greeks just have taken it from turks. coz they lived in turkey for some times. thats why!!!

[pontian69]

That sounds good, if I were ignorant and just believed anything!! Have you not seen the "endless" Greek Orth Churches and Monastery's in the region (Karadeniz)? if their were more Turks as you say were are the Mosques? Hmmm intresting something for you to think about!! Kardashim!

What a shame the 1 World War. Separated peoples who where living together.

Mixt culture is the most nice thing.

I like you Greek brothers.

Let people people talk's!!!

[RebeccaAth]

the Greeks must be proud of their POntian brothers...the Pontians are the most original Greeks...fullstop!

@guptanicky just to make a bit wider your area of knowledge in ancient greek history. This dance was danced by Achillies at the funeral of Patroclus where he burned his body to honor him. Also where it took its name. Fire=Πυρ (Pirixios) Also found in sayings of Homer and Xenophon(I guess you know about them).

Pontians is not Greeks. Pontian is 'Ne mutlu Türküm Diyene' Now Palikarya is in Economic Crisis. They have no force. They are losing their claim.......  Greeting from Eskişehir Turkey. Pontaic brothers. ... Ha ha...

[Nastavnikable]

@guptanicky This is ancient Spartan war dance. it kept Pontian Greeks. In those days there were no Turks. they have not got out of the caves.

[MrJuliobob]

good to know people still appreciate quality pontic dancing

[patelarxios]

So Guptanicky you say this is flokloric dancing and is not any greek game ...........

Learn this is Pirixios dance (xoρος της φωτιας).Pirixios is war dance and dancing with weapons.ARISTOFANIS (450 bc - 388bc) says This was army dance and dancing with weapons.PLATON (427-347bc) says Was a war dance with defence phase and attack phase.OMHROS says that was the most important dance ever.Pirixios after years take the name SERRA because dancing mostly at Trapezountas river Serra.
