From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Sitones were mysterious, or mythical, people that perhaps is a memory of a period in which the Svear were ruled by a certain queen. They are only mentioned in Tacitus:
"Bordering on the Suiones are the nations of the Sitones. They resemble them in all respects but one - woman is the ruling sex. That is the measure of their decline, I will not say below freedom, but even below decent slavery."
