Nomos was an Ancient Greek term that was used for a broad range of societal or socio-political norms or laws in the city-states of that time. [4] This was the basis for the literary claims that Hellenes were different or morally superior to the "warlike" and "bloodthirsty" tribes of the Thracians, who were accused of intemperate drunkenness, immorality and uninhibited sexuality.
