Jesus Christ! And to think I called you resourceful.
Elaea or Elaia (Ancient Greek: Ἐλαία), also Elea(Ἐλέα), was a town of Thesprotia in ancient Epirustoward the mouth of the Acheron river. The town is mentioned by Ptolemy. Thucydides calls the surrounding district Elaeatis (Ἐλαιατις) and indicates that Ephyra was in the territory of Elaea.[1] Its port was Elaias Limen, literally the "Bay of Elaea", which the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax asserts was the main port of Thesprotia.
There were 5 Elaea in antiquity in:
1. In Ethiopia
2. Near Pergamon, modern Western Turkey
3. Lebanon
4. Bithynia, modern Turkey
5. Thesprotia, Epirus
When linguists assume it’s Illyrian, which Elaea do you think I’m talking about? The one in Ethiopia or Lebanon?
