Getai being Sarmation?

[cezarip]

No, its not that the whole book is fairy tales. He's got some good stuff in there, but its sprinkled in among a complex web of exaggeration and invention, which means that its much more likely to mislead someone new to the subject than to actually help them get their feet wet.

I think you're right. Not a good choice for a beginner.

By the way paullus I would be interested in a good book about the pelasgians. Any advice?
