THRACE,
    "Thrace" is northern Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, etc.  The ancient Thracians were considered barbarians by highfalutin Greeks, but they were pretty much neck and neck in the culture game.  Greeks did seafaring, which evidently Thracians were not partial to, but Thracians were famous as horse people and they were not too shabby in architecture either.  Everything is more complicated when you look at it more closely.
