 Scythia.  Where's a reference for that, Diarmaid?  I couldn't find any in my 
 one decent Greek mythology/history book, and I'm curious now. :)

Ok....I like the general feel for this. I gave a list of local raptors, 
anyone wanna give a list of monsters or fantastic creatures that were thought 
to inhabit wide open country or thinly populated areas? That might be worth 
taking into consideration for future discussions, on and offline.
Getting folks involved in the creation of symbols and traditions is a great 
outlet for patriotism.
