Again, the only thing that has availed in you post, is the heart :)

I knew it that you don't have guts to quote every my sentence to reply, including here and the part of studies that I transmit to you, just like your friend Iapetos... it will be a miracle to do that... because your machine of propaganda can not cover every ray of sun (the true)
...and I have more than 600 other books, that are waiting for you :)S), started from ancient writers, like Herodotus, Strabo, Homer, Pliny, Thucydides, Ptolemy.. to the year 2011... and we have thousends of claims like these:
...if there is a truly autochthonous race in the world it is certainly the Albanian race, as it is formed of the descendants of the Pelasgians...
... Albanians are the only original inhabits in Balkan, the others are invaders...
...the three Shkypetar States, Illyria, Epirus and Macedonia
...
... thus pressed back, The Illyrian, Epirot and Macedonians clans consolidated themself in what geography knows as Albania...

... the albanians are the most ancient race in southeastern Europe. History and legend affort no record of their arrival in Balkan peninsula...

... from the Illyria to Albania...


... all these parts from books, you can find above posted as it should, and you pass them silently like nothing was said (epic fail)

And how can you do such a crime in the scientific level, to offend all these what i sent to you... you had the ansewer from best scientists in the world, not by me:) ...why you pass them and post here a map about Epirotes (with the poor propagand tendency that even and the cradle of Albanians to call it Greek), that all in the scientist world are knowing as albanians. Here you have many of them:

Even Castrioti is greek :D
Search about Castrioti (Kastrioti):
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&prmdo=1&tbs=bks:1&q=Castrioti&a q=f&aqi=&aql=f&oq=&psj=1&prmdo=1&fp=82a567adc72d26 3b
{You have to make him greek or slav, whatever, because you know that he was King od Epirus and Macedonia, like albanian (Illyro-Thracian) states, and disorientate your propaganda about Epir and Macedonia

Or Fustanella :D
... when all the world knows that is an albanian traditional costume of the all Albanians, latter was in use only by Tosk Albanians(until today).
Search about Fustanella -
http://www.google.com/#q=the%20Alban...6d7fcb6d497136 ...{"fustan"-dress in albanian (and in no other language); "funt/d"-the lower part of the dress; "an"-side (or the lower side of the dress - Fustanella), also fút (whith accent at "u"), is the name of that type of clothing, which we put forward at the bottom of the body, when we have to work something.... like freemasons today:)}...

Or... what else is left from you to make it slavic or greek ?

And ah yes, I see that you are trapped with Bosnia... even that I'll try to answer you for the fourth time about the same question, in the same way. You said that bosnians and albanians have much differences in DNA:
165765_152259364821841_100001133356751_247832_966827_n.jpg

I said that it must be, because slavs and illyrians have much differences in DNA
... and these haplotypes that they have in common, are because south slavic, didn't replace all the illyrians at once... illyrians were pushed back slowly (where we find being wasted in the small Albania today), but some of them become slavic (illyrians did not speak slavic, right? like bosnians speak - that's why there we face the term assimilation)... that's why some bosnian haplotypes are in common whith albanians(illyrians) and the other part what is different from albanians is slavic...
It's so easy to understand whith simple historical fact, why you have to be confused even here... do you want to draw to you in paint haha or you a have a short video about little kids to learn history: See it from the the sec. 35 to the end (1.17) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0tGOdHl7_0

... and of course, read more in this issue: Here you have many of them:
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.139407142773730.23767.100001133356751&l=5e6b160e5a&type=1
... I send you whith link, in order to not upset other members here, who know what they seek, and for what they opened this topic (and are not trapped in slavic or greek propaganda like you, only because you are a slav, or the other one was greek)...

Even that in these kind of maps that you where posted, are evident the invasions of others, like slavs in this case, from Bullgaria. I saw you tendences only in geography and I write you in this way above (even that you didnt understand as always):
"Also, about maps, you have to understand that they don't describe the autochthony always, but they are the result of expensions (invasions). We have survival history and as you go deeper in time, will see that our territory is larger. Restriction (contraction) of our territory is continuous occurrence since prehistory, we can't boast with any map, except the oldest ones that comfort us a little bit (because contraction is lower).
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...3356751&type=1

We have also occupations maps that there is no Albania, but this does not mean that there was no Albanian ...
In fact these are maps that invasions are documented. Even just on the basis of maps of this kind, neighbors claim territories. And not whith autochthony."


