Ancient Macedonian words in Homer's Iliad
In the Iliad and Odyssey, attributed to Homer, the great multitude of non-Greek people living around Olympus and further north in Europe were described as being as, Numerous as the leaves in the forests with chariots and weapons decorated with gleaming gold and silverlike gods.
The Pelazgian people are clearly described in Homeric poems as non-Greek, with their own language and traditions totally different from Greek. They inhabited the Balkan Peninsula (known by the names Macedonians, Thracians, Illyrians, etc.) and they spread throughout south-eastern Europe (under the common name Scythians).
What is most interesting about Homers stories, especially the Iliad, is that they were originally written in the prehistoric Macedonian language
The Ancient Macedonian language (provisional ISO-DIS 639-1,2 I 3 3.5 XMK) was the tongue of the ancient Macedonians. It was spoken especially in the inland regions of Macedon, away from the coast, during the 1st millennium BC, surviving into the early centuries of the Common Era
* "Who is Homer?"[1]
* "multiple or single authorship?"[2]
* "By whom, when, where, and under what circumstances were the poems composed?"[3]

To these questions the possibility of archaeological answers have added a few more:

* "How reliable is the tradition embodied in the Homeric poems?"[4]
* "How old are the oldest elements in Homeric poetry which can be dated with certainty?"

Now if we take all of this into consideration and observe Homer from the point of view of the oral tradition, which was handed down from antiquity to classical times when it was first recorded, we may say that the final product was a work of many authors who have retold the epic poem over and over again, over the centuries, adding to it words from various languages!
More evidence that gives credence to the existence of an ancient prehistoric Macedonian civilization comes to us from ancient literature. One such source that greatly influenced our impression of the ancients and inspired Alexander the king of Macedonia to seek adventure was Homer’s epic poems. About five hundred years after the Trojan Wars, Homer wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. Homerâ's work captivated his audience with events that.
Homer was born in the 8th century B.C. and created true literary masterpieces that are enjoyed as much today, as they were in the days of Alexander the king of Macedonia. Originally, Homerâ's stories were folktales told and retold for millenniums until they were immortalized in print in the 6th century B.C."

  • You are a liar and you play with your people' feelings. Shame on you. If you don't respect greek people, at least respect your own people.

    I noticed that in ancient greek you write always "the dictionary did not find any matching word."Of course animal. Homer didn't write. We know his poems, because Athenians wrote them in 8th century. Hallooooooo!!! Homer's poems ARE WRITTEN IN ANCIENT GREEK!!!

  • ancient Macedonians were not slavs

    dont you people have any shame for your lies and propaganda?

see all

  • this video is at least rediculous. How many lies you need in order to distort history? Macedonia is Greece! Nobody can change it.

  • @sunfromGovrlevo

    Actually the ancient Macedonian language was

    a Hybrid Aeolic / Doric Greek dialect

    of the north-western Greek language

    and was later modified by Philip to

    Attic Greek.

  • @sunfromGovrlevo Many mistakes-lies on your video,all in your video are lies!Homer was Greek right?Right! Illiad and Odyssey wrote in Greek language,right?Right!You show to us the greekness of your language and the greekness of english!example one of your lies,the Homer said ''Παυσάμενοι''(pausamenoi),Σπά­ζω(Spazo)in greek means break-smash-crack not pause,pause is greek word from the word ''Παύση'',you know what is mean!You make videos with many mistakes all are lies,SHAME!

  • Pointless video...you put up Greek words found in Homer's Iliad and because these words passed on through Slavic dialects you proclaim that there is a separate "ancient Macedonian" language...of course the language of the people living in FYROM use in their dialect Greek words as the use Latin based and mostly Slavic based words...every language which derives from Slavic, German or Latin uses Greek words...not only the language spoken in FYROM today...that doesn't make it "ancient"...

  • ΜΑΚΕΔΩΝΕΣ - ΜΑΚΕ+ ΔΩΡΙΟΙ - TALL DORIANS (IN GREEK)

    MAKEDONSKI = MAKE+DONKEY = BIG DONKEY (IN SKOPJE OR FRYOM)

    YOU ARE ABOUT AS MUCH OF A LINGUIST AS MY PARROT. ANCIENT MAKEDONIANS WERE GREEKS NOT SLAVS. DI HOMER WRITE IN ANCIENT MAKEDONKEY TOO? IS THERE ANCIENT MAKEDONKEY WRITING THAT SAYS ALEKSANDAR MAKEDONSKI ANYWHERE? YOU SLAVS ARE ONLY AS REAL AS YOUR IMAGINATION AND PROPAGATED HISTORY. WE ARE GREATLY HONOURED BY YOUR LOVE FOR GREECE BUT SLAVS HAVE GOOD PEOPLE TOO YOU KNOW.

  • greta video here is your homer you dont trust him gayreeks

  • I'm a bard motherf***** I'm a bard!

    I'm a bard motherf***** I'm a bard!

    Haha get it??? :D (I'm referring to the TobyTurner video, except that Homer was a bard, so...)

  • Stop making fools of yourselves reeeeee... most of the Europeans even the Egyptians know about Makedonia and they are making fun of you. Show some dignity for god sake!

  • @BERZITI ) -> note that turks have have used a mix of the Greco-Albanian form, to become the Turkish Arnavut – Arna ( dropping the “b” from Albanian form Arbnesh, thus Arna + vut from Greek Arvanite)

    In Albanian

    Arë (ë is not pronounced) means field

    bene/bere: is a verb which means” making” in English

    Arbene= where “Field makers”, just like the Pelasgians. Pelasgian were described as people cultivating agriculture=field making in Albanian….
