<p>[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3238380, member: 96635"]Herodotus describes that the region was known to the Greeks of the 5th century B.C. as ιαπυγία (Iapygia) and the inhabitants as ιαπυγες (Iapygians), which were also further divided into 3 people, Daunians (Δαύνιοι), Peucetians (Πευκέτιοι) and Messapians (Μεσσάπιοι) (I can go further into the names, Μεσσά = Greek = middle, πιοι = salt water.). Herodotus describes that these people are descent from Cretans of the time of Minos. Anyway, the name ιαπυγία ended up through Oscan to the Latin word of Apulia, after a series of some name changes... from Iapygia to Iapudia to Apudia to Apulia.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that answers your question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
