Ancient Greek tribe

TheMagnetes (Greek:Μάγνητες) were anancient Greek tribe. In book 2 of theIliad,Homer includes them in the Greek Army that is besiegingTroy, and identifies their homeland inThessaly, in a part that is still known asMagnesia.[1] Later, they participated in theGreek colonisation of WesternAnatolia by founding two prosperous cities:Magnesia on the Maeander andMagnesia ad Sipylum.

Mythology

[edit]

According to theHesiodicCatalogue of Women (fr. 7),Thyia, a daughter ofDeucalion, lay withZeus and bore two sons:Magnes andMakednos, the eponyms of the Magnetes andMacedones, respectively. Within Thyia's extended family in theCatalogue are found the progenitors of several of the other earlyGreek tribes. Her sisterPandora II (named after her grandmother, the famousPandora) boreGraecus (also to Zeus). And their brotherHellen, along with his three sonsDorus,Xuthus (with his sonsIon andAchaeus) andAeolos, filled out the set of progenitors of the ancient tribes that formed the Greek/Hellenic nation.
