Jordanes: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

<!--

In the preface to his ''[[Getica]]'', Jordanes writes that he is interrupting his work on the ''Romana'' at the behest of a brother Castalius, who apparently knew that Jordanes had had the twelve volumes of the History of the Goths by [[Cassiodorus]] at home. Castalius would like a short book about the subject, and Jordanes obliges with an excerpt based on memory, possibly supplemented with other material he had access to. The ''Getica'' sets off with a geography/ethnography of the North, especially of [[Scandza]] (16–24). He lets the history of the Goths commence with the emigration of [[Berig]] with three ships from Scandza to [[Gothiscandza]] (25, 94), in a distant past. In the pen of Jordanes, Herodotus' Getian demi-god [[Zalmoxis]] becomes a king of the Goths (39). Jordanes tells how the Goths sacked "[[Troy]] and Ilium" just after they had recovered somewhat from the war with [[Agamemnon]] (108). They are also said to have encountered the Egyptian [[pharaoh]] [[Vesosis]] (47). The less fictional part of Jordanes' work begins when the Goths encounter Roman military forces in the third century AD. The work concludes with the defeat of the Goths by the Byzantine general [[Belisarius]]. Jordanes concludes the work by stating that he writes to honour those who were victorious over the Goths after a history of 2030 years.
