Odomanti
Odomanti or Odomantes (Ancient Greek: Ὀδόμαντες) were an ancient Paeonian tribe in Thrace. The Odomanti are noted by Herod. vii. 112; Thuc. ii. 101, v. 6; Steph. B. s. v.; and Plin. iv. 18.
The district which they occupied, was called after them, Odomantice (Ὀδομαντική). The tribe were settled upon the whole of the great mountain Orbelus, extending along the northeast of the lower Strymonic plain, from about Meleniko (Melnik, Bulgaria) and Demirissar (Sidirokastro, Greece) to Zikhnd inclusive, where they bordered on Pangaeus, the gold and silver mines of which they worked with the Pieres and Satrae. (Herod. l. c.) Secure in their inaccessible position, they defied Megabazus. (Herod. v. 16.) The northwest portion of their territory lay to the right of Sitalces as he crossed Mount Cercine; and their general situation agrees with the description of Thucydides (ii. 101), according to whom they dwelt beyond the Strymon to the north, that is to say, to the north of the Lower Strymon, where, alone, the river takes such a course to the east as to justify the expression. Cleon invited Polles, their chieftain, to join him with as many Thracian mercenaries as could be levied. (Thuc. v. 6; Aristoph. Acharn. 156, 164; Suid. s. v. ἀποτεθρίακεν; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. pp. 210, 306, 465.)

by: Joey DiamondTrapped inside,a vision of love
I was now feeling so alone
Disconnected by a path I've chose
Never thought that we'd cross roads
I don't need nobody
Keep telling myself I want somebody
Somebody to myself
Need nobody
Keep telling myself I want somebody
Somebody to myself
This,this,this gunna be,be,be the first time
I ever open up
Now now now This,this,this gunna be,be,be the first
time
I ever fall in love
With you
A light that's shining
You,have such perfect timing
Lost inside a secret dream
Stuck in a hole of a galaxy
Internally scarred by the pain and the past
Never thought anything could last
Then I found you
The skies turned blue,oh
(Verse 1)
This,this,this gunna be,be,be the first time
I ever open up
Now now now This,this,this gunna be,be,be the first
time
I ever fall in love
With you
A light that's shining
You,have such perfect timing
Lost inside a secret dream
Stuck in a hole of a galaxy
Now I can't live without your love
Now I can't breathe without your touch
No I can't be without your love(x2)
(Verse 1)
This,this,this gunna be,be,be the first time
I ever open up
Now now now This,this,this gunna be,be,be the first
time
I ever fall in love
With you
A light that's shining
You,have such perfect timing
Lost inside a secret dream
