TITL father of Thracians It is likely that his descendants settled in Thrace and become more associated with Javan's family and the Greeks. He was founder of the Thracians, Indo-Europeans who lived in the Balkan peninsula. The Picts descended through this line.
=== According to Josephus and the Targum, th ===
According to Josephus and the Targum, the descendants of Tiras became the Thracians. Smith (91) says that one offshoot of the Thracians were the Getae or Goths. King Darius conquered them in 515 B.C. By the time of Alexander the Great (c. 330 B.C.), they had settled the mouth of the Danube. (92) They maintained independence but in the early part of the first century B.C., united with the Dacians, thereafter harassing the Roman legions until they were conquered by Trajan in A.D. 106 and incorporated into the Roman Empire. One of the problems here is that we have no further occurrence in Scripture of Tiras. There is this one brief mention of his name and then, unlike Gomer, Meshech, or Tubal, he disappears entirely. If the Thracians were really descendants and if they were, as Rawlinson says, (93) widely scattered with many offshoots such as the Bithynians and Phrygians, one might have expected that Scripture would make some subsequent reference to Tiras. On the other hand, it may be said that a general belief exists among ethnologists, (which is, nevertheless, not susceptible of proof), that the Thracians ultimately gave origin to the Teutons. Thus Rawlinson observes: (94) The Thracian tribe of the Getae seems to have grown into the great nation of the Goths, while the Dacia (or Dacini) seem to have been the ancestors of the Danes. The few Thracian words that have come down to us are decidedly teutonic There is also a resemblance between the Thracian customs, as described by Herodotus (V, 4-8) and those which Tacitus assigns to the Germans. Once again we have to admit that these are slender lines of evidence; yet, in many respects, they have a general concordance with all else that we know of the descendants of Japheth as a whole. There is, therefore, every likelihood that the descendants of Tiras made as large a contribution to the population and civilization of Europe as the rest of his immediate family. Arthur Custance
