Lyginus river,battle of Lyginus 335 B.C between the Triballians and Alexander the Great.
Lyginus-from "Liga" Lyga meaning "slimy" slippery,muddy present day name Rositsa name from Rosa "dew" especialy in the morning,which is pretty much connected with wetness,nowadays the word "Lyga" is mostly shifted for drool,is used to desrcibe slimy species such are the slug,it is used to describe wetness but we preffer other words mostly.
The Tribalians(exonym used for the Serbs) were defeated in this battle.
Will use some older Historian of our,who collected their history mostly from the epic poetry such are the "guslars" where this battle and prior are recorded.
Kačić Miošić,he was Francisian from his mid 10 who began and ended his career in the monastery of Zaostrog.In 1756 and 1759 he published in Venice two editions of his "Pleasant conversation of the Slavic people" (Naroda Slovinskoga)his years are a bit mixed but we are talking about oral sources.
He had the king Bradilo (Slovinac) fighting in a vicious war against Phillip of Macedonia which Bradilo has won forcing tribute upon Phillip.However Bradilo son's and succesors were subdued by Alexander the great.
History that we know;In 339 BC, when Philip II of Macedon was returning from his expedition against the Scythians, the Triballi refused to allow him to pass the Haemus unless they received a share of the booty. Hostilities took place, in which Philip was defeated and wounded by a spear in his right thigh,but the Triballi appear to have been subsequently subdued by him.
After the death of Philip, Alexander the Great passed through the lands of the Odrysians in 335-334 BC, crossed the Haemus ranges and after three encounters (Battle of Haemus, Battle at Lyginus river, Battle at Peuce Island) defeated and drove the Triballians to the junction of the Lyginus at the Danube. 3,000 Triballi were killed, the rest fled. Their king Syrmus (eponymous to Roman Sirmium) took refuge on the Danubian island of Peukê, where most of the remnants of the defeated Thracians were exiled.
Odrysians are noted as the proper thracians, more so than the Triballi, Bessi, Moesians, Dacians and Getae
