And finally, we first and last names. Or rather, we begin to make Sardinia his name.

To do this we must start with a derby-Torres Cagliari a few decades ago. On the one hand, the choruses were "Tathari delenda", "Zola back fold "and the much more famous" The other night \\ walking down the street. " Across the cry "Cagliaritani Africans."
Well, I do not know if the fans were right rossoblu (Casteddu of the original, of course). Certainly the cabesusesi Torresini were not wrong. Why mythically the Sardinians have come (also) from Africa.
fact: the name of Sardinia is derived from a demigod African
... But let's order. The usual

Pausanias (not Temple), in fact, tells us that the first to reach the island by sea were the Libyans, led by Sardo. The island was already inhabited by indigenous people but, as mentioned, very little we know them. As for courses, Pausanias neglect them here.
Time: Libya antiquity was a concept large enough. Let's say, more or less, was present throughout the Mediterranean Africa, excluding the area of \u200b\u200bCarthage (Africa itself), the Mauretania (present Morocco and Algeria) and Egypt. The origin of these Libi, then, is not easily definable. A
this does not help us the story of Sardo: Pausanias tells us only that he was the son of Makeris (Egyptian name for Heracles and books, according to the author) and made a trip to Delphi. If this trip to the famous oracle of antiquity took place before or after he landed in Sardinia is unknown. But we can remember that in ancient times less mythical and historical, who was going to found a colony on his way to Delphi for directions, perhaps even Sardo did the same and went from the Pythia before migrating.

Pausanias adds that the natives of the island welcomed the Libi "needed the most for that purpose" and that Libi not expelled the natives themselves. A fragment of the Roman historian Sallust tells us that Sardo departed from Libya "with a great multitude" Perhaps the Indians were unable to counter this "multitude" and submitted themselves, merging with the new arrivals.
ensure that Pausanias, however, life did not change much after the establishment of Libi: both the people did not know how to build cities, but lived in huts and caves as well as they could.

Even Pausanias and Sallust tells us that Sardo was to give the new name to the island: Sardinia Sardinia, in fact.
We do not know, however, what was the name given to our land from the natives, but we have a wide choice of names sound greek.
Silio Italico tells us that the island was called by the Greeks Ichnusa, since it has the form of a human foot, and that that name was before the arrival of Sardo. The name is largely confirmed by the late Isidore of Seville, who knows how Ichnos.
Martian Capella, however, as well as original proposed Ichnussa Sandaliotes alternative name, the word for "sandal" and then again in relation to the shape of a foot on the island.
drains the Timaeus Plato says that the original name was Argyrofleps!

The fact that the island got its current name, which Ichnussa remained as the name for a drink and that Libi was settled.

Centuries later, and now we are in historic times, according to Pausanias, the Libyans made a second expedition in Sardinia. This time they were well armed (presumably this is Carthaginians) and attacked the inhabitants of the island Greeks and Trojans. Libi
I won both, but the outcomes for the people attacked were different. The Hellenes \\ Iole, in fact, were almost all annihilated. The Trojans, however, fled to the mountains and more difficult to access due to the roughness of the place and the defensive works, resisted the invader.
Thus, while Libi resemble in appearance, armor and every way of life, they managed to remain independent under the name of Ille. But settlers

Greeks and Trojans we will talk in some future posts.

few small note for non-islanders ...
"Casteddu", the "Castle" is the name of Sardinia Cagliari.

"Cabesusesu" (plural "Cabesusesi") is an inhabitant of "cab'e susu," the "Cape of above, the old administrative district of Spain, which corresponds roughly to the provinces of Sassari and Olbia-Tempio. To identify metonymy the inhabitants of Sassari. The provincial capital

Temple is actually called Tempio, hence the joke above ... The capital is not otherwise come into the myth, if not for his licentious carnival.

Paul Deacon (VIII DC) proposes an alternative name for Sardo: Sarde calls or Sardis, the son of Hercules (clerical error?). He also confirmed that the island's name was derived from him. He adds that the name of the island near-twin (Corsica) comes from Corso, a local leader.

