So alexander the great was also an Epirote ?

[@blockie9706]

I don't get these pathetic 13 years old nationalist greeks, they think every person who lived in Balkan in ancient times was greek, now they say Illyrian king Pyrrhus was greek lmao, you say that Alexander the great was greek just because he was allowed to play in Olympic games (that was only for greeks), well that means that Pyrrhus wasn't greek, because greeks didn't allow him to play in Olympic games and called them "barbar" which means non-greek , and when he was little boy some people has tried to kill him and to take his throne, he has gone to Illyrian King of Taulanti "Glauku" (Glaucias) and he saved Pyrrhus, all the facts show that Pyrrhus and Epirus was Illyrian (Albanian).

great video. minor corrections. Pyrrhus did not lose all of his Italian holdings in 275 as he still controlled Taras (Tarentum), leaving garrison there commanded by Milon. he ruled Makedon and Thessaly until his death in 272, as opposed to 285, which would be impossible as it is going back chronologically. during 3rd Makedonian War, Molossians decided to side with Makedon whilst Thesprotians and Chaonians supported Rome. this brought Roman wrath upon Molossians (central Epeiros), in 167 it was thoroughly pillaged, some 150k were enslaved. kudos was popularising the ancient history, fantastic effort!

Ok so one question for you Albanians: If the Great powers wanted to give Epirus to Greece, then why did they give north epirus to you despite the fact greece managed to capture it before albanians and held it for several years???

[@dimostychalas9716]

Just one sort and simple answer

[@Eagle_data]

same thing goes to Kosovo,North Epirus resisted like Gjakova a part that did not get conquered by the serbians which afterwards split into the Gjakova in Kosovo and Tropoja which survived the annexation of Kosovo and it became part of Albania these two parts had the same issue but they are still Albanian

[@dionissevo6098]

Greece would take all the south albania but america didnt allow her like serbia would take all albanian north.. They gave north epir to albania because america insisted.. But usa president couldnt make nothing for south epir because france and england wanted to give it to greece. I got a question for you my greek friend too.. How is possible that albanian language is spoken in all epirus north and south too where did ancient greek language go why doesnt the inhabitants speak ancient greek.. We know that we are authoctone because all the historians agree in this part of history.. And why all the arvanites the most famous people on greece those who gave freedom to greece and fought bravely all spoke arvanitika(albanian) and all of them wore fustanella like albanian traditional dress and all their songs are in albanian.. Although I dont speak greek language I understand very well arvanites language even today because is the same language as mine.. Why only these people spoke albanian and the other part of greeks didnt.. I know that they hate albanians now but the brainswash that orthodox church has made to them who has cursed albanian language and said to them that you are greeks because you are orthodox was succesful.. Iam from south albania (north epirus) and all my family is orthodox but I know that Iam not greek because my language is albanian and my culture and tradition are albanian too.. We albanians dont take religion too seriosly we are muslims orthodox and catholics.. But the first thing above all is that we are albanian.. Facts are fact and are objective we cannot allow ourselves to be subjective in history... You can say that arvanites fought for the greece and it is true because for 5 centuries greece was their homeland and it is true that they fought against muslim albanians that otoman empire send to crush greek revolution.. Its a fact I cant deny it..We albanians have killed each other for many centuries even today.. But their blood is albanian and their language and their tradition and their behaviour and their dress and their culture.. They were distinct from the rest of population.. Its a shame that our nations have these bad relationships with each other.. I hope that some day we make peace and live in harmony ..

[@dimostychalas9716]

@@dionissevo6098 Ok so first of all keep it sort. Albanians is spoken in epirus as much as Greek is spoken in Albania. There was a lot of migration from one region to another as far back as the late Byzantine years. This explains why there are albanians villages in the northern part of Greek epirus, and Greek villages in southern albania. *There were no borders back then.* As for you country, we can all agree there is a *big* religious problem with it. And because you are all different believers, you try to keep your state together by creating nationalistic propagandas to keep you distracted with your real problem, much like the Nazis did. Such propagandas include: The Arvanites; which are indeed a tribe in Greece(and all the balkans, they lived from Andrianople to croatia, I know because my grandfather is an arvanite). They are not that common to find in Greece! Sure some rebel captains were Arvanites, but three times as many were traditional Greeks (Sarakatsans, lakonians, aetolians, Macedonians etc). And it is not at all bad to have our country 100% consisting of Greeks. It is ok if a tribe wants to become a part of the Greek nation, if they accept pur culture, history and religion. That is what the arvanites and the Vlachs did, and we all live in peace. Unlike your nations, which depends on hatred towards other countries. Greece is patriotic while Albania is nationalistic. Patriotism is the ideology in which a person wants the best for the nation he lives in. Nationalism, on the other hand, is the ideology where a nation wants to rule over (or be better than) other nations based on propagandistic ideas. Guess which one is the bad one :P