- It would be better to continue talking with you. I gave you materials from linguistical, we don't have to search the old albanian language, because albanian today is old like it was... it was preserved from these self-issolated albanians, even that there were influences from invaders - atrocities, the language didnt were romanizated or hellenizated at all... these albanian words and these small semantic units in them, are a real treasure about the scientists, and with the method of comparison and etymology, they have concluded that this language is the oldest in Europe... Here you have also the answer about your only justification, why albanian language wasen't wrote before (although many have already deciphered ancient pelasgian inscriptions whith the Albanian language), they just survive in their mountains whith their own laws coming from the antiquity and they were not free to create science. But before greek and roman era, yes, this language was written, that's why today many pelasgian inscriptions are deciphered whith this language) - Elizabeth Pyatt, from Pennsylvania State University: Albanian might be considered very "old" and Greek pretty "new"- http://linguistlist.org/ask-ling/oldest.cfm
... in the same way, these conclusions came and for historical, symbolic, anthropological, cultural, geographic... components (you have example of all these components from the page 2,4,5 and 6 in this topic), that's proving once again the autochtony of albanians and the original link between them and ancient cultures around the Mediterranean... It will be nice to proceed talking whith you, to enable the posting of over 600 books from me, but here you like a deserter, leave your pseudo-nationalistic propaganda away, because it doesnt help anymore (especially when you have to argue something in multi components, then you are trapped)

This is interesting also...
Albanians have a dance with two swords (snake) who fight and in the same time they dance with arms open as eagle flying (unity of male-female of snakes-'kundalini'= Cadmus & Harmonia myth)

Sounds like 19th century romantic history in the modern era! dream on dreamer, you're insane.
 
Trouble is, that not one thing posted here is from a primary nor a contemporary source. Anyone can write or copy and paste whatever they wish but without primary sources it will ever remain mere conjecture.
 
@ Antigone
If the ancient writers, like Herodotus, Strabo, Homer, Pliny, Thucydides, Ptolemy
... are not primary sources... if historical traditions of the Greeks, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Assyrians... are not primay primary sources... if German, English, French, American, Italian... institutes of linguistics and Albanology in particular, history, and culture at all are not primary sources... if evidences in genetic and physic antropology, symbolism, national costumes, national dances, music, mythology or the culture at all... are not primary sources, if Encyclopaedia Britannica (west) or Muslim Encyclopaedia (east) - {East and west are united in this subject}... are not primary sources... if these studies (again, mostly by foreign researchers, because albanians are not interested about ancient history, and national institutions are very weak in this direction... primary task for albanians was to survive, and now is to to alleviate the permant extreme poverty):

If we pay attention to the tradition, even today in albanian culture, when the girl become e women, when she get married (albanians get married only in Thursday and Sunday), she have to stay just like this, in that position (folded), like the mysterious artifact there.
Thursday is womens day. For the bride they say: "U bë Nuse Venuse" - "You become e Bride a Venus"... alb.:"Ve"- eng.:"Egg" - alb.:"Nuse" - eng.:"bride"... Venus)
Also, when in "the first night" she have to stay whith her man, tradition requires that she have to sit in the symbol of the half of Cosmic Egg (albanian white hood - "Plis" or "Qeleshe", is only a man cap), turned back, and to put in the head the another half, just like the symbol of Zeus here:

13462_110084585705986_100001133356751_66198_7642169_n.jpg



So, like the seed that came from the Cosmic Egg or the Egg of the Worlds and brought the life, and the Bride "emerges" from the Egg and bring life in that house.

In fact the entire albanian national dress represents that pelasgic religion, or symbolizes God/Almighty Creator.
Even the sleeves of the dress (Guna) that don't have to be wear but to connect behind, symbolizing comb / wings of divinity. For old religion (or better to say, from that original religion, what was copied latter from other cultures, especially from the Semitic peoples) says that when the Creator created life from the cosmic egg/egg of worlds, he was presented with comb/wings ...
This kind of theory of creation is writen somehow and in the Bible indireclty in Genesis.
Here you can see the symbolism of Comb/divine wings in albanian dress:

I do not see any reference to albania from Strabo unless you are talking about Albania in the caucus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Epirus_%26_modern_borders.jpg

I do see epirus graeca for albania , which is greek illyrian which is new epirus ( conquered by the epirotes ) and NOT illyrian

PURE illyrian seems to E-v13 and only is between modern greece and modern montenegro borders

Illyrians only cremated their dead and placed weapons with the cremation.
 
