When a Turk says:

"Sources of information on the Thracian civilization are very scarce"

loud bells go off in my head.

Sources of information may be scarce throughout the islamic world ... or the mohammadans are doing what they do so well; stealing the history of an indigenous culture.

Famous Thracians

Some of these individuals were ethnically Thracian

In Greek legend, Orpheus was the chief representative of the art of song and playing the lyre, and of great importance in the religious history of Greece. Democritus was a Greek philosopher and mathematician from Abdera, Thrace (c. 460 BC- 370 BC.) His main contribution is the atomic theory, the belief that all matter is made up of various imperishable indivisible elements which he called atoms.

Herodicus was a Thracian physician of the fifth century BC who is considered the founder of sports medicine. He is believed to have been one of Hippocrates' tutors. Spartacus was a Thracian enslaved by the Romans who led a large slave uprising in what is now Italy in 73–71 BC. His army of escaped gladiators and slaves defeated several Roman legions in what is known as the Third Servile War.

Maximinus Thrax, Roman emperor (AD 235–238), was born in Thrace or Moesia to a Gothic father and an Alanic mother.
