Pelasgia

, or Pelasgiotis , a country of Greece, whose inhabitants are called Pelasgi or Pelasgiotæ . Every country of Greece, and all Greece in general, is indiscriminately called Pelasgia, though the name should be more particularly confined to a part of The aly, situate between the Peneus, the Aliacmon, and the Sperchius. The maritime borders of this part of The aly were afterwards called Magnesia , though the sea or its shore still retained the name of Pelasgicus Sinus , now the gulf of Volo . Pelasgia is also one of the ancient names of Epirus, as also of Peloponnesus. See: Pelasgi .
