Сега по същество...
Постжам без коментари част от славната история на този град,
носил много векове името Скитополис:
"
332-152 BC -
Bet She'an was not resettled until the conquest of the East by Alexander the Great.
At this time it became a polis (Greek city-state)
and it was moved to the foot of the mound.
It then took the name by which it would be known for much of the next 900 years:
Scythopolis (city of the Scythians), or Nysa-Scythopolis.
The choice of name was typical of the efforts of citizens to forge links with Greek culture.
The Greek god of wine, Dionysus,
was said to have been accompanied on his world travels
by a contingent of guards composed of Scythians,
warriors from southern Russia.
According to Pliny the Elder, during one of these journeys Dionysus founded the town, and chose it as the burial place of his beloved wet-nurse, Nysa.
A temple to Dionysus was erected at the town's central plaza...."
