  • You must learn that,read what all the historians wrote and after try explain the whole knowlegde!

    If you do that then you will see that Epirotans were Greeks and they have nothing to do with Illyrians or you!

    Some historians supported that they were barbarians but nobody said that they were similar with bIllyrians,neither that they were Albanians!

    Learn also that Epirotes participated to the Olympic Games and in those games only the Greeks have the right to participate!

  • "The term barbarian in varius occasions,the term was also used by Greeks,especially the Athenians to derive other Greek tribes and states(such as Epirotes,Elean,Macedonians and Aeolic-speakers in pejorative and politically motivated manner."

    Greek-english lexicon,Liddell and Scott,Perseas Project,Taft Univ,USA

  • "The deluge in the time of Deucalion,forinstance,took place chietty in the Greek world and in it especially about ancient Hellas,the country about Dodona and the Achelous a river which has often changed its course.Here the Selloi and those who were formelly called Greaci and now Hellenes."

    Aristotle,Metereologika,1.14

  • "The name "Epirus" comes from the greek word "Hpeiros" meaning mainland.The Albanian name for the region deriving from the greek name."

    Liddell,Henry George,Scott,Robert-Oxford University

  • "The Epirotes thought apparently speakers of an epichoric Northwest Greek dialect and they were Greeks"

    Herodotus,Histories,6.127

    Dionysius of Halicarnasus,Roman Antiquities,10.19.11

    Pausanias,Description of Greece,1.11.7-1.12.2

    Eutropius,Roman History,book 2,XI,XIII

  • "In antiquity,Epirus was settled by the same hellenic tribes that went on to settle the rest of Greece."

  • Here is histrory with TRUTH.

  • You also failed to mention Polybius including Epirotes, with all the other Greeks, Aristotle calling Dodona Ancient Hellas, and that Herodotus mentions on several occasions that Alcon the Molossian was Greek, and that the Thessalians originally were from Thesprotia aka Epirus. Are the Thessalians Albanian or Illyrians too! LOL!

  • at 2:25 in you mention the word Aspetos in the language of the Epirotes. PLEASE PLEASE check an etymological dictionary or an ancient Greek dictionary and see what Aspetos means and where it originates. Or just google Alexander the Great: a reader By Ian Worthington on page 22. Yes he quotes Oxford. So your lame

  • Since you refer to Achilles,read the Homer's Iliad and you will see that he was GREEK prince of Thessaly and he fought with the rest of Greeks against Troyans!!

    And your opinion about Aristotelis is your bigger joke on this video!

    Nobody in the world quote something like this!!

  • "Epirus was an ancient GREEK state"

    (Wikipedia,Britanica,Americana­,Encarta encyclopedia)

    "Epirus,the oldest GREEK land"

    (Claudios Ptolemaios-2th century)

    As you can see,you must to read again the history because you know nothing!

    But this time,read the real history,the whole books which you have and not the nationalistic theories and the isolated texts of your leaders!

    And learn that,you are trying to disort history because you want to have rights in this area,but the truth don't leave you!!

  • "Pyrrus was a GREEK general of the Hellenistic era.He was the king of the GREEK tribe of Molossians,of the royal Aaecid house and later he became king of Epirus and Macedon"

    (Pyrrus by Plutarch

    Wikipedia encyclopedia

    Britanica encyclopedia

    Jones Archer and Eugene Borza have the same opinion!

    "Pyrrus was the son of Greek king of Molossia,Aaecid and Pythia,a GREEK women from Thessaly"

    (Pyrrus by Plutarch)

    As you can see,Plutarch write clearly about the greek origin of Pyrrus!!

  • "The Epirotes,thoung apparently speakers of an epichoric Northwest GREEK dialect"

    "Thesprotians,Chaonians and the Molossians were the three principal clusters of GREEK-speaking tribes of Epirus"

  • "Epirus is a greek name and it signifies "mainland" or "continent".Epirus was settled by GREEKS early in the first millenium but remained a frontier area contested with the Illyrians peoples of the Adriatic coast"(Wikipedia-Britanica encyclopedia)

    If Epirotans were not Greeks whyb their name derived from the greek language?

  • Η ΗΠΕΙΡΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΙ ΘΑ ΝΑΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΟΣΟ ΚΙ ΑΝ ΤΟ ΘΕΛΕΤΕ ΜΠΑΣΤΑΡΔΙΑ ΑΛΒΑΝΟΙ!!!

