Name used by the ancient Greeks to refer to non-Greek people
This article is about the Greek exonym for certain non-Greek peoples. For other uses, see Tyrrhenian (disambiguation).
Tyrrhenians (Attic Greek: ΤυῤῥηνοίTurrhēnoi) or Tyrsenians (Ionic: ΤυρσηνοίTursēnoi; Doric: ΤυρσανοίTursānoi[1]) was the name used by the ancient Greeks authors to refer, in a generic sense, to non-Greek people, in particular pirates.[2]
While ancient sources have been interpreted in a variety of ways, the Greeks always called the Etruscans Tyrsenoi, although not all Tyrsenians were Etruscans.[2] Furthermore the languages of Etruscan, Rhaetian and Lemnian cultures have been grouped together as the Tyrsenian languages, based on their strong similarities.[3]