Sardinia as the crossroads of the Mediterranean peoples. Not a slogan from modern tourism, but the "reality" of ancient myth, as we shall see.
We mentioned to the natives, from who knows where. Original inhabitants of Sardinia, or perhaps generic label to indicate "who was already telling the story of a new migration."
Today we start naming names and surnames, although only of peoples and, yet, of heroes. Or maybe yes. In
rigid geographical completely random, we'll talk about immigration that reached the Sardinia from north.

Pliny the Elder tells us that the most famous people of the Sardinia (excluding Roman Punic and Phoenician settlers) were the Ilies, the Balari and courses. And from this side.

The island of Corsica is not very far from Sardinia. On the contrary: there is practically attacked. Corsica was named by its inhabitants (the ligues, Pausanias tells us), while the Greeks called Cirne. For Paul Deacon (historic eighth century AD) was named Corsica Corso, one of his captains, while Sardinia by a son of Hercules.
The fact is that (yet Pausanias dixit) of the courses moved to Sardinia and occupied a portion of the island mountains. It is unclear why the author says that these immigrants received by the natives as Course: Not if they are brought home by themselves?

ligues But who were these? The name is greek for a people which the Romans called Ligures, the Ligurian, settled on the shores of the Ligurian Sea in an area that from Liguria (vivid imagination!) Reaching up to the Rhone. Even today we have been discussing whether a pre-Indo-European population, or rather akin to the Celts and Umbria.
Diodorus, another tipaccio we have already known and often end up on this post, tells us that the merchants were the Ligurian sailors bold. On boats, according to the Sicilians, were worse and a raft of boats that had almost nothing to address in the storms of the amazing Sea of \u200b\u200bSardinia and that of Libya.
Zonaras, a medieval Byzantine historian, tells us that during the uprising against the Romans in Sardinia, in addition to courses rose several times even the Ligurian.
At this point we have to imagine that, despite the poor boats, the Ligurian had allocated in Sardinia. The logic is: if you sailed to Libya, Sardinia was a staging point forced between their points of departure and arrival. If we had called to Corsica, perhaps those descended from their courses migrated to Sardinia. In the narrative of the revolt
Zonaras gives us one of the most tragic pages of Sardinian history: as the Roman raids did not get almost nothing because the rebels were hiding in forests and caves, the Roman general Pomponio was made to send sniffer dogs from Rome. Equipped with these "weapons" the Romans managed to track down opponents, killing many and forcing the survivors to surrender.

So far these two peoples.
But a legendary name in there we can already give this post: is that of Force, one of the "Old Sea" of Greek mythology, along with ocean, to Nereus and Proteus.
second serves, in what a follower of Evemero, King of Corsica and Sardinia was once just Force. We do not know if Servius meant that both islands were united, or simply that Forco was the king of the courses allocated on both sides of the Strait of Bonifacio. However
Forco Atlas faced in battle and his army was a disaster. The king of course it was defeated at sea and on land.
Now Forco disappeared, and his friends thought it was now a sea goddess.

become a king god: not bad for a people whom the Romans (quoting a great poet and singer, he immigrated to Liguria Sardinia) hunted game like it was!

Focus on: ROCKIN 'ROADS!


I knew he disappeared for two months! I'm just an idiot!
It 'still a sweet return, since I am here to introduce my new work: it is called ROCKIN' ROADS is designed by Giulio Argan and exit at Lucca for this year's Tunué.
The graphic novel is about this boy named David - but by all NoDave called because of its extreme intransigence, character and music - that leaves behind a troubled past and moved to Rome, where a university student does not combine much. He joined the metal band Deconstruction, however, playing the guitar and live a beautiful love story with Another musician, Antonella.
Life seems to throw into the breach, and all things seem directed toward a single goal: the creation of his most important dreams. That is, until
from the past that - basically - he has never been abandoned and whose shadow is projected onto any of its choice does not make his return to Tea, the person who, years earlier, had marked his life, for better or for worse , making him what he is now.
This sudden and unexpected return has devastating effects on the lives of NoDave and paradoxically, those that orbit in a distorted sort of domino effect.

This presentation:
Rockin 'Roads talk about rock music, choices, the desire to realize their dreams, but also the importance that can have its own past in making some decisions and the courage of not being influenced by it. In the background, lots of references to rock music and heavy metal, as a heartfelt tribute to this genre and this movement. The book is aimed at those who love the graphic novel introspective, as well as - of course - who is fond of the various branches of extreme rock.

