ÃŽn Dacia preistorică , publicată în 1913, Nicolae DensuÈ™ianu scria că grecii „ aveau o tradiÈ›iune, că înainte de denÈ™ii a domnit peste pămentul ocupat de ei un alt popor, care a desecat mlaÈ™tinile, a scurs lacurile, a dat cursuri noue rîurilor, a tăiat munÈ›ii, a împreunat mările, a arat È™esurile, a întemeiat oraÈ™e, sate È™i cetăți, a avut o religiune înălțătore, a ridicat altare È™i temple deilor, È™i că aceÈ™tia au fost Pelasgii ”.
