In my research into my beliefs (to help myself further my own person moral beliefs, and to find more about the Ancient Peoples that I am taking my various Religions from) I began to research Thrace.
Thats not the only reason... I also wanted to write a story about a Thracian, and needed to know more about them...
But, while I was researching it, I noticed that the Gods and Goddesses more often appear as redheads with blue eyes... And I believe this is because the Thracians had this characteristic among them.
Not only that, but I think that I might have Thracian blood in me, as my eyes are the very same shade of blue...
Mostly, though, what I noticed is that the Greeks borrowed a few of their own Myths from the Thracians. The Macedonians and Romans did this, as well.
Considering Thrace/Thracia was more of a mass of land populated by many peoples, the Thracians were more loose tribes, rather than a unified, urbanized country. In fact, the thought of urbanization was either alien, or horrible to them. Or both.
What I want to know is if there is anyone here who knows a lot about Ancient Thrace, and/or worships any of the Thraco-Dacian and Illyrian Gods and Goddesses...

Winter Black But, while I was researching it, I noticed that the Gods and Goddesses more often appear as redheads with blue eyes... And I believe this is because the Thracians had this characteristic among them. That's not particularly distinguising. The Celts also had this characteristic as, I believe, did the Scandinavians. Winter Black Not only that, but I think that I might have Thracian blood in me, as my eyes are the very same shade of blue... What very same shade of blue? Have you looked into your family tree to verify this?

As far as I knew, the Celts had more green eyes, than blue...
And light blue, kind of like faded denim... I think thats what the document I read at the library said... I don't know, because I'm not allowed in the library anymore. (Don't ask. I'm not going to bother expalining.)
And no, because 1) I don't really know how, and 2) I'm not even sure that either side of my family has a family tree I could check.
Edit: All I really know about my family is that my fathers father is from Italy, and one of my moms grandfathers is straight from the Ucraine, the city Kiev.
The other, I believe, was from Poland.
And somewhere in there, there is Sweedish blood. Probably from my dads side of the family. [shrugs]

Also note that the area in question was known for it's Gnostic sects.
