Samsaris, Historical Geography of Eastern Macedonia during the Antiquity (in Greek), Thessaloniki 1976 (Society for Macedonian Studies), pp. 56–57. . in otok Lemnos, ki se je v antiki tudi imenoval 'Sinteis'.Guy Hedreen, The Image of the Artist in Archaic and Classical Greece: Art, Poetry, and Subjectivity, Cambridge University Press, 2016, , p. 137. 'Sinti' je lahko tudi poimenovanje za Tračane.J. Wiesner, Die Thraker (Stuttgart, 1963:13ff).Tukidid, Zgodovina, II.101
Sintijci so častili Hefajsta. Homer jih je v Iliadi1.594 and 18.394. omenjal kot ljudstvo, ki je skrbelo za Hefajsta na Lemnosu, potem ko so ga hromega spustili na zemljo; v Odiseji nastopajo Sintijci 'divjega govora' (),8.294 Homer, Odyssey po Homerjevemu izročilu naj bi bili ti Sintijci zaradi nerazumljivega govora nehelenskega izvora."Hephaistos is most at home among the Sintians of Lemnos, who do not even speak Greek," observes Guy Hedreen, in "The Return of Hephaistos, Dionysiac Processional Ritual and the Creation of a Visual Narrative", The Journal of Hellenic Studies 124 (2004:38–64) p. 39. Analiza Iliade pravi, da ker Sinti nimajo neposrednega religioznega konteksta (bogov nič ne prosijo), bi lahko sumili, da so bili oni tisti, ki so v nekem predhomerskem mitu rešili boga."Bruce Karl Braswell, "Mythological Innovation in the Iliad", The Classical Quarterly, New Series, 21.1 (May 1971:16–26) p. 20.
