Pelasgians from Thessaly

PelaSgians

Ancient Greek writers used the name "Pelasgian" to refer to groups of people who preceded the Hellenes and dwelt in several locations in mainland Greece, Crete, and other regions of the Aegean as neighbors of the Hellenes. Pelasgians spoke a language different from the Greeks. Scholars have since come to use the term "Pelasgian", somewhat indiscriminately, to indicate all the autochthonous inhabitants of these lands before the arrival of the Greeks, and in recent times it may refer to the indigenous, pre-Indo-European peoples of Anatolia as well.http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1541876?bs=1#marker_submit

*** not to be confused with Pelagians = followers of Pelagius **

Pelagius was a Christian heretic
