The blind poet Homer pretty well covered the destruction of the Milesian colony at Illium (Allium) by the more primitive Greeks. That Scythians adopted Celtic culture, weapons and words is beyond dispute

Helloo. Greeks more primitive than Celts????? When was this? Or are you talking aobut Doric Greeks who smashed the Mycenean civilisation in 1200 BC?

Illium, Allium, Troy ~ all same thing GI.

The folks who lived there for the previous one thousand years were obviously culturally advanced over their attackers!