A primary source is an eyewitness or first hand account, written or recorded AT THE TIME or SOON AFTER the event in question. Sorry, but not one thing you have listed is a primary source, so you have no definite proof of your claims.

A contemporary source is an account, written or recorded by a third party AT THE TIME or SOON AFTER the event in question. They are used to verify the primary source account.

At best, all you have given as way of proof are secondary or tertiary sources and written centuries or millenia after. If you can't understand this very basic first step in reading and evaluating history then I'd suggest you begin with this http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/education/008-3010-e.html .

LOL of course you can't tell stories about the "albanian" meaning of Illyria because it hasn't been invented yet. Albanian and FYROM share the same desire to invent and distort history for their own liking.

so what is your opinion about the argument that Besir Bajrami showed us about the origin of Ilyrian name , what do you think is it true? because you told me that you know the truth , if it isnt then tell me the right answer ? if you have time and know it of course ...
 
hey brothers can anyone ,who think that albanians are not ilyrians, tell me some arguments that put in doubt mine which are very simple one and with a primary source (i think so because greek know it more than me :p but all is relative ) :
do you know that the albanian buildings are build in the same place where the ilyrians buildings were ? do you know that the ancient towns of ilyria are in the same place where were build the towns of arberia (that are also called albanians ), that under the the medieval walls of arberia are the ancient walls of ilyria ? do you know that they have the same culture , tradition, costums etc, these means that albanians are ilyrians , and for sure i can tell that they have the same language as some writing ( a primary source ) found in mesapia in south eastern of italia near ilyria , who can give me arguments that can put these in doubt ?

Being in the same place as illyrian doesn't mean you are Illyrian, or your culture. When they dug up the ruins of troy, they found that generation after generation of peples built cities in the same place and expanded it after the trojans were gone. The problems with albanian evidence is that its not imperical, you show "evidence" that is common throughout that area. Study the science of history then come up with evidence.

BTW the name "Ilyria" has a greek origin, and judging by that map Sile popsted of Ilyria Grecia, it gives good evidence why albanians are geneticaly closer to greeks then bosnians. The albanian language is foreign to the land, the minimal greek words is so self-evidend that only a fool will try to connect it to the land.

building on top of other older buildings is common in the ancient world...troy had 9 cities build on top of each other which lasted over 2000 years. Plus its quicker to use material already cut.

No one seen illyrian language ...so can you link it please.
 
@ Ultimo_m
What do you want to prove whith these words... buildings... the same place... we all know these things... if you want to talk about "Kulla" or the homes of albanians until the in the late 50 years, that were made in combination of fortress and home like a tower, and only albanians makes them in Balkans, and we now the reason... and this is another subject... but these our friends here are trying to play whith words and don't you see that you are a reason to make them play... don't you see that from the page 5 when you started do write you make them a track to play whith your words... after I shut them all the paths for a long time.

@ Elias2
You said that you would not post again in this topic (to be a desertor of slavic&greek propaganda)... i thing you make a good choice. Or if you want to post, there are questions and posts from the page 2,4,5,6... that are waiting for you to reply, and to send me here contra arguments from studies or books, like I did (becuase i enjoy to reply you whith books)... not to catch and manipulate whith someone else words.

And now, for the sake of other members here that are not here to transmit hate, pseudo nationalism, propaganda, and personal theories like "evidence" I dont have to reply all my posts from the page 2,4,5,6... that are connected whith your sickness, but I will reply only few words from above, just to remember that you are trying to pass them whithout reading them and write something stupid like Illyria is greek name:p - Tell me the ethymology like i did.

