On the arrival of the English, the O'Connors were in possession of the northern part the middle parts were in the possession of the Moriartys: the southern portion was occupied by the O'Sullivans, from whom the district now named Dunkerron barony was called O'Sullivan's country also by the O'Donoghoes, distinguished into the septs of O'Donoghoe More and O'Donoghoe Ross, and by the O'Mahonys. to Robert Fitz-Stephen and Milo de Cogan, but of which these adventurers were able to make themselves masters only of the districts near the city of Cork. The great portion of the county lying to the south of the river Mang formed, with the whole county of Cork, the old native sovereignty of Desmond, or South Munster, granted by Hen. Camden calls that part of the sea into which the Shannon discharges itself Mare Brendanicum. Brandon, to whom the principal cathedral in the county was dedicated, and from whom a very remarkable mountain on the western coast takes its name. This district was sometimes denominated Ciaruidhe Luachra, or "the rocky district on the great lake or water." By some ecclesiastical writers the whole is called the country of St. The chiefs of this country were called Hy Cain air Ciaruidhe, by contraction O'Connor Kerry, whose descendants were in possession of their ancient patrimony in the beginning of the last century. Some trace it from Ciar, the eldest, son of Fergus, King of Ulster, from whom it was called Carruidhe, or Cair Reeght, that is, "the kingdom of Ciar." According to Ledwich, it was called Cerrigia, or "the rocky country," from Cerrig, or Carric, "a rock." Ciaruidhe, or "the rocky district on the water," from ciar, or cer, "a rock," and uidhe, or ui dha, "a district on the water," was the present barony of Iraghticonnor, on the south bank of the Shannon, and from which may be derived Cerrigia and Kerry. The present name of the county is variously derived. Ptolemy calls them Luceni, and they appear to be the Lugadii of Irish writers, which in a general sense comprehended all the inhabitants on the southern coast, from the harbour of Waterford to the mouth of the Shannon, though sometimes confined to those of the county of Waterford. The Lucanij, or "people of the maritime country," were placed by Richard of Cirencester in this county, near Dingle bay. O'Connor, "Siol Ebir, obviously meaning Illiberi Iberiae." They are supposed to have been descended from the Iberi of Spain, to which their country lies opposite but Camden derives their name from the British Aber, signifying an estuary, thus making it descriptive of the nature of the country. The inhabitants of this tract, according to Ptolemy's chart, were in his time designated Velabri or Vellibori "Hibernice," says Dr. It extends from 51° 40' to 52° 37' (North Lat.), and from 9° 8' to 10° 27' (West Lon.) and comprises an area, according to the Ordnance survey, of 1,148,720 acres, of which 581,189 acres are cultivated land, 552,862 are unprofitable bog and mountain, and 14,669 are under water.KERRY, a maritime county of the province of MUNSTER, bounded on the east by the counties of Limerick and Cork, on the north by the estuary of the river Shannon (which separates it from county Clare), on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south by the same ocean and the county of Cork.

There are also finds from the centuries of the early Iron Age that bear witness to the settlement of what later became Taranto in the 10th to 8th centuries BC. In the course of the Middle Bronze Age, a settlement that was permanently used for centuries developed into one of the most important trading centres of the central Mediterranean, which was in permanent contact with Mycenaean Greece, among others. However, the site of what later became Taranto was first settled as early as the Neolithic period. The history of Taranto (Latin Tarentum) begins historically in the late 8th century BC with the foundation of the Spartan Apoikia Taras. Again there are variations in the tales, in another version Taras was miraculously rescued by a dolphin in a storm and landed at the mouth of the river Taras. The same image is depicted on the modern city emblem. On coins of the ancient city of Taras, the son of Poseidon is depicted riding a dolphin, sometimes with his father’s trident in one hand. Rise and ancient splendour followed for the city. This was said to be the site of the first settlement of the Spartans, the same ones who founded the city of Taranto in 706 BC. The name is derived from the first town (Satyrion), which Taras dedicated to his mother Satyria or his wife Satureia. Even today, a port about 15 km south of Taranto (near Leporano) is called Torre Saturo. He interpreted this as a good sign and encouragement to found a city. While making a sacrifice to honour his father Poseidon, a dolphin suddenly appeared to him. According to the legend, he was the founder of the Greek settlement Taras (Tarentum), a later leading power of Magna Graecia. As a result, a cult was founded in Taras – the city that Phalanthos is said to have founded – and Brundisium in his honour.Īnother founding legend is about Taras, a son of Poseidon and the nymph Satyria, a figure from Greek mythology. According to the myth, Phalantos was saved by a dolphin (hence the depiction as a dolphin rider). Another episode reports that Phalantos and his men were shipwrecked off the coast of Italy. He found shelter with the Japygen, where he died and was also buried. Phalantos himself was also expelled after a discussion with his fellow citizens. The occupation of the area took place without much resistance from the local population, the Japygen, who were forced to flee to Brindisi. They saw better trading opportunities in the new city. Years later, the Spartan settlers moved to the future Taras. A seaside resort still exists today under the Italianised name of Saturo, a few kilometres from Taranto. So he founded his city and named it Satyrion. Since the rebels could not be sentenced to death like the slaves, they had to leave the city and seek new land.