Pieres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pieres (Ancient Greek,"Πίερες") were a Thracian tribe[1] connected with the Brygi,[2] that long before the archaic period in Greece occupied the narrow strip of plain land, or low hill, between the mouths of the Peneius and the Haliacmon[3] rivers, at the foot of the great woody steeps of Mount Olympus.[4] This region was named after them as Pieria (Greek: Πιερία).
