-
there is a tremendous colonizing of southern Italy.
-
Greek cities are all over the place.
-
So Greek was that area that when the Romans do come
-
to dominate most of Italy
-
and sort of move up against the southern region they refer to
-
the whole southern portion of that peninsula as Magna Graecia,
-
great Greece because
-
they're all Greeks down there.
-
Then finally, down we go to Sicily
-
and there you have the east coast.
-
I would say two-thirds of the coast of the island of Sicily
-
is filled with Greek towns.
