Greece. Magnesia was also the name of two cities in ancient Lydia (modern Turkey) founded by Greek Magnesians. One of them, Magnesia ad Sipylum is famous as the site of the Battle of Magnesia. Its ruins lie close to present day Manisa. The other was Magnesia ad Maeandrum which lay within Ionia, but because it had been settled by Aeolians from Magnesia of Greece, was not accepted into the Ionian League.''

but in fact, Magnesia was a Pre-Greek place name... Magnesia ad Sipylum & Magnesia ad Maeandrum were NOT founded by Greek Magnesians! Böri (talk) 10:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
