@gator153The following names of gods (theonyms) derive from possibly several languages (Liburnian, Illyrian, etc.) and are names of gods worshipped by the Illyrians. We must note that they are known through Interpretatio romana and their names may have been corrupted Anzotica Armatus Bindus Boria Eia Ica Iria Latra Malesocus Medaurus Sentona Thana Vidasus noone of the above sounds even close to any of greek gods do you have any names that i didnt found in my research?

@gator153 In Greek mythology, Illyrius was the son of Cadmus and Harmonia who eventually ruled Illyria and became the eponymous ancestor of the whole Illyrian people

so since the name illyrius is greek origin illyrians naming agreek city as a theory is just wrong also have a names origin you cant just add letters infront and at the back and have new word just think of how many words with meaning in 10 other languages you can get by doing so

[gator153]

@vharry Byllis is an illyrian/albanian word originating from the word "Yll" which means Star. There's plenty of Greek gods whose names do not bear any meaning in Ancient Greek or modern Greek but they do in Albanian.

I think instead of trying to separate Greek and Illyrians it's best to see the influence they had on one another.
