Edonia

Edonia ((ギリシア語:Ἠδωνία)) was an ancient region in present-day Greece, located to the east of Chalkidice, between the Nestus and Strymon rivers, in what is now East Macedonia and Thrace. It was home to the Edonian people, a local Balkan tribe considered "barbarian" by the Greeks. Notable Edonian cities include Drabescus and Myrcinus. Later, the Greeks settled in the region, drove out the Edonians and built several colonies, including Amphipolis, and Eion.〔The Peloponnesian War (The Landmark Thucydides edition, Robt. B. Strassler, editor), Touchstone, New York, 1998, sec. 1.100 and 4.107, and maps 1.99 and 4.106〕
According to the Greek mythology, the Edonians were ruled at one time by Lycurgus who was destroyed by Bacchus for opposing his worship. The Edonides, the women of the Edoni and worshippers of Bacchus, murdered Orpheus, and were turned into oak trees.〔(Metamorphoses (Kline) Index, the Ovid Collection, Univ. of Virginia )〕
"''the pliant roots held her, and checked her, struggling. When she looked for where her toenails, toes and feet were, she saw the wood spreading over the curve of her leg, and, trying to strike her thighs with grieving hands, she beat on oak: her breasts turned to oak: her shoulders were oak. You would have thought the jointed arms were real branches, and your thought would not have been wrong.''" Bk XI:67-84 The transformation of the Maenads
