Tymphaea

[1][2] The tribal territory was annexed by and became a province of the Kingdom of Macedon, specifically Upper Macedonia, in the 4th century BC.

[3] Due to the fact that Greek toponyms that preserve archaic features are very densely found in the wider area, it appears that speakers of the proto-Greek language inhabited a region which included Tymphaea before the late Bronze Age migrations (late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C) during several centuries or even millennia before.

[4] Tymphaea and its Greek inhabitants, the Tymphaioi, were named after Mount Tymphe.

[3][6] The most famous native of Tymphaea was Polyperchon, regent of Alexander III (r. 336–323 BC).

[8] They worshipped Zeus under the name “Deipaturos” probably as the god of their mountain, Tymphe.
