They were the chief workers of the gold and silver mines in the district.

Unreferenced date June 2008 In earlier times the Balkan mountains were known as the Haemus Mons Pronunciation needed needing not the original Latin Greek Hebrew etc pronunciation, but the Anglicized pronunciation that Classics Philosophy History Biblical etc. scholars use in English . It is believed that the name is derived from a Thracian language Thracian word saimon , mountain ridge , which is unattested but conjectured as the original Thracian form of Greek Haimos . Citation needed date June 2008 In antiquity, the mountain range and the area around it was populated by free Thracian peoples such as the Bessi , Dii , and Satrae . Herodotus records that an oracle shrine of Dionysus originally a Thracian god whose cult became widespread among the ancient Greeks was located atop one of its mountains. John Milton s Sylvarum Liber Naturam non pati senium , v. 29 contains a reference to lofty Haemus , Tunc etiam a rei divulsis sedibus H mi the summit even of lofty Haemus shall crumble Alexander Pope mentions Haemus in connection with Orpheus in his Ode for St. Cecilia s Day Hark Haemus resounds with the Bacchanals cries. In Greek, the Balkan Peninsula is thus known as the Peninsula of Haemus . In classical Latin poetry Haemus was drawn into association with the Roman civil wars although geographically incorrect, it was attractive most likely because it was a homonym with the Greek word for blood haema and bloody haimon , as well as for its connection to the singer Orpheus. See Lucan Civil War 6.576, 7.174, Ovid Metam. 10.77, Ex Ponto 4.5.5, Virgil Georgics 1.492. Other uses Haemus Mons is also a 10 km high mountain on the Jupiter moon Io moon Io .