@@jackiechad5752 Heredotus Histories: "The entire territory later called Hellas was once called Pelasgia (1942 2:56) These Pelasgians had lived in Samothrace the island just north of Troy before they came to Attice (2:52)In northwestern Peloponesus the ioninas inhabited the land now called Achaea and were called according to the greek account Aegian Pelasgi of Pelasgi of the sea shore (7:94) "The Islanders...were a Pelasgian Race , who in later times took the name Ionians, the Aetolians too were anciently called Pelasgians (7:95). their language was different from Greek. The original Athenians were Pelasgians who spoke the barbarous Pelasgian language (1:57) Heredotus said Pelasgians spoke a language unlike any of their neighbors (1:57) The Pelasgians antedated the Greeks in what later was called Greece. Heredotus characterized the Hellenic Athenians as excessively migratory, but stated that the Pelasgians had always been there (1:56) "The Epirotes too are Pelasgians, based on the opinions of many" Significantly he identified Spartans as Pelasgians rather than Greeks, The Hellenic Race increased because numerous tribes of barbarians entered their ranks (1:58) Skylax writes: “After the Illyrians come the Chaonians. Chaonia has good coves; The Chaonians live in villages. The sail along Chaonia lasts half a day. After Chaonia comes the Thesprotian tribe; they also live in villages; this place has good coves too; here stands the cove named Elaea. In this cove the river Acheron flows into and the lake Acherusia from which the river Acheron derives is here. The sail along Thesprotia lasts half a day. After Cassope comes the Molossian tribe; they also live in villages; a small part of their land stretches all the way into the sea while the largest part stands in the internal parts of the region. The sail along the Molossian Sea continues for 40 stadia. After Molossia comes Ambracia, Helenian city, 80 stadia away from the sea. Along the shore there is a wall and a good harbor. From here starts Hellada, without interuptions, until the river Phenea all the way into Homolium, a city in Magnesia located near the river. The sail along Ambracia continues for 120 stadia” Theopompus, writing in the fourth century B.C.E., states that there were in total fourteen tribes. The main and most influential tribes were the Chaonians (surface of 2400 squared kilometres), Thesprotians (surface of 2050 squared kilometres), and Molossians (surface of 3500 squared kilometres). It seems that these tribes originated from a different Indo-European branch that the Greeks; they were closer in nature to the Illyrians and the Macedonians

More OWNAGE: The name Pyrros comes from the Greek Root “Pyr” which means Fire and also gives us modern English words like Pyrotechnic, Pyromaniac, and many many others. Epirus was called by it's original Greek populations as APEIROS, then became Hpeiros due to the classic A Doric to H Ionic change. Same with SpartA & SpartH. You can clearly see this in the coins that say: KOINON APEIROTAN (The Common”wealth” of Epirus). Apeiros means the boundless or endless earth. In all Ancient Sources the Epirots called their Region Apeiros & themselves Apeirotan. Even in their coins you see that they called their United Kingdom/Commonwealth of their 3 Major tribes: Koinon Apeirotan Koinon Apeirotan Common(wealth) ("Of Apeiros") Apeiros in Ancient Greek means expansive in reference to the region and landmass that headed towards the Northwest into Europe. Many Ancient sources claim it was named by Greek Kerkyreans (Corfu island) which called it Apeiros gi, "Expansive Landmass" as they viewed it from across the sea. Thus, the pseudo-etymologies of Skiptars are SMASHED...Epir or Ypo or Yper connection that the Albanians try to connect it with is absolutely INCORRECT ! Anyone that reads any original Ancient Greek Literary sources sees this clear as day, its not even something in contention amongst any linguists actually, only Albanians tend to claim their own versions & etymologies.

