Struma
The Struma, called the Strymon in antiquity, is a river that rises near Sofia in Bulgaria and flows south about 415 km through Greece to the Aegean Sea near Amphipolis. Its valley was home to Paeonian and Thracian peoples, and its lower course was rich in timber and close to the gold and silver mines of Mount Pangaion, which Athens and Macedon fought to control.
