Samothrace\u2019s names reflect these functions: they emphasize visibility (\u2018moon mountain\u2019 \u2018shining one\u2019 \u2018white\u2019 \u2018high\/lofty\u2019 or even \u2018saved\u2019).

the Thracian island which we call Samothrace. And he apparently knows the Ionian Samos, for he seems to know the Ionian migration, and he would not, otherwise, have bothered to distinguish the identity of name, designiating Samothrace now by an epithet, as in &#8220;high on the topmost summit of wooded Samos, the Thracian,&#8221; again by association with the neighboring islands, as in &#8220;to Samos and Imbros and inhospitable Lemnos,&#8221; or &#8220;betwixt Samos and craggy Imbros.&#8221; He knew the Ionian island, therefore, but did not name it&#8230; Since, then, both Cephallenia and Samothrace were called &#8220;Samos&#8221; at the time of the Trojan War (for otherwise Hecuba would not be introduced declaring that those of her children &#8220;whom he might capture [Achilles] would sell off in Samos and Imbros&#8221;) and since Ionian Samos had not yet been colonized, it is clear that the latter received the same name as one of the islands that had it earlier. Whence this too is clear, that what those writers say, who declare that after the Ionian migration and the arrival of Tembrion settlers came from Samos and names Samothrace Samos, is contrary to the history of antiquity, since the Samians made up this story to gain glory. More credible are those writers who say that the island received its name from the fact that heights were called &#8220;samoi,&#8221; for from them &#8220;all Ida was visible, and the city of Priam and the ships of the Achaeans.&#8221; But some say that it was called Samos after the Saii, the Thracians who dwelt in it previously and who held also the adjacent [part of the] mainland.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source:\u00a0Lewis, N.\u00a0<em>Ancient Literary Sources.<\/em>\u00a0Samothrace 1.

beginning with Samothrace. This island, according to some, was called Samos in ancient times, but when the island now known as Samos came to be settled, because the names were the same, the ancient Samos came to be called Samothrace from the land of Thrace which lies opposite it. It was inhabited by men who were sprung from the soil itself; consequently no tradition has been handed down regarding who were the first men and leaders on the island. But some say that in ancient days it was called Saonnesus and that it received the name of Samothrace because of the settlers who emigrated to it from both Samos and Thrace. The autochthonous inhabitants used an ancient languages which was peculiar to them and of which many words are preserved to this day in the ritual of their sacrifices. And the Samothracians have a story that, before the floods which befell other peoples, a great one took place near them, in the course of which the outlet at the Cyanean Rocks was first rent asunder and then the Hellespont. For the Pontus, which had at the time the form of a lake, was so swollen by the rivers which flow into it, that, because of the great flood which had poured into it, its waters burst forth violently into the Hellespont and flooded a large part of the coast of Asia and made no small amount of the level part of the land of Samothrace into a sea; and this is the reason, we are told, why in later times fishermen have now and then brought up in their nets the stone capitals of columns, since even cities were covered by the inundation. The inhabitants who had been caught by the flood, the account continues, ran up to the higher regions of the island; and when the sea kept rising higher and higher, they prayed to the native gods; and since their lives were spared, to commemorate their rescue they set up boundary stones about the entire circuit of the island and established altars upon which they offer sacrifices even to the present day. For these reasons it is patent that they inhabited Samothrace before the flood.After the events we have described one of the inhabitants of the island, a certain Saon, who was a son, some say, of Zeus and a nymph, but, according to others, of Hermes and Rhene, gathered into one body the peoples who were dwelling in scattered habitations and established laws for them; and he was given the name Saon after the island, but the multitude of the people he distributed among five tribes which he named after his sons. And while the Samothracians were living under a government of this kind, they say that there were born in that land to Zeus and Electra, who was one of the Atlantids, Dardanus and Iasion and Harmonia. Of these children Dardanus, who was a man who entertained great designs and was the first to make his way across to Asia on a raft, founded at the outset a city called Dardanus.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source:\u00a0Lewis, N.\u00a0<em>Ancient Literary Sources.<\/em>\u00a0Samothrace 1.
