Styreans aren't from the place in Austria edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article has linked Styreans to the area in Austria called Styria, Steiermark, etc., which has a Wikipedia article. That's not the same place. I went to Herodotus, where the article is nicely footnoted. With some effort, I located these passages:

The Styreans furnished the same ships as at Artemisium; the Cythnians, one and a penteconter : both these people are Dryopians. [Cary translation, viii 46]

AND
he first of all landed the slaves from Eretria on the island of the Styreans, called JEgilia

[vi 107; the name of the island was garbled by Optical Character Recognition, but it's clearly not a place in what is now Austria]

So I'm removing the link. Oaklandguy (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