  • you say that you did not bend to the turks, there is no connection betwen the old Greeks and you. The athens during the otoman empire was inhabited by turks and their slaves including some albanians and greeks. whetever is in your blood tobay may be but not greek, what i do not like is that there you want it or not there is some albanian blod as well, in the form of arvanites that now say have Gayreek concence. Is like to say I am and lion with a rat concenece.

  • Dykefalos at once up your ass,

    is not youre blame as your gay preist is makin the histery/history of grece however tthey want and you are the ignorants that beleive all they say.

    Grece still is full of albanians young and old, some call themseve arvanites and some are the newcomers the alvani, you should be proud of them as africans are coming there lately and they look more like native greeks.

    If there is a bigger lie in this planet it is your histery,i mean history-that is what you are,a lie.

  • listen....i'm albanian and i'm proud to be one....but all this is bullshit......

    fuck your lesbian, gay mother called greece

  • Epirotes and Macedonians both talk about military triumphs against Illyrian tribes.. they clearly distinguish them as outsiders, plus it's nice that you like to give examples of how the modern day Albanian language has Latin/ Greco and Slavic roots.. ands that because you were always under another empire, Roman Byzantine and slavic invasions...

    you people have nothing to do with Greece and as for your claims of Illyrian decent... I don't know what the fuck you inbreds are talking about..

  • Just watch what the ancient historians and geografers wrote ...greeks don't exsist anymore.there are only some mix turkopontianoslavovlachoarvani­tes in today Greece.

  • ok dick head.... and your decendants of the Illyrians... whatever dude, you people are such a sad race of people...

  • they did occupy us for 400 years, but guess what.. we didnt loose our identity, our religion nor our language.. as a matter of fact Greeks were the most flourishing peoples in the ottoman empire, as independent peoples, we didnt wanna join the ranks of the ottomans like the albanians did.you read? Ottomans stated, Albanians were the most backwards peoples and the Greeks the ones who flourished the most. ex. shipping, merchants/ trade. so bend over and take this double dick!!in your ass and mouth

  • hard about skanderbeg who fought the turks was he albanian by any chance or you want to call him greek too

    which dig are you talking about gay , you can only fuck with your srse

  • Double headed dig

    As per religion we have an albanian identity and live 4 religions in harmony something you cant do < im orthodox myself but not greek.

    Bending over and taking the dig in the mouth is a greek tradition

    as the english say DON'T BE GREEK

  • Bend over and take the double dig in your ass and mouth ? I think those greek gay fantasies are now starting to work you like it double up you ass dont you faggot?

  • @Dykefalos for someone who comes from a country where more than half the population resemble pakistanis, where the so called "greek" nation consists of arvanites, slavs, ancient greeks, persians, arabs, turks and even african, a true multiracial cocktail of a nation. you cite us some gypsy gayreek historian blowing his own trumpet, lets talk reall credible sources gyppo! same invaders we had you embraced and collaborated wholeheartedly so slavs, turks and latin ran your hairy asses for centuries

  • Gjergj Kastrioti in a letter to the italian prince Xhovani-Antonio Orsini in 31.10.1460 said

    ".. ne jemi epirot, dhe, siç duhet ta dini, paraardhes tanët kanë kalur në kohë të ndryshme nëpër vendin që mbani ju sot dhe janë ndeshur me romakët ndër beteja të mëdha, dhe[aty, në kronikat] kemi gjetur se më të shumtën e herës janë ndarë më nder se me turp. "

    just like kosovas time came, so will çamerias time... i hope arvanitasit wake up soon..

  • Epirus (Qamrija) was and is Albanian land that was stolen. We will never forget our qamrija and especially the massacres their dogs angetahn the Albanians did. in the near future, the area back under Albanian konkrolle, then you allah merciless.

  • ah... and beleive me.. do not ask for the bill...

    i am sure that after some years it will be prooved tha most of the italians are albanian too, and frankfurt belongs to skopjie, and beijing is turkish... good work... keep it moving..

