Magnisia ( Greek Μαγνησία ( f. Sg. ), Ancient Greek transcription Magnēsía ) was one of the four prefectures of the administrative region of Thessaly in Greece until 2010 . The name is derived from the name of a Macedonian tribe, the magnets . The prefecture was created in 1942 by Larisa Department . With the administrative reform of 2010 , the prefecture was abolished and divided into two regional districts ( Magnisia and Sporades , the latter includes the three island communities) of the Thessaly region, which, however, apart from the allocation of seats in the regional council, have no political significance.

geography

Magnisia, the easternmost independent landscape of Thessaly , with the mountains Ossa and Pelion , is a peninsula originally settled by Thracians , located north of Euboea on the Pagasitic Gulf.

Part of the Northern Sporades archipelago belonged to the Prefecture of Magnisia .

history

There was a Greek colony on the peninsula before. The city of the same name Magnesia on the Meander in Caria ( Ionia ), north of the Great Meander and on the eastern slope of the Thorax in Asia Minor , was founded by colonists from the Thessalian Magnesia. Another magnesia was located further north on Hermos in Lydia , which was probably also founded by the magnets .

The most important ancient city on the peninsula was Demetrias . Magnesia, like all of Thessaly, is said to have been ruled in earlier times by Pelasgians , who oppressed the peasants , the Penestas , like the Helots in Sparta . Then came the Thessalians , who, according to the old conception , should have been of Illyrian descent and immigrated from Epirus .