...Illyria has pure an albanian meaning:
1. I lir = free (I'm free= Une jam i lirë; or free people)
2. ill or yll = Star; Like firs king of Illyrians - Bardhyl - Bardh=white; Yll-Star. Also Ar (Is antonym. Before was used about the meaning of the sun, now more is used about the meaning about the human. As "shqiptar" - shqip=eagle; ar=human)
Which one do you want to take ? ;)

+ Do you have a albanian name: Over 60 names: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/32704
+ http://www.aboutnames.ch/albanian.htm
+ Illyrian word=Albanian words: http://www.illyrians.org/illyrian-alb.html
+ many Illyrian..............................Albanian.... .................English words from the page 4 in this topic: http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthr...stanella/page4 ... dont make me to repeat the arguments, or don't talk about them, if you don't even read at all. I wonder, how can you speak scientifically, if you don't even read the arguments - read the albanian-illyrian ties too (just read something man:)...

+ I want to make you know also, that we Albanians in recent years (before the '90) were stopped from slavs the naming of children in albanian meaning that has to do whith history, as Ilir, Agron, Bato, Bardhyl, Alban, Arbër, Dardan, Taulant, Kreshnik... and my father was in jail for 11 months only beacuse my brother was named Ilir - So, now you can think how deep was the repression of invaders to stop the albanian national memory... even the stoping of the basics human rights, like is the naming of your son...

By the way, if you want to talk about names, I have other tons of materials, but after replying me about these in previous pages, in the last page at least.

... So after all these arguments, why you still proceed to be so pseudo-nationalist in your aproach ?!
(science has suffered a lot from people like you)


+ Exactly that albanians are geneticaly closer to greeks then slavs, tells us that a huge greek population are whith an albanian blood (arvanites), even that they were assimilated in greeks of today whith a help of religion.
Also greeks and pelasgians were lived besides each other, and were mixed from that time, that's why albanians and greeks share the same dna but whith slavs not... even that these few haplotypes in common whith slaves, are from a part of Illyrians that were assimilated in slavic population later.

Greek constitution in 1821

This is the approach that today Greece and "new greek nation" is formed. Here's the constitution of 1821 in Greece
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1227707_n.jpg

Here is translated in english:
http://i55.tinypic.com/29qjyuu.jpg

...is clearly seen in what basis the Greek state was formed, thus clearly stating that the Greeks had no need to talk Greek, or to have Greek blood, enough was the religion (ie Orthodox) and this policy made possible the absorption (or assimilation) of many other ethnicities.

New question for you:
How can you explain that a lot of latins and greeks words are in use today from albanians ? - And this is phenomenon is precisely in relation with the intensity of occupation over Illyrians... Latins held under occupation Illyrians longer and greeks held under occupation Illyrians shorter... that's why in albanian lexicon today are more latin words than greeks.

P.S:
I'm waiting for you to quote every my sentence, including the pieces from books that i transmit to you and to reply me whith contra ARGUMENTS, from studies (books)... if not, than cure your sickness.

@ Antigone
Hahaha... eyewitness a ? :D... You and I can't be an eyewitness about the time of pelasgians... But we can see albanians today to make e parallel whith that what ancient writers wrote (from primary sourced:) about these people, their language, culture, history...
+ Do you know that when an institutions like Britannica or scientist of that caliber make an conclusions, like those what I have cited, are based exactly in these primary or contemporary sources that were left from that time, and are present to today... therefore these are much more reliable than what YOU or your friend think, so if you are alergic from primary sources from culture, symbolism, words or language... than make a progress from institutions like Britannica or scientist of the caliber of they above.
Otherwise, reply every my sentence from the page 2,4,5 & 6, whith your primary sources ;)

@ Sile
When I mention Strabo, I was thinking in these arguments:
Besides the Albania in Caucasus, Strabo, in his “Geographia”, mentioned a population called Oi Albanoi, with their capital Albanopolis, 20 km in the north-west of the actual Tirana.