  • Inscriptional evidence of the Chaones is lacking until the Hellinistic period; but Ps-Scylax, describing the situation of c. 380-360 put the Southern limit of the Illyrians just north of the Chaones, which indicates that the Chaones did not speak Illyrian, and the acceptance of the Chaones into the Epirote alliance in the 330s suggest strongly that they were Greek-speaking

    The Cambridge Ancient History - The Expansion of the Greek World, Eighth to Sixth Centuries B.C.P Mack Crew Page 284

  • The West Greek dialect group denotes the dialects spoken in: (i) the northwest Greek regions of Epeiros, Akarnania, Pthiotid Akhaia.

    Johnathan M. Hall, Ethnic Identity in Greek Antiquity, Cambridge University Press, 1997

    Alexander was King Philips eldest legitimate child. His mother, Olympias,came from the ruling clan of the northwestern Greek region of Epirus.

    David Sacks, A Dictionary of the Ancient Greek World, Oxford, 1995

  • Certainly the Thracians and the Illyrians were non-Greek speakers, but in the northwest, the peoples of Molossis {Epirot province}, Orestis and Lynkestis spoke West Greek. It is also accepted that the Macedonians spoke a dialect of Greek and although they absorbed other groups into their territory, they were essentially Greeks.

    Robert Morkot, The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Greece,Penguin Publ., 1996

  • Just like Macedonia, Epirus was inhabited by several tribes; some of them were Greek beyond any doubt

    Molossians, Selloi, Hellenes, Grakoi, ... were Greek.

    Now, was ANY of non-Greek tribes ever lived in Epirus called by ANYONE as (ethnic) Epirotan ?

    If yes, then we shall consider the term Epirotan as geographic, if not then Epirotans were Greek.

  • Hilding Thylander from [Swedish humanistic institution starts his book "The greek world" with a study on the pre-indoeuropean cultures of Greece. "Back in 1958, new excavations were made in Biotia, Elis (Fthiotida), Epirus, the Ionian Islands and Thessali. It's clear that those lands were inhabited by Hellinic tribes before 20 000 B.C".

  • The oldest archaelogical evidence that show the Greekness of the Epirotans was a Prehistoric vase as also and the tumulus consrtuction. Kantharos-shaped cup from grave 5 of tumulus A at Merope-Pogonion (district of Ioannina). Traces of black paint are preserved on the lower part of the body (h. 0,184 m.).Tumulus are built in the classical mucenean (as called) and found not only in Epirus but also and in Macedonia.

    Both are dated to the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 10th century B.C.

  • "The deluge in the time of Deucalion, for instance, took place chiefly in the Greek world and in it especially about ancient Hellas, the country about Dodona and the Achelous, a river which has often changed its course. Here the Selli dwelt and those who were formerly called Graeci and now Hellenes."

    Aristotle Meteorologica

  • The Illyrian iris also grew in this valley, which

    was prized by the Greeks (Beaumont 1936). The Greeks, being a seafaring people, also

    desired to import ship-timber from Epirus and bitumen which was found near Selenicë

    (south east of Apollonia) in Illyris (Hammond 1982b; Hammond 1992).

  • The Illyrian tribes were organized in a patriarchal society and were ruled by a

    hereditary monarchy along with a warrior class. Excavation of Illyrian tumuli, especially

    of the aristocratic or warrior graves, has resulted in the recovery of impressive metal

    weapons and jewelry, showing a mastery of metal prior to Greek contact (Hammond

    1982b).

  • (Tumuli was ONLY in Illyrians,Epirotes and Macedonians usance!!!!!NOT FOR THE GREEKS!!!!!

  • The Illyrians crafted pottery, tools, weapons, and ornaments (Prifti 1986).

    Perhaps by coincidence alone, the fully developed use of iron among the Illyrians by the

    eighth century B.C.E. coincides with the beginning of contact with the Greeks (Wilkes

    1995).

  • GREEK EXPANSION: MIGRATION AND COLONIZATION

    Beginning before the ninth century B.C.E. and continuing until the rise of the

    Roman Empire, Greek people expanded throughout the Mediterranean and along the

    Black Sea. Greek expansion was a combination of both migration and colonization. Prior

    to 850 B.C.E. the movement of people was primarily migratory as the Greek mainland,

    principal Aegean islands, and the western seaboard of Asia Minor were settled.

  • Why greeks colonised Corcyra,Apollonia and Epidamnos ONLY by the sea and not from the land,if Epirus was ....greek territory?????

