===Possible migration in Europe===
It has been hypothesised that some Cimmerians might have migrated into Eastern, Southeast and Central Europe,{{sfn|Olbrycht|2000a|p=71}} although this identification is presently considered very uncertain.{{sfn|Olbrycht|2000a|p=93-94}}

Proponents of a Cimmerian migration into southeastern Europe suggest that it affected as far as [[Thrace]], where between 700 and 650 BC the [[Edoni]] allied with the Cimmerians to expand their territories by occupying [[Mygdonia]] and the area up to the [[Vardar|Axios river]] at the expense of the [[Sintians]] and the [[Siropaiones]].{{sfn|Mihailov|1991|p=596}}

The proponents of this hypothesis of a Cimmerian invasion also suggest that it would have also affected south-eastern [[Illyria]], where raids by Cimmerians allied to Thracians ended the hegemony of [[Illyrians|Illyrian tribes]] around 650 BC, and possibly into [[Epirus]] as well, where distinctive Cimmerian horse trappings were found offered in dedication at the temple of [[Dodona]].{{sfn|Hammond|1982|p=263}}
