Morea

The Morea ((ギリシア語:Μωρέας) or , (フランス語:Morée), (イタリア語:Morea), (トルコ語:Mora)) was the name of the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. It also referred to a Byzantine province in the region, known as the Despotate of Morea.
==Origins of the name==
There is some uncertainty over the origin of the medieval name "Morea", which is first recorded only in the 10th century in the Byzantine chronicles.
Traditionally scholars thought the name originated from the word ''morea'' (μορέα), meaning morus or mulberry, a tree which, though known in the region from the ancient times, gained value after the 6th century, when silkworms were smuggled from China to Byzantium. Then the mulberry began to be planted so copiously in the Peloponnesus that the plain around Thebes came to be known as ''Morokampos'' and Thebes gained renown for its silk.〔H.C. Darby, "The face of Europe on the eve of the great discoveries", in ''The New Cambridge Modern History'' vol. 1, 1957:34.〕 No silk is now made at Thebes and mulberry trees are not prominent, but the Theban plain retains its name ''Morokampos'' from the mulberry trees which once gave the town its prosperity.〔W.A. Heurtley, H.C. Darby, C W. Crawley, ''A Short History of Greece from Early Times to 1964'' 1967:49.〕
The British Byzantinist Steven Runciman suggested that the name comes "from the likeness of its shape to that of a mulberry leaf." 〔Runciman, ''A Traveller's Alphabet'', "Morea")〕
