Ancient Thessalonica is the modern Greek city of Thessaloniki.

Magnesium is named for Magnesia, a district of Thessaly in Greece. The district gave its name to several distinct minerals, and the resulting confusion is why magnesium, manganese and the magnet all trace to the same place name.

Manganese is named, by a tangled route, for the same district of Magnesia in Greece. Magnesia nigra, the black ore, yielded manganese; magnesia alba yielded magnesium. The two names were used interchangeably for centuries before the metals were told apart.

Modern Greece holds Delphi, Eleusis, Olympia and Olympus.
