Abstract:

As one of the most ancient inhabitants in the Balkans, the Thracians left some cultural marks in history. Thanks to the records of some ancient writers, we can recognize that the Thracians not only had their own independent language and tradition, but also kept their special customs, which revealed evident features of the time and embodied characteristics and ethical values of the people. This comprises an important aspect that we should not ignore when we study such an ancient ethnic.
