Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 24 days ago

The Magnetes (Greek: Μάγνητες) were an ancient Greek tribe. In book 2 of the Iliad, Homer includes them in the Greek Army that is besieging Troy, and identifies their homeland in Thessaly, in a part that is still known as Magnesia. Later, they participated in the Greek colonisation of Western Anatolia by founding two prosperous cities: Magnesia on the Maeander and Magnesia ad Sipylum.