If you lived for 12 years with Albanians since a child and Greeks trying to oust you how do you think you would feel?

Epirus > Pyrrus >.... ~Paris (all in:)

[@YouTuber-gm9xf]

Epirus was an State/Province of Ancient Illyria and was inhabited by Epirots who were Illyrian-Albanians in around 4000 B.C. This beautiful region, has a rich Albanian heritage and it was only in the 1912 that is was annexed unfairly and unjustifiable from Greece. This was the aftermath of the decision of the great powers to give Çhamëria to Greece, just as the great powers had made similar decisions to give Kosovo and other Albanian territories to Serbia, Montenegro and FYROM. “Epiros” in Albanian meaning “Belongs to Piro” or “Land of Pirros” (E-piros) which could be referring towards Pirros/Pyrrhus of Epirus. *Piro* is an Ancient Illyrian name used by Albanians today. (Google translate this if you don’t believe me!) However, The word Çam is an evolution of the word "t'chiam" which is the name of an ancient river passing right through Çhamëria (The word T'chamis appears on many ancient Roman and even Hellenic maps, indicating that the word Çhamëria is older than the word Epirus, and it's used only by Albanians). Another branch of this river remains to be known to this day as the "lumi i kalamait"( Kalamait River - Childrens Rivier). What's most important is that everything about Çhamëria is Albanian in every sense of the word. The word Çhamëria has more of a topological meaning, but Çams have a very strong Albanian ethnicity, tradition and customs. Çhamëria has a very welldefined ethno-geographical meaning, which is strongly Albanian. I am not a nationalist, but it’s ridiculous to call Epirus “Greek” because Albanians also have a lot of history on the land.

[@anestisderpoulis8318]

Pellasgian You Albanians are trying to steal greek history and claim anything as yours even Obama is Albanian, just because you Albanians have no recorded history because you dont even had a alphabet just like the illyrians. Epirus is a Greek name and was inhabited by greeks for thousands of years en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epirus

[@frenchguitarguy1091]

I find it ironic that the ancient Greeks were snobby about Macedonians and Epirus not being greek and despite over 2000 years of development some things like this snobbery never seem to change. (Before you say it no I’m not saying that modern Macedonians are the ancient ones) Regardless treating someone in a nasty way online and then hiding behind a 2000 yr old identity is really grown up

[@frenchguitarguy1091]

CsGo King look I’m here to argue this point, but where is your proof, scholarly academia agrees that ancient Macedonians and Epirusans spoke dialects of Ancient Greek. This does exclusively make them Greek as many countries speak English but don’t identify a such. You may have made a dangerous mistake of mixing language and ethnicity as one can change and the other remain.

@@SpartanLeonidas1821 The only propaganda i see here is yours. People like you confuse religion with race. Such a stupid way to come to conlusions. Any one can convert to whatever religion they want. Thats doesnt change their blood. My granfarther was born in Margaritis and was forced to move out by the age of 9 because of the genocide that happened in Epirus by the forces of Zerva and he's criminals. Thousands were killed and many more deported. Only after that you called Epirus greek. Never before has it had nothing to do with your fake country called greece. You are not the same peoples , you are a mix of vlachs , turks , slavs and also albanians who speak one language and have the orthodox faith. If you dare call albanians turks than you havent seen what most of you greeks look like. Its hard to tell whos a greek and whos a turk because your all mixed up. Your are more turks than turks themselfs loool. Dont worry have fun with your propaganda. Time will show everything. Peace

Woefully wrong on a lot of things. The greeks controlled very small tracts of land around their city states in Italy and nothing more. The map and description of 0:23 is a good joke. The greeks themselves even referred to the south as "italia" along with the rest of the peninsula. Also most of these colonies were not conquered by the Romans but instead ver sacrum migrationonal conquests from italian samite derived tribes such as the lucanians and brutii - who were only later conquered by the romans.

[@SpartanLeonidas1821]

Romans called it Magna Graecia aka Greater Greece! Learn History. Actually, where is Napoli & the other Greek Colonized Cities further North in Italia? Fun Fact, the "Byzantine" Greeks repopulated these Greek Regions when their Greek Rulers known as the "Katepanos" ran those cities & districts :)
