Lemnos
Lemnos (Limnos) is an island in the northern Aegean Sea. The people of Lemnos are called Lemnians, but the island's first inhabitants were the Thracian Sinties or Sintians, who some say were the same as the Saii who lived in Samos in earlier times and also held the adjacent mainland. Lemnos is sacred to Hephaestus; for when Zeus cast him out of heaven, the god of the smiths fell on this island, and having broken his legs, was taken care by the Sintians.