Q. What was Greece before the time of the Hellenes.
A.Strabo in his Geography Strabonis Book 7
Hecataeus of Miletus says of the Peloponnesus that before the time of
the Greeks it was inhabited by barbarians. Yet one might say that in the ancient times the whole of Greece was a settlement of barbarians


Q.When Hellenes are mentioned for the first time
A.Thucydides/History_of_The_Peloponnesia n_War_-_Book_I/
There is also another circumstance that contributes not a little to my conviction of the weakness of ancient times. Before the Trojan war there is no indication of any common action in Hellas, nor indeed of the universal prevalence of the name(Helen)........went by the names of the different tribes, in particular of the Pelasgian.......The best proof of this is furnished by Homer. Born long after the Trojan War, he nowhere calls all of them by that name(helens)..........He does not even use the term barbarian, probably because the Hellenes had not yet been marked off from the rest of the world by one distinctive appellation...gradually acquired from the connection the name of Hellenes; though a long time elapsed before that name could fasten itself upon all(after 8th century BC )

Homer Born ca. 8th century BC

Conclusion NO Helenes before 8 th century


Q.Which were the population of greece before Helenes
A. Acheans or Argives, Danaio, Cecropes, Arcadians

Q Acheans , Argives, Danaio, Cecropes, Arcadians belong to pelasgian nation? (Modified)
A. Yes...................Why?

1.Argos, the kingdom of Agamemnon, famous for its cities Mycenae and Tirynth, where have been discovered in our time priceless treasures of a buried Pelasgian civilization, had also been a country of the Pelasgians. Argos is given the name Pelasgia by Eschyl (Prom. v. 860), Euripides (Orestes, v. 675, 849, 1611; Iphig. in Aulida, v. 1494; Erakles mainomenos, v. 462), Eustathius (Comm. In Dionysium, 347), and Strabo (lib. VIII. 6. 9).
2.Arcadia, a region surrounded by mountains and inhabited by a pastoral people with simple and patriarchal mores, had once the name “Pelasgia” (Steph. Byz. ‘Arkadia; Herodotus, lib.I. 146).
3.Beotia also, a country rich in sheep flocks and herds of cattle and horses, with the famous Parnassus and Helicon mountains, with their fine valleys dedicated to the divinities, had been inhabited in ancient times by Pelasgians (Strabo, lib. IX. 2. 25; Ibid. IX. 2. 3).
4.The entire Peloponessus, a country covered in vast woodlands, crisscrossed by numerous rivers and streams, with very favorable conditions for a pastoral life, had been called in antiquity Pelasgia, as the historians Acusilaus (fragm 11, Frag. Hist. graec. I. p. 101), and Ephorus (fragm. 54, ibid. p. 248; Pliny, lib. IV. 5. 1) tell us.
5.Thessaly, the most fertile and beautiful territory of ancient Greece, situated between Olympus, Ossa, Pelion and Pindus mountains, had once bore the name Pelasgicon Argos (Homer, Iliad, II. v. 681; Strabo, Geogr. VIII. 6. 5), Pelasgicon pedion (Strabo, Geogr. Ix. 5. 22), meaning the plain of the Pelasgians, and Pelasgia (Hecateus, Fragm. 334, in Fragm Hist. graec. I. Ed. Didot, p. 25; Ibid, vol. IV. P. 501; Eustathius, Comm. In Dionysium v. 427).


Q.What are Hellenes?
A. Herodotus: from The History, c. 430 B.C., I.56-59

We must pronounce that the Pelasgi spoke a barbarous language. If this were really so, and the entire Pelasgic race spoke the same tongue, the Athenians, who were certainly Pelasgi, must have changed their language at the same time that they passed into the Hellenic body...The Hellenic race has never, since its first origin, changed its speech. ...... It was a branch of the Pelasgic, which separated from the main body, and at first was scanty in numbers and of little power; but it gradually spread and increased to a multitude of nations, chiefly by the voluntary entrance into its ranks of numerous tribes of barbarians. The Pelasgi, on the other hand, were, as I think, a barbarian race which never greatly multiplied.

So they(helenes) were scanty in numbers and little powers, therefore the culture and territories belonged to Pelasgians.

Q.Who are pelasgians?
A.Strabonis Book VII
....And even to the present day the Thracians, Illyrians, and Epeirotes live on the flanks of the Greeks (though this was still more the case formerly than now); indeed most of the country that at the present time is indisputably Greece is held by the barbarians--Macedonia and certain parts of Thessaly by the thracians,and the parts above Acarnania and Aetolia by the Thesproti, the Cassopaei,the Amphilochi, the Molossi, and the Athamanes--Epeirotic tribes.

