Neuri
According to Herodotus the Neuri were a tribe living beyond the Scythian, one of the nations along the course of the river Ὕπανις ''Hypanis'' (Southern Bug River), West of the Βορυσθένης ''Borysthenes'' (Dniepr river), roughly the area of modern northern (initially north western) Ukraine (historic Volyn) and southern Belarus. ==Herodotus's Account==
According to Herodotus the Neuri (Νευροί) were a tribe living North of the Tyres, and the furthest nation beyond the Scythian farmers along the course of the river Hypanis. The land of the Neuri is described as being bounded by the rivers Ister, Tyras, Hypanis, Borysthenes, Gerras and Tanais; whilst the region itself is referred to as Hypakyris. Herodotus also mentions wild white horses nearby that grazed by a great lake. In Herodotus's account, he states that the Neuri were driven from their land "''one generation before the attack of Darius (512 BC)''" by an invasion of serpents. Herodotus says that "they observe Scythian customs" and that "they seem to be magicians." He also reports a Scythian tale that the Neuri changed once a year into wolves, although giving no credence to it. This is perhaps a reference to a shamanic practices.
