Molossia

Molossia

Molossia (Molossis, a. Geogr.), der mittelste Theil von Epiros, zwischen Chaonia, Thesprotia u. Athamania, bes. durch die zur Jagd gebrauchten Molossischen Hunde bekannt; hier lag die berühmte Orakelstadt Dodona u. die alte Königsresidenz Passaron. Die Molosser waren griechischen Stammes, welche von Pyrrhos, od. von dessen u. der Andromache Sohne, Molossos, aus Thessalien hierher geführt worden u. bald das mächtigste Volk des Landes geworden waren; wegen ihrer starken Vermischung mit den barbarischen Ureinwohnern galten sie später selbst für Halbbarbaren; s.u. Epiros (Gesch.).


Pierer's Lexicon. 1857–1865.
