Echetlaeus
Hero of Marathon
Hello bros and broettes,
my point is simple here. Epirus has been the last frontier of the Greek world in the North-Western region. However, many scholars of the past, especially those living in the Greek core, like Thucydides, and others, like Strabo, characterised us as "barbarians" (along with Macedonians I suppose). To tell you the truth this hurts my feelings :disappointed:.
However, there are others, and actually more in numbers, who support that Epirotans are Greeks.
What do scholars have to say about it? Any comments would be appreciated !
