Especially Croton which was the most powerful Greek city on mainland southern Italy. Pythagoras had his school there and had an advanced medical school with Alcmaeon as its most famous medical theorist. It also had many victors in the ancient Olympics as Milo was one of one. Sybaris is were the idea of living in luxury came from as the word "sybaritic" suggests. Locri had famous poets and writers like Nossis. Oh, and Rhegium had Ibycus the lyric poet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-649431201703508681.post-35251667813762675292009-03-09T11:37:00.000-04:002009-03-09T11:37:00.000-04:00Good post.
