Thracian Certain tribes and subdivisions of tribes were named differently by ancient writers but modern research points out that these were in fact the same tribe. The name
Thracians itself seems to be a Greek
exonym and we have no way of knowing what the Thracians called themselves. Also certain tribes mentioned by
Homer are not indeed historical. •