  • The

    second phase is the colonial movement, which began about 750 B.C.E. and continued

    until about 550 B.C.E. (Gwynn 1918; Hammond 1975). The final phase of Greek

    expansion involves the Macedonian kings and the Hellenization of the East, which was

    accomplished by Alexander (Gwynn 1918).

  • The process of Greek colonization, particularly in

    the area to the north of Greece known in the Classical Age as Illyria. While many Greek

    city-states (poleis) participated in founding colonies throughout the Mediterranean and

    along the Black Sea, it was Corinth that founded the major colonies in the Adriatic and in

    Illyria.

  • "Arha Ellas apo Oricias kai arhegonos Ellas Epiros"

    "Greece starts at Oricus and the most ancient part of Greece is Epirus."

    Claudius Ptolemy

  • The earliest

    Greek colonists did not immediately displace the native tribes in Illyria and Epirus and

    they did not try to Hellenize them, but they allowed their separate social organization and

    customs to continue unimpeded (Gwynn 1918).

  • Ancient writers make a very clear segregation between Illyrians and Epirotans.I begin with Strabo

    ... beginning at the recess of the Adriatic and extending as far as the Sacred Mouth of the Ister. In this country are Greece and the tribes of the Macedonians and of the Epeirotes, and all those tribes above them whose countries reach to the Ister and to the seas on either side, both the Adriatic and the Pontic � to the Adriatic, the Illyrian tribes, ...

    Strabo,Geography, 7,V

  • As the falsification of ancient textes is a kind of propaganda the same is the habit to keep whatever u want from textes and to hide what ever u don't!All of your quotes have the same problem!And this is a very serious problem because these quotes followed by words or phrases which gives further infos which guide to a tottally different conclusion tfrom yours!We can examine them one by one tif u wish it!Sorry man but your own arguments proves that Illyrians and Epirutes were differents people

  • Modern Hellenics:

    Από εδώ αρχίζει η Ελλάδα που φτάνει έως τον ποταμό Πηνειό και το Ομόλιο, πόλη των Μαγνήτων,που βρίσκεται στον ποταμό αυτό

    My language is the continuity of the ancient Hellenic language and this give me the abilite to have the honor and pleasure to read ancient Hellenic textes in their ancient form!

  • And if u prefer there is a better explanation in modern Hellenic which is exactly the sam withe ancient!!!take a look:

    Από εδώ η Ελλάδα συνεχής είναι μέχρι τον Πηνειό ποταμό και το Ομάλιο,Μαγνητική πόλη,που είναιι δίπλα στον ποταμό

  • Ancient Hellenics

    Ἐντεῦθεν ἄρχεται ἡ Ἑλλὰς συνεχὴς εἶναι μέχρι Πη-

    νειοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ Ὁμολίου Μαγνητικῆς πόλεως, ἥ

    ἐστι παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν

  • And don't make speak about the wrong translation of the ancient texts!!!For example Skylax worte:

    From here begins Greece which reaches to the river Pinios and Omolios,town which belongs to Magnites,located in this river.

    Pinios is in the era of Thessaly!That means that it is south-east from Ambrakia

    So where do u find the words "From there and down is Hellas no end"??The falsification of ancient texts is equal to propaganda!!!And if u want to see the real ancient text it following...

  • LOL...U r so addicted to prove that Epirutes were not Hellenes that u loose even your final target!Ok lets say that according to all these ancient sources Epirutes weren't Hellenes!But According to them Epirutes weren't not Illyrians too!Everywhere and according to everyone of them Illyrians was somethnig tottaly different from Epirutes!None of them said or wrote that Epirutes were an Illyrian tribe!!!So how do u connect,according to ancients authors,with Illyrians?There is no logic in this!!

  • Epirus, though mostly held by people of Grecian speech and lineage... Herodotus however, among earliest, and Plutarch, among late ancient historians, clearly reckon the Molossians a Grecian people. Some expressions of Thucydides and Strabo may perhaps be construed either way. But, as it has been formerly observed, Herodotus, Thucydides, and Strabo concur in showing that all Greece was of mixed population;

    The history of Greece, by lord Redesdale By William Mitford

  • Whereas this did not happen with the Persians or the Egyptians, it did wit the Molossians (who were probably ethnically/linguistically Greek-see bellow). In other words what may have begun as poetic or erudite inventions caught on. For the Molossians, for example, Greek heroic origins ceased to be merely a matter for Greek-centered erudite Ethnography of the Other but were incorporated and adopted y that other.

