40000 BC Life from of some sort of humanoids on the island can be traced back to Milena's ago as far as prehistory and back 40 000 years.
4000 BC Neolithic than marks its self on Hvar in the form of 6000 year old terracotta remains and design which is specific to Hvar and mainland near the town of Sibenik, and has thus gained name the HVAR DANILO culture. (A contemporary writer has researched the theme and in his book proposes how that culture used to be into adoration of a mother goddess with enormous breasts and hips with a philosophy of living with no violence and living only for pleasure, making love and dancing.)
2000 BC New warrior tribes named Ilirians take over the lands which now form Croatia of which one of the tribes where the ARDIYEYCI after whom the Adriatic Sea has been named.
7000-400BC During the last millennium Before Christ the Greeks had developed a fine culture, surpassed their neighbours in terms of technology and often dared to travel and investigate the Adriatic Sea. To them the Adriatic was a frightful wast expanse of land and sea populated by incomprehensible barbarians.
Many of the adventures later descirbed by Homer in The ODYSSEY in fact are assumed to be adventures encountered in the Adriatic, Archaeologists indeed theorise that in fact THE CYCLOPS one eyed giant must have come from Hvar island. Homer Describes how the Greeks landed on an island where they encountered a one eyed giant living in a cave. In the south of the island _Hvar there is a Cave named GRAPČEVA ŠPILJA around which a race of people 2.5 meter in height where found buried. At the time of the encounter with the gints the Greeks where smaller in height and even today 2.5 meters is enormous and beyond normal height . The geographic descriptions as to the location of this giants cave also appears to place Cyclops on Hvar.
400 BC A Greek tyrant and warrior called Dinosos the elder managed to conquer Syracuse and take Sisely. He makes his base there and than heads forth on to the Adriatic with intent to stay. Dynosus concurs the island south of HVar and now called VIS, deriving from the original name Dynosus gave his new colony ISSA. Dynosus invites all Greeks to than colonise the Adriatic assuring his assistance in defending any new colonies fromed.
On his invitation colonists from Pharos back in Greece, 388BC land on the island Hvar, in a enormous natural bay perfect for protecting their ships on the north of the island, surrounded by very fertile lands, they built a town and apply the Greek land division method to share the new found land. The new colony they name PHAROS.
Pharos is surrounded by and co-exists on the same island with the original Illirian population with who the plenty of un wanted encounters with the nation of pirates.
A century and half after the colony was the New colony a Greek Named Demetrius is born who fights the troublesome Ilirians and gains hims self the honour of leading the colony Pharos, with support of the neighbouring Romans who where themselves in the process of expanse..
Demetrius however switches policies and looses the Romans friendship by marrying the Queen and Wife of dead ilirian King Aragon and so comes to be ruler and king of a large territory encompassing islands in the north Adriatic, and wast inland territories , to the south with a large navy and ambitions to expand. .
Demitrious having taken ower some roman territories however was stopped in his tracks by the Romans who fearing Demetriouses ambition attacked PHAROS, and after a large battle at sea which produced many casualties, and during whixh they took thoussands of slaves, slaves, the Romans destroyed Pharos City walls as a lesson and than took ower Dimitriuses Territories on the Adriatic and so began a Roman invasion and the over taking if what are now Croatian territories, which eventualy and after many bloodey battles with aborigine peoples became Roman privinces until Roman empire fell in the 7th century AD.
