[Nikas777]

PS: I am not discounting the Thracian origin either but the Greeks have plenty of examples of men and nymphs copulating and finding cities from that union.

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe I'm just too skeptical, but I don't believe the stories of men and nymphs copulating...I think the stories were just made up later.

Well, maybe Achilles was the son of a mortal man and a nymph, but the other stories were made up.
