Perrebët

Perrebët ^[1] ose Peraebët (greqishtja e vjetër: Περραιβοί ) ishin një fis fis iliro - pellazg, të cilët sipas mitologjisë ishin pasardhës të Perrebit, bir i Ilirit dhe nip i Polifemit dhe Galateas përkatësisht Kadmit dhe Harmonias. Perrebët banonin në pjesën veriore të Thesalisë së Lashtë si dhe në një pjesë të Maqedonisë së Lashtë. ^[2] ^[3]

Historia

Vendbanimi i tyre njihej si Perebia ose Peraebia (në greqishten e vjetër : Περραιβών), dhe kryeqyteti i tyre ndodhej në vendin e Elasonës së sotme. Territori i tyre mbulonte vendin nga Malet e Pindit deri në Osa në lindje dhe nga Penei deri në Maqedoninë e lashtë në veri.

Perrebët morën pjesë në amfiksionin thesalian me dy vota. Vendi i tyre u pushtua dhe iu aneksua Maqedonisë së Lashtë nga Filipi II i Maqedonisë, me një status quo që mbeti deri në pushtimin e tyre nga romakët në vitin 196.pes.

Homeri i përmend ata si pjesëmarrës në Luftën e Trojës ndërsa Herodoti - i përmend si pjesëtarë të ushtrisë së Kserksit I. ^[4]

The Greeks of Thrace and the islands off Thrace furnished one hundred and twenty ships, and the companies of these ships must then have consisted of twenty-four thousand men. As regards the land army supplied by all the nations--Thracians, Paeonians, Eordi, Bottiaei, Chalcidians, Brygi, Pierians, Macedonians, Perrhaebi, Enienes, Dolopes, Magnesians, Achaeans, dwellers on the coast of Thrace--of all these I suppose the number to have been three hundred thousand. When these numbers are added to the numbers from Asia, the sum total of fighting men is two million, six hundred and forty-one thousand, six hundred and ten.
