can't be right edit

In Thucydides I 11:1 he refers to the Achaeans farming the Khersonese to support themselves during the Trojan War. What he means by Khersonese can't possibly be the Malay Peninsula. What does your source say about Thucydides? Or else you need an extra section showing that in his time they used Khersonese for a place in Anatolia, not southeast Asia. 100.15.117.207 (talk) 13:48, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Gibbon edit

Gibbon refers to the Tauric Chersonese. Search for this on Google, and you get directed to an article about the Taurians and Scythians. This is where Iphigeneia was rescued by her brother Orestes. It is plainly a region that Greeks and Latins would have known about. You don't have the evidence that would support your claim that they knew about the Malay Peninsula. 100.15.127.199 (talk) 14:52, 22 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
