Dear CoW!

We would like to change the name of our tribe from Sicilians to Elymoi

Primary sources for this change are:
http://www.bestofsicily.com/mag/art144.htm

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elymians
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicily

We go for the greek alternative of the name due to the time frame - We assume a kind of Hellenization already had happened.

The quote from the first linked URL "... Unlike the Sicanians, a native people, the Elymians probably arrived from Asia Minor (now Turkey) in a migration that took them to northern Africa. ..." is absolutely true in our case.

There is another quote, which definitely should get us the support of Denis : "... One could compare the Elymians to the medieval Visigoths, a people who wandered in search of a new homeland before finally settling in one. ..."

We also like from the wikipedia-article the 'Peoples of the Sea'-approach - but this is more or less just a nice RP-feature.

From a geographical point of view we are sitting on the 'wrong side' of Sicilia, but we can adjust this fault sometime.

We hope that you can follow our argumentation.
Merci!