We told you that the Sardinians were a bit of myth 'from every corner of the Mediterranean. A small correction, however, requires: someone who came from nowhere, there was already the first of all. Maybe
ticked off the ground like a tree bent by the mistral wind.

Pausanias, the second tourist in history (the first was his majesty the sparaballe Herodotus, of course) tells us that in Sardinia there were some natives: they were the first inhabitants of the island of Libyan, Phoenician, Geci and whatever ' others came later. And they were different from them.
say that Pausanias rather than say what they were and what they knew to do, speaks in the negative. That is, he says he does not know what name the natives had given Sardinia. Who could not build cities, but lived as happened in caves and hovels. That Libi (Pausanias to the first "new arrivals" on the island) do not drive them out. That the natives did not like the Libi but they were too weak to be able to reject them.
And finally: The Indigenous were subjected to a new invasion from some of the inhabitants of Corsica. Were themselves (the natives) to call the newcomers Courses: These were one of the three major lineages sardines legendary (and historical) together with Balari and unharmed. The

Diodorus Siculus adds little to the history of Indigenous Peoples. Maybe talking about them mixed with the Libyans arrived later, we do not know. It tells us, however, that Iolaus, the nephew of Heracles and mythical conqueror of Sardinia at the helm of his cousins \u200b\u200bTespiadi, defeated them in battle, and he divided the island among his proteges. Another note
spread is given when speaking of the revolt of the Libyans (African, Libi not the immigrants in Sardinia) against Carthage: it says that the natives of the island tried to take advantage of the revolt to free themselves from the Phoenicians.
are the same Indians in Pausanias tells us? O inhabitants of Sardinia are generally the Carthaginians, who were not? From the limited information of Diodorus we can not solve the riddle. However, the Nationalists resign islanders: the Carthaginians defeated the rebels soon in Africa and then reoccupied Sardinia.

End of news on Indigenous Peoples.
Some 'little, sure. Little news and lots of doubts.
Who were the natives? They were native-born spontaneously from Mother Earth? Or is it simply a definition of convenience to indicate a mythical people before the invasion? Or, better yet, the people who were on the island before the invasion is told that from time to time?
The mystery remains.
What is certain that, in a fairly typical, the residents receive "outside" civilization (build cities, for example). And who's first is subject to those arriving later.
and Sardinia, "after", it came very much. A small note


thank prof. Ugas for providing me with the classical sources that is the subject of mythical colonization of Sardinia. And 'obviously clear that everything appearing in these posts is exclusively the result of my interpretations (and my evil).

There are ancient myths, are modern myths. The first stems from the stories of fathers, the latter sometimes in some scientific discovery.
Thus, reinforcing the myth of the isolation of island inhabitants of the island of Sardinia, from time to time check out our territory in which there are genetically homogeneous areas, buildings and old. Great to make us a mapping of DNA.

In short, the Sardinians are also genetically different from others. Speaking as an ancient myth, we could say that we are indigenous, born from the Earth Mother, and never mixed with other people.
I say "we" as Sardinian, although my family seems to be the original "the continent" even came to Sardinia in ancient eras defined as less ... However

: giving heed to the DNA of Ogliastra, he is quite right the "Aunt Mary" is in every country, which, before the arrival of a stranger in the village square, it breaks down, and invariably asks " And tui, de chinisesi? ". That is: "Who you are (son)?".
implying: "If you came here, in this island, you are a returning emigrant, you can not be a stranger. In Sardinia there are and will only pass the Sardinians (with the exclusion of the police officers and nobles exploiters).
modern myths, in fact.

