Sinti (antično pleme)

Iz Wikipedije, proste enciklopedije
Približen poselitveni prostor Sintov

Sinti (grško Σίντιες, dob.'razbojniki, plenilci', iz ςιντείσ, sinteis 'uničujoč') je starogrško poimenovanje za pirate in roparje,[1] ki so poseljevali Sintiko[2] in otok Lemnos, ki se je v antiki tudi imenoval 'Sinteis'.[3] 'Sinti' je lahko tudi poimenovanje za Tračane.[4][5]

Sintijci so častili Hefajsta. Homer jih je v Iliadi[6] omenjal kot ljudstvo, ki je skrbelo za Hefajsta na Lemnosu, potem ko so ga hromega spustili na zemljo; v Odiseji nastopajo Sintijci 'divjega govora' ([ἀγριόφωνοι] Napaka: {{Jezik-xx}}: neveljaven parameter: |labels= (pomoč)),[7] po Homerjevemu izročilu naj bi bili ti Sintijci zaradi nerazumljivega govora nehelenskega izvora.[8] Analiza Iliade pravi, da ker Sinti nimajo neposrednega religioznega konteksta (bogov nič ne prosijo), bi lahko sumili, da so bili oni tisti, ki so v nekem predhomerskem mitu rešili boga."[9] Leta 2002 so ob vznožju ugaslega vulkana blizu Rupite v Bolgariji po naključju odkrili Heraklejo Sintiko.[10]
