from 26° Greenwich 27 wing the General Relationship by Tribes. HELLAS AND THE HELLENES 85 Thessalians had once lived in Epirus, but something oc-curred which drove them over the Pindus range into thevalley which has ever since been called after them, Thessaly.The Boeotians, an iEolian tribe, were forced out of Thessalyand occupied the Boeotian plain. The movement of theThessalians also drove out the Dorians, who left a portionof their tribe in the little state of Doris in Central Greece;but the greater part moved into the Peloponnesus, conqueredthe people living there, and made a large part of the countryDorian. This tradition is in its main outlines correct. The earliestbooks of the Greek people, the epic poems called the Iliadand the Odyssey, locate the tribes in a different position fromthat which they held in historic times; and thus it is evi-dent that some general shifting of tribes had taken place.The movement is generally put at about 1000 b. c, and iscalled the Dorian Migrat
