Trapani is a city in Sicily, Italy that was founded way back in time by a group of people called the Elymians. Their Iron age history is basically the same as that of their nearby Sicani neighbors; and they adopted the Greek alphabet into their own language, a language no one has been able to translate to this day. Some Sicilians will tell you they are the same as the Greeks, probably because their histories intertwine.
