The works of the great poet, Homer, are filled with words that not only survive in Albanian, but continue to be used. From Homer you can get not only words, but also phrases that possess all the signs of a typical Albanian expression. If someone were to interpret Homer from the Albanian language perspective, much light would be shed on the works of that famous poet. Between Homeric and Albanian sentences there is a striking resemblance in expression, phraseology and sentence structure. A study of this nature would help interpret Homer, since the Albanian language is older than that of Greece (Science Magazine 2023), much can be learned about the influence of this [Albanian] on Homeric and later Greek.

Yes, that would also help some of us who have a hard time connecting Greece and Hellene, so the real name matches the civilization, smh right?

Phoebe C. Segal. It is astonishing, though, that British Historians haven't yet educated themselves to the precise pronunciation of Our Hellenic names. They shout out.... Greek.. this...Greece ..that . The Barbarian Romans coined the name "Greek...Greece" and, foolishly, History ran with it. WE DID'NT !! We Are.. "ELLENES".. not Greek....OUR MYTHICAL COUNTRY IS ..."ELLAS" ...not Greece ! How simple could this be for flamboyant English speaking today, raising their stature at the podium, honoring "Who and What We Really Are" ! "Οι Αρχαίοι Τώρα Κωδικοί στην Έγκριση" ( "Our Ancients Now Nod in Approval" )

Beware the "Pronunciation Police".

im not very good at ignoring.

You are committing an Orientalist error…the Arabs translated the Greeks and the Judeo-Christian monks put their better readings in basements and put their substandard efforts above

The presenter sounds just like Kamala Harris.