Because in ancient myth, Sardinia, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean West, was a "seaport" (you pardon the pun), as its location and its wealth implied.
The population was still considered a very mixed origin: not less than thirteen peoples have given rise to Sardis! An island that, at the time of law, received a land settlers today and one tomorrow. And not all the myths of antiquity hidden behind the appearance of an alleged rule recently.
In the face of genetic continuity and isolation ... This series

Post wants to lead the "continental" and also to find out where the Sardinians, as the classical myth, was the Sardinians.
But do not be afraid: if you fear alien origin, or Atlantean Shardana \\ people of Dan and more ... Well, these are modern myths that we will see again. A small note


According to other modern myths, the Sardinians were all unfailingly stubborn, hospitable, pastors, closed in the countries of the Interior, Terragni and sailors, unable to speak without doubling the consonants ...
Worse, some thirty years ago there was the myth that all the Sardinians were kidnappers. A vision
much to 'outsiders', to tell the truth!
Of course, even among the people of my island there are those who imply that "real Sardinian" are only those with a sort of "pure blood" traditionalist (pastor, friendly, stubborn, etc.. Etc.) Reserved for those who live in mountains of the interior. But if we analyze the information document of history and not a priori belief (the word "myths" Understanding in the negative, in fact), this is a tradition that has always had value not only for a major portion of the island population.

The only "belief" that has scientific value is that in Sardinia
is a high percentage of centenarians. We should not worry too much, however: it also increases pollution from us, and the data on longevity may soon become just another myth ...

MIGRATION - Corna, lies, perjury and 4 courts


We have told the birth, rise, loves and conquests of that liar named Minos. Today we'll tell you its sunset and its purpose.

Minos, son of Zeus, reigned supreme in Crete (country of liars), with two worries: the white bull which had inadvertently become the lover of his wife, and the Minotaur, the fruit of this foul union. Mind the latter was closed in the Labyrinth built by Daedalus, the first wild and uncontrollable ran around the whole island.
Perhaps mindful of the fact that the bull was a gift from Poseidon, and the dire consequences of having kept alive, Minos did little to capture the beast.
However, the king did not object when his brother arrived in Crete Heracles (Hercules, in the Latin), another demi-god son of one of the many worldly adventures of Zeus. Heracles had to fulfill one of his labors capturing the bull and put it in the court of Eurystheus of Mycenae: Minos gave him the green light, strong man and the hero did not fail the enterprise, capturing the bull and wearing on the continent.

On the question of the Minotaur, Minos saw him unexpectedly resolved by the Athenian Theseus, son of Aegeus, king of Athens (Or, according to others, of Poseidon the sea god).
As you may recall, the Athenians were defeated by Minos, and forced to pay a ruthless toll: each year, Crete had to send seven boys and seven girls were virgins who serve as food for the Minotaur.
Also that year the ship arrived in Athens, but Theseus was one of seven children, already famous for having wiped out the breed of ruffians and murderers who rule the roost across the Isthmus of Corinth.
arrival of the ship, Minos behaved like his usual: one of the girls caught his attention, and the king would take advantage on the spot. Theseus
opposed, proclaiming himself the son of Poseidon. Minos, once time rather blasphemous and disrespectful to the god of the sea, first ventured to say that God certainly did not comply with the girls that liked them. Then he challenged Theseus to prove his divine origin: the king threw a ring into the sea and said he would have recognized as Theseus son of Poseidon if the Athenians had brought the jewel.
Theseus, who did not bend to anyone, said he would do it only after Minos had proved to be the son of Zeus. The boy was cheeky, but Minos could not accept a challenge to his house, he called Zeus, and straightway the father sent a lightning and thunder.
We can imagine the satisfied grin of Minos when turned to Theseus, but the young man had already dipped: a group of dolphins led the hero to the palace of the Nereids and there Teti (according to others it was Amphitrite) gave Theseus the ring and a jeweled crown, wedding gift Aphrodite.

When the hero emerged, Minos was forced to bite the bullet, but someone else noticed the boy was Ariadne, the young daughter of the king.
The girl in the night, came secretly to the room where Theseus rested waiting to be taken to the Labyrinth. Arianna brought with him two gifts for the hero: a sword to kill the Minotaur and a magic ball of thread, a gift of Daedalus, to find their way out of the maze. In return, Theseus gave him the crown, and promised to take her and marry her.

Theseus performed the enterprise: he killed the Minotaur, rescued his companions and fled with Ariadne from Crete. Minos did not take it, but eventually reconciled with Theseus, that has become king of Athens: the young man had stolen a child (Theseus then abandoned by order of Dionysius), but had eliminated the hassle and shame of the Minotaur . To seal this peace, Minos gave her another daughter to Theseus, Phaedra: even this union, however, was not lucky.

