Review of the knowledge on the foundation of the city of Thasos by the colonists from Paros and their settlement on the mainland: literary sources are re-examined in the light of recently acquired archaeological data, which make it possible to better characterize the pre-Greek Thracian environment, the main motive for the colonization (the metal resources) and to describe the topography of the Greek city at its beginnings. (Extract from the English version of the catalogue of the temporary exhibition of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki)
