Aborigines (mythology)
The Aborigines (Ancient Greek translation: Ἀβοριγῖνες) in Roman mythology are the oldest inhabitants of central Italy, connected in legendary history with Aeneas, Latinus and Evander. They were supposed to have descended from their mountain home near Reate (an ancient Sabine town) upon Latium, whence they expelled the Siceli and subsequently settled down as Latini under a King Latinus.〔Dr. Leonhard Schmitz ''A History of Rome, From the Earliest Times to the Death of Commodus, A.D. 192.'' p.8-9〕〔Dionysius of Halicarnassus. ''Roman Antiquities'', I.9.〕
==Etymology==
The most generally accepted etymology of the Latin word aborigines, is that it derives from ''ab origine'', according to which they were the original inhabitants of the country, although Cato regarded them as Hellenic immigrants, not as a native Italian people.〔Marcus Porcius Cato. ''Origines'', 5.6.7.〕 Other etymological explanations suggested are ''arborigines'', meaning "tree-born," and ''aberrigines'', meaning "nomads". Lycophron calls a people of central Italy, ''Boreigonoi''.〔Lycophron. ''Alexandra'', 1253.〕