Q. Who are Illyrians, and Epeirotes and Macedonians(old)
1.-----A. SCANDERBED (Albanian national hero)

Knowledge of my race. My elders(for all albanians not Scanderbeg only-my note) were from Epirus, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies."

"I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep(ALBANIANS-my note). But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"

2.------DICTIONARIVM -LATINO-EPIROTICVM
http://www.mdevaan.nl/research/Blanchus.pdf


Herodotus Clio pg 13 These were the Lacedaemonians and the Athenians, the former of Doric, the latter of Ionic blood. And indeed these two nations had held from very, early times the most distinguished place in Greece, the being a Pelasgic, the other a Hellenic people, and the one having never quitted its original seats, while the other had been excessively migratory; for duringthe reign of Deucalion, Phthiotis was the country in which the Hellenes dwelt, but under Dorus, the son of Hellen, they moved to the tract at the base of Ossa and Olympus, which is called Histiaeotis; forced to retire from that region by the Cadmeians, they settled, under the name of Macedni, in the chain of Pindus. Hence they once more removed and came to Dryopis; and from Dryopis having entered the Peloponnese in this way, they became known as Dorians. What the language of the Pelasgi was I cannot say with any certainty. If, however, we may form a conjecture from the tongue spoken by the Pelasgi of the present day- those, for instance, who live at Creston above the Tyrrhenians, who formerly dwelt in the district named Thessaliotis, and were neighbours of the people now called the Dorians- or those again who founded Placia and Scylace upon the Hellespont, who had previously dwelt for some time with the Athenians- or those, in short, of any other of the cities which have dropped the name but are in fact Pelasgian; if, I say, we are to form a conjecture from any of these, we must pronounce that the Pelasgi spoke a barbarous language. If this were really so, and the entire Pelasgic race spoke the same tongue, the Athenians, who were certainly Pelasgi

Herodotus, Polymnia ix.) .....The Ionians furnished a hundred ships, and were armed like the Greeks. Now these Ionians, during the time that they dwelt in the Peloponnese and inhabited the land now called Achaea (which wasbefore the arrival of Danaus and Xuthus in the Peloponnese), were called, according to the Greek account, Aegialean Pelasgi, or "Pelasgi of the Sea-shore"; but afterwards, from Ion the son of Xuthus, they were called Ionians.

Herodotus Urania pg 9 The Athenians, when the region which is now called Greece was held by the Pelasgi, were Pelasgians, and bore the name of Cranaans; but under their king Cecrops, they were called Cecropidae

The Islanders furnished seventeen ships, and wore arms like the
Greeks. They too were a Pelasgian race, who in later times took the name of Ionians for the same reason me reason as those who inhabited the twelve cities founded from Athens.

The Aeolians furnished sixty ships, and were equipped in the
Grecian fashion. They too were anciently called Pelasgians, as the
Greeks declare.

Iliad Rapsodies 1-6 The Dardanians were led by brave Aeneas, whom Venus bore to Anchises, when she, goddess though she was, had lain with him upon the mountain slopes of Ida. He was not alone, for with him were the two sons of Antenor, Archilochus and Acamas, both skilled in all the arts of war

Homerus Iliad Rapsodies i) Hippothous led the tribes of Pelasgian spearsmen, who dwelt in fertile Larissa- Hippothous, and Pylaeus of the race of Mars, two sons of the Pelasgian Lethus, son of Teutamus


New authors:
Dorian Greeks settled in Illyria before 2000 BC, ancient regions of the Balkan peninsula occupied by Indo-European-speaking tribes, including the Dalmatians and Pannonians. Warlike and piratical, they withstood (6th cent. B.C.) Greeks attracted by their iron mines and later attacks by Macedonians.
The Romans conquered them and set up (168-167 B.C.) the province of Illyricum.

The following ex. give a clear answer about argives, danaus, peloponesus and arcadians, tyrrenoi people, thesaly(when achiles comes from) etc

1.Strabonis Book V Chapter 2 ... And Thessaly is called "the Pelasgian Argos..

1.Hecataeus, makes Pelasgus king of Thessaly (expounding Iliad, 2.681-684)

2.Sophocles takes the same view (Inachus, fragment. 256) and for the first time introduces the ethnonym Tyrrhenoi, apparently as synonymous with "Pelasgians

3. Hellanicus(Supplices I, sqq.), repeats this identification a generation later, and identifies this Argive or Arcadian Pelasgus with the Thessalian Pelasgus of Hecataeus.