    The Return of Odysseus: Colonization and ethnicity by Irad Malkin

  • The Epirotes, who may fairly be considered as Greeks by blood, long maintained a rugged independence under native chiefs, who were little more than leaders in war.

    A Manual of Greek Antiquities

    Book by Percy Gardner, Frank Byron Jevons; Charles Scribners Sons, 1895, page 8

    P.S. I can write all night long quotes from famous academics non Greeks that all of them said that Epirus and Epirotes were Greeks.

  • Ask Strabo about...and most of ancient scolars.Epirotes can't be greeks and pelasgians in the same time.

  • ask Pierre Cabanes(was Cabanes that said to us the non presence of any greek colonie in Buthrotum-Butrint) and most of the stone texts are in doric and not in Ionic with the life of the ancient people that was too different from the greeks!

  • Herodotus of Halicarnassus wrote:

    Hellespont, who before that had been settlers with the Athenians, and of the natives of the various other towns which are really Pelasgian, though they have lost the name. If one must pronounce judging by these, the Pelasgians used to speak a Barbarian language. If therefore all the Pelasgian race was such as these, then the Attic race, being Pelasgian, at the same time changed and became Hellenic, unlearnt also its language.

  • Dorians wasn't Greeks mallakastrioti ? Wow what a theory! Pls amuse us (sorry i meant enlighten us) . What were they? Albanians perhaps? :)

    You cant change history my friend neither the truth. :)

    P.S. Forgive me my Albanian friends.I highly respect your people and your history as a ancient race at Balkans but with somethings the only you can do is to laugh.

  • Many Pelasgians gradually became Greeks. Greeks was not a specific race but a combination of races with common origin who came to greece and mixed with older populations like Pelasgians.

  • So you accept that the Pelasgians were not greeks...they became or were in part assimilated by greeks.The same that happend with vlachs,arvanites,and slavs?...because the "greek cause " is not an race,but many races under the same faith.

    Common origin?...you are so contradictor,how can be an vlach equal with an pontian,or with the slav,or with an arvanites?...mix populatin in ancient time till today?...wow really intresting.

  • The Molossians were the strongest and, decisive for Macedonia, most easterly of the three most important Epeirot tribes... They were Greeks, spoke a similar dialect to that of Macedonia, suffered just as much from the depredations of the Illyrians and were in principle the natural partners of the Macedonian king who wished to tackle the Illyrian problem at its roots.

    Malcolm Errington, A History of Macedonia, California University Press, 1990.

  • Theopompus knew fourteen Epirote tribes, speakers of a strong west-Greek dialect, of which the Chaones held the plain of Buthrotum, the Thesproti the plain of Acheron, and the Molossi the plain of Dodona, which forms the highland centre of Epirus with an outlet southwards to Ambracia.

    N.G.L.Hammond, Oxford Classical Dictionary, 3rd ed. (1996), pp.546,547

  • Certainly the Thracians and the Illyrians were non-Greek speakers, but in the northwest, the peoples of Molossis {Epirot province}, Orestis and Lynkestis spoke West Greek. It is also accepted that the Macedonians spoke a dialect of Greek and although they absorbed other groups into their territory, they were essentially Greeks. Robert Morkot, The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Greece,Penguin Publ., 1996

  • Speakers of these various Greek dialects settled different parts of Greece at different times during the Middle Bronze Age, with one group, the northwest Greeks, developing their own dialect and peopling central Epirus. This was the origin of the Molossian or Epirotic tribes.

    His Origins

    Epirus

    The territory of Epirus was the mountainous coastal region of modern north-western Greece and southern Albania. To the north was Illyria and to the east Macedonia. To the Greeks the Epirotes were barbarians, although their ancestry was Dorian. Epirus was a poor land, rich only in warriors. The dominant tribe of Epirus were the Molossians.

    Aristotle wrote in his work Meteorologica:

    "The deluge in the time of Deucalion, for instance, took place chiefly in the Greek world and in it especially about ancient Hellas, the country about Dodona and the Achelous, a river which has often changed its course. Here the Selli dwelt and those who were formerly called Graeci and now Hellenes."
