Tom ElliottWatching the name "Lyncus" (Lynkos) slide around in press reports riffing on the press release about recent excavations at the "Gradishte" site near modern Crnobuki in North Macedonia.This name of a region is morphing through careless language into a possible name of the ancient settlement (no!).