īefore leaving, Phalantos consulted the Oracle of Delphi, who, through the priestess, pronounced the following verdict: „If it will rain in clear skies, you will conquer new land and city.“ When Phalantos was on board on a long voyage towards Japygia (modern Apulia) and saw his wife crying Aithra („serene sky“), he thought that the oracle had come true. They demanded from the nobles the rights they had been denied. At the end of the 8th century BC, after a long war against the Messenians, the Parthenians, together with the slaves, organised a revolt and were led by Phalantos. As illegitimate children, they did not have equal rights and were treated as outsiders. The Parthenians were illegitimate sons born during times of war and the absence of the army. The legends of the colonisation of Taranto are handed down in detail by Pausanias and Strabon, who also quotes many earlier authors. Before that, he is said to have founded Satyrion, about 13 km southeast of Taranto. According to ancient authors, he is the founder of Taranto. Phalantos, also Phalanthos, was the son of the Spartan Aratos and leader of the Parthenians („virgin sons“). The two most common and well-known are those of Phalantos and Taras. There are various ancient foundation stories as well as mythological legends surrounding the founding of the city of Tarentum. As a result, there is a level editor with a bunch of options that can be configured. One of the big guiding principles for this game is freedom. This game is inspired by the Tanks mini-game from Wii Play - if you played that, you may be familiar with some of the tank types in this game. There are multiple types of enemy tanks, distinguished by their color, each with their own abilities. To clear a level, you must destroy all the other enemy tanks in that level. Levels are composed of enemy tanks and various obstacles. But, they move really fast and rapid fire at where the player likely will be(rather than their current location).Tanks is a top-down 2d shooter video game where you play as a tank and try to destroy other tanks, without being destroyed yourself. Like purples, they also aren't as frequent in mine droppings as yellow tanks. They are like Purple Tanks Yellow Tanks and Dark Green/ Teal tanks put together. You can identify them by the tracks they leave.īlack Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 50. They move like normal tanks, but they turn invisible and then start shooting. White Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 20. They also use a strategy and attempt to corner the player. However, the only difference here is that they are more firing-oriented than mine dropping-oriented. They are like red tanks and purple tanks put together. Purple Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 15. You will usually see these ones with a rapid fire tank(Red, Purple, White, Black). They almost never aim directly at the player tanks, but they can target the exact location of the player after bouncing off the walls. They are immobile, but their bullets are twice the speed of player tanks and bounce off the wall twice. Light Green Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 12. They move normally and they rapid fire, just like the player tanks. Red Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 10. They move rapidly and lay mines a lot, often trapping themselves and other allied tanks with them. Yellow Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 8. They also don't lay mines, and are pretty evasive of them. They usually aim directly at the player's current location at the time they generate a fire. They move normally just like Dark Brown Enemy Tanks, but they fire one bullet(twice the speed of a regular bullet) at a time. They do not lay mines, however can run into mines.ĭark Green/ Teal Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 5. They're just like the light brown enemy tanks, only they are mobile. They're the easiest to eliminate.ĭark Brown Enemy Tanks(or Grey Enemy Tanks): These tanks first appear on Mission 2. They almost always try to make their bullets hit you. These tanks are immobile and only fire one bullet at a time. Light Brown Enemy Tanks: These tanks first appear on Mission 1. Here are the enemy tanks and their abilities: However, if one player dies and the remaining player successfully eliminates the remaining tanks, both players will advance alive to the next level. In 2 Player mode, each player will have 1 life. Levels like 1-20 and every other level after that ending in a "0" are consistent. However, the amount of tanks in those never change. However, destroyed tanks will NOT be replaced. If the player dies, it will have backup lives in place and all the tank positions will be reset. You start out with 3 lives and earn an extra life for every 5 levels completed. However, the second time around, the player has 100 Missions and will end with 540 tanks if they complete all levels. In single player mode, the game first stops you at Mission 20 with 84 tanks. There are 9 types of enemy tanks in the game. The player tank can drop 2 mines at a time and can have only 5 active bullets at a time. Wii Play Tanks! is the 9th Stage on the Wii Play Disc where the player's objective is to eliminate the Enemy Tanks by either firing at the tank or dropping a mine close to the tank.
