Scandanavian. Maybe that is too far west. Still, what a shocking
omission. It disappoints me to learn that there were no German
stories of Persians or Parthians, no references to Cyrus or Darius
and their trans Danube forays.


Hi,

I read some articles about the Germanic graves of Gommern (ca. 300)
and Hassleben. The former is the riches Germanic grave ever
discovered. Gommern and Hassleben are in Germany. These graves
included objects from the Black Sea region and the dead even got a
Charons penny in their mouths, indicating that some Greek practices
had travelled north as well.

Cheers
Dirk
