At an early period in the history of Greece, we hear of colonies established on the northern shore of the Pontus Euxinus or Hospitable Sea, as they named the Black Sea. In the fourth century before our era, some of these colonies united under a hereditary ''archon'' or governor, probably for the purpose of securing better protection against the barbarians who dwelt further inland. The Greeks mention these barbarians as the Scythians. | At an early period in the history of Greece, we hear of colonies established on the northern shore of the Pontus Euxinus or Hospitable Sea, as they named the Black Sea.