But there was another Athenian that Minos had its intention to forgive: the inventor Daedalus. Some say that Daedalus had been closed in the Maze after having allowed the union between Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, and the bull. If it did not happen at that time, surely it was then that Minos imprisoned Daedalus in the Labyrinth, and his son Icarus, as a reward for having given the magic ball to Ariadne. But
Daedalus created the wings with feathers and wax them with the inventor and his son escaped from the Maze.

Minos went out of the grace of God: Daedalus wanted revenge!
did not know that the Athenian had already been punished for disobeying orders of his father Daedalus, Icarus had flown too close to the sun above, and the heat had melted the wax of the wings.

The poor boy fell into the sea, where he met his death, while his father came to an end in Sicily at the court of Cocalo, king of shirts. Those fees and the games ... great monuments to the king's daughters.

Minos organized his fleet and sailed to the west. But as Stan
the ingenious inventor?
Minos was a perjurer and a liar, but was no fool: he knew that Daedalus would not have survived a challenge that only he could solve. So the king, landed anywhere, showed a shell of Triton, and promised a great reward to those who had been able to get us through a linen thread.
Cocalo proposed the challenge to its inventor, Daedalus, and he succeeded brilliantly, as usual: he made a hole in the shell, and poured in the honey, then picked up an ant and tied them around a thin wire, then let in the el'insetto ant hole, eating the honey, crossed the entire shell. Finally Daedalus fastened to a linen thread attached to the thin end of the wire ant ... and the game was done.

Cocalo went to claim the prize, and Minos was a bad payer as usual: rather than pay as promised, made his big voice and demanded the surrender of Daedalus, the only man capable of making the enterprise. We do not know if Cocalo, seeing the Cretan fleet, has surrendered at once, but his daughters did not agree: never ever gave up the one who invented the game for them so beautiful. So
plotted with Daedalus: While Minos was enjoying a warm bath, through a tube hidden Daedalus brought down the king boiling water, or according to other pitch. The fact is that the king of Crete we stayed dry instantly.
But his story would last even nell'aldià ...

fact, dead in her bathtub more than Marat, Minos, treacherous, lying, wicked, and horned cornificatore ended his mortal career based on lies and bulls, and began a new, far more rewarding: ended the Underworld ... with the role of judge of the dead, because they recognized him as one of the most righteous among men. Given the curriculum of Minos, one wonders what the level of morality of others!
At his side, in the court of hell sat brother Rhadamanthus, now reconciled, and Aiakos, once its rival.

There, centuries later, find him during his mystical journey Dante Alighieri. But little remains of the royal Minos, a roaring bull-headed beast, with a large serpentine queue that wraps around itself, giving the sinner the circle which it is intended.

Coming Soon ...
Our description Migration continues!
We take a break from Greece, where Cadmus, brother of Europe, would have caused a stir, and we will follow Daedalus: continuing to migrate to the West, the inventor, left Sicily, arrived in Sardinia. Here began the service of other famous emigrants \\ immigrants, the sons of Heracles and daughters of Thespis, or the Tespiadi. And to their factory
... But more about that in another post, the first of a series dedicated to the legendary settlers of Sardinia.

Some small notes ... The bull
Crete captured by Heracles was set free by King Eurystheus. The beast fled across the Isthmus of Corinth came to the plain of Marathon, Attica. Here Theseus killed him, according to some mythographers before the journey of Theseus in Crete.

According to the charge of fourteen children should not be sent every year, but every nine years, ie at the end of a Great Year.

The myth of Icarus finds a match in a myth of the Zuni Indians. One of them tells of a young man in love with female eagle who had reared, and released her, tramutatosi to turn into a bird, followed her to the Turquoise Mountain. Here was given a dress to the young eagle, but also the admonition not to fly beyond the chain of mountains that you could see horizon. But one day, while flying, the young man was seized with a feeling of power that violated the ban, passed the chain saw and the city of the dead. After various events, as happened to Icarus, the young man was also ripped the dress eagle and the boy fell crashing to the ground.
