Diodorus Siculus
Diodorus Siculus (Greek: ), was a Greek historian who lived in the 1st century BC. According to Diodorus' own work, he was born at Agyrium in Sicily (now called Agira). With one exception, antiquity affords no further information about Diodorus' life and doings beyond what is to be found in his own work, Bibliotheca historica. Only Jerome, in his Chronicon under the year of Abraham 1968 (49 BC), writes, "Diodorus of Sicily, a writer of Greek history, became illustrious". His English translator, Charles Henry Oldfather, remarks on the "striking coincidence" that one of only two known Greek inscriptions from Agyrium (I.G. XIV, 588) is the tombstone of one "Diodorus, the son of Apollonius".

Dromichaetes
Dromichaetes (Ancient Greek, "Δρομιχαίτης") was ruler of the Getae on both sides of the lower Danube (present day Romania and Bulgaria) around 300 BC. His capital was named Helis and Romanian historians traditionally located it somewhere in the Romanian Plain (in Wallachia). However, the discovery of the Thracian tomb at Sveshtari (1982) in the western Ludogorie in Bulgaria suggested that Helis was located perhaps in its vicinity, where remains of a large ancient city are found along with dozens of other Thracian mound tombs.

As one of the Seven churches of Asia, it was addressed by the author of the Book of Revelation in terms which seem to imply that its population was notoriously soft and fainthearted. Its importance was due, first to its military strength, secondly to its situation on an important highway leading from the interior to the Aegean coast, and thirdly to its commanding the wide and fertile plain of the Hermus.

Images from York Youth Theatre's production of Shakespeare's "Pericles" which ran in the Theatre Royal's main house from the sixteenth to the eighteenth of May 2009. Anyone even passingly familiar with this play knows that plot summaries are futile. Kings commit incest, princes travel, citizens starve, fishermen assist, knights battle, wives die, sorcerers cast spells, wives spring back to life, assassins fail, pirates kidnap and prostitutes rejoice... Here are storms and shipwrecks, temples and brothels, swordfights and necromancy, ghostly voices and fires from heaven. In short, a great entertainment and another triumph for York Youth Theatre!

Bulgaria - Kaliakra - Vacaciones Bulgaria
Probablemente, la leyenda más popular sobre el lugar es el búlgaro cerca de 40 niñas, que prefirió atar su cabello saltar juntos y en el Mar Negro, en lugar de la perspectiva de ser capturados por los otomanos. Un obelisco dedicado a esta leyenda se coloca en la entrada de la capa, llamada La Puerta de las 40 doncellas. Otra leyenda cuenta la historia de San Nicolás, patrono de los marineros, que estaba huyendo de los otomanos y que Dios está haciendo en la tierra en virtud de él durante mucho tiempo, por lo que podría escapar, y la capa se formó de esta manera. El santo fue finalmente capturado y se construyó una capilla en 1993, simbolizando su tumba. Un derviche monasterio también se dice que han existido en el mismo lugar durante el dominio otomano, que se cree que han preservado las reliquias del santo musulmán bektashi Sari Saltık. Una tercera leyenda es acerca de Lysimachus, un sucesor de Alejandro Magno, quien se apoderó del tesoro real y escapó a Kaliakra, muriendo en una gran tormenta a lo largo de toda su flota.

Bryan Adrian in Bergama (ancient Pergamum), 100 km (62 miles) north of Izmir and 250 km (155 miles) south of Çanakkale, was renowned in Hellenic and Roman times for its great library and as the medical center where Galen laid the foundation for medical practice. Pergamum (or Pergamon) was an important kingdom during the second century BC, having grown from a city-state captured by Alexander the Great. Upon Alexander's death in 323 BC, his generals fought for control of the parts of his empire. Lysimachus took command of the Aegean coast, but was killed in 281 BC, leaving Pergamum in the control of Philetarus the Eunuch, who used Lysimachus's treasure to increase his power. Philetarus's nephew and heirs built on their inheritance, and Eumenes II (197-159 BC), King of Pergamum, became the most powerful ruler in Anatolia. He beautified his capital city by building the Altar of Zeus, by constructing numerous buildings in the "middle city" on the slope of the Acropolis, and by expanding and beautifying the Asclepion medical center. More... Eumenes II's son Attalus III was not his father's equal. Pergamum's power declined, and on Attalus's death in 129 BC, the Kingdom of Pergamum was willed to Rome and became its Province of Asia (Minor). Roman Pergamum was still a rich, important city. Some of its most important monuments, such as the Temple of Trajan, date from Roman times. Modern Bergama (BEHR-gah-mah, pop. 100000) is a center for farming, light industry, schools, gold <b>...</b>

Lysimachus (Greek: Λυσίμαχος, Lysimachos; 360 BCE – 281 BCE) was a Macedonian officer and diadochus (i.e. "successor") of Alexander the Great, who became a basileus ("king") in 306 BCE, ruling Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedonia.
Early career
Lysimachus was born in 362/361 BC, the son of the Thessalian Agathocles from Crannon. He was granted citizenship in Macedon and was educated at the court in Pella. He was probably appointed Somatophylax during the reign of Philip II. During Alexander's Persian campaigns, he was one of his immediate bodyguards. In 324 BCE, in Susa, he was crowned in recognition for his actions in India. After Alexander’s death in 323 BCE, he was appointed to the government of Thrace as strategos.
Diadochi
In 315 BCE, he joined Cassander, Ptolemy and Seleucus against Antigonus, who, however, diverted his attention by stirring up Thracian and Scythian tribes against him. In 309 BCE, he founded Lysimachia in a commanding situation on the neck connecting the Chersonese with the mainland. He followed the example of Antigonus in taking the title of king.In 306 or 305, he assumed the title of "King", which he held until his death at Corupedium in 282/1.
In 302, when the second affiance between Cassander, Ptolemy and Seleucus was made, Lysimachus, reinforced by troops from Cassander, entered Asia Minor, where he met with little resistance. On the approach of Antigonus he retired into winter quarters near Heraclea, marrying its widowed queen Amastris, a Persian princess. Seleucus joined him in 301 BCE, and at the battle of Ipsus Antigonus was defeated and slain. His dominions were divided among the victors. Lysimachus' share was Lydia, Ionia, Phrygia and the north coast of Asia Minor.
Later years
Domestic troubles embittered the last years of Lysimachus’s life. Amastris had been murdered by her two sons; Lysimachus treacherously put them to death. On his return Arsinoe asked the gift of Heraclea, and he granted her request, though he had promised to free the city. In 284 BCE Arsinoe, desirous of gaining the succession for her sons in preference to Agathocles (the eldest son of Lysimachus), intrigued against him with the help of her brother Ptolemy Keraunos; they accused him of conspiring with Seleucus to seize the throne, and he was put to death.This atrocious deed of Lysimachus aroused great indignation. Many of the cities of Asia revolted, and his most trusted friends deserted him. The widow of Agathocles fled to Seleucus, who at once invaded the territory of Lysimachus in Asia. In 281 BCE, Lysimachus crossed the Hellespont into Lydia, and at the decisive Battle of Corupedium was killed. After some days his body was found on the field, protected from birds of prey by his faithful dog. Lysimachus's body was given over to his son Alexander, by whom it was interred at Lysymachia.