4.The historian Ephorus preserves a passage from Hesiod that attests to a tradition of an aboriginal Pelasgian people in Arcadia, and developed a theory of the Pelasgians as a warrior-people spreading from a "Pelasgian home", and annexing and colonizing all the parts of Greece.

------
And here a part of the list of people who participated in war
......
PHLEGYAI

Capital: Trikke

"They who held Trikke and the terraced place of Ithome, and Oikhalia, the city of Oikhalian Eurytos, of these in turn the leaders were two sons of Asklepios, good healers both themselves, Podaleirios and Makhaon. In their command were marshalled thirty hollow vessels." - Homer, The Iliad 2.729

ORMENIOS

Capital: Ormenios

"They who held Ormenios and the spring of Hypereia, they who held Asterion and the pale peaks of Titanos, Eurypylos led these, the shining son of Euaimon. Following along with him were forty black ships." - Homer, The Iliad 2.734

DOROS

At the time of the Trojan War the kingdom of Doros was ruled by the Herakleidai (sons of Herakles). They did not take part in the Trojan War since the Heraklid suitor of Helene, Tlepolemos, had been exiled to the island of Rhodes.

LAPITHAI

Capital: Gyrtone

"They who held Argissa and dwelt about Gyrtone, Orthe and Elone and the white city of Oloosson, of these the leader was Polypoites, stubborn in battle, son of Peirithoos whose father was Zeus immortal, he whom glorious Hippodameia bore to Peirithoos on that day when he wreaked vengeance on the Pheres [the Centaurs] and drove them from Pelion ... Following in the guidance of these were forty black ships." - Homer, The Iliad 2.738
Remember..... Hippothous led the tribes of Pelasgian spearsmen

PERRRHAIBIA

Capital: Kyphos, Dodona

"Gouneus from Kyphos led two and twenty vessels, and the Enienes and the Perrhaibians stubborn in battle followed him, they who made their homes by wintry Dodona, and they who by lovely Titaressos held the tilled acres, Titaressos, who into Peneios casts his bright current: yet he is not mixed with silver whirls of Peneios, but like oil is floated along the surface above him." - Homer, The Iliad 2.748
..........


So Dorians (hellenes) did not take part in war, period.

Go to google and punch "dorians origin"
You will see "Greeks Origin"
These people are the only greeks history knows and their roots are from Illyria+epirus=arberia (in old times was bigger than that)


Dorian

Any member of a major division of the ancient Greeks. Coming from the north and northwest, they conquered the Peloponnese c. 1100 – 1000 BC, overran the remnants of the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations, and ushered in a dark age that lasted almost three centuries, until the rise of the Greek city-states. They had their own dialect and were organized into three tribes. Patterns of settlement determined their alliances in later Greek conflicts. To Greek culture they gave the Doric order of architecture, the tragic choral lyric, and a militarized aristocratic government. They assimilated into Greek societies in some cases, but in Sparta and Crete they held power and resisted cultural advancement.

North and northwest means-Illyria+epirus

Minoan (3000-1500 BC)
"Minoan" culture on Crete, with large population and rich palace-centres. Non-Greek speakers.(Linear A - still undeciphered)

Dark Age" (transition to Iron Age) (1100-850 BC) Dorians enter in Greece About 1100 (b.c.) the Dorians entered the area, armed with iron spears and shields and whipped out the Myceans.
Break-up of Mycenaean civilization; Greek settlements throughout the Aegean Islands and the coast of Asia Minor. (Linear B script used for palace records)

Geometric and Archaic Period (850-480 BC)
Alphabetic script adapted from Phoenician in Greece, ca 750.
Emergence of the classical Greek city-states, governed by family groups or dictators (mainly 7th-6th century),or democracies (begun by Athens, 5th century)

High Classical Period (480-323 BC)
Greek city-states flourish until overshadowed by the powerful Macedonian kings. Philip of Macedon rules Greece; his son Alexander campaigns as far east as India, conquering Persia and Egypt, before dying in 323 BC

Hellenistic Period (323-146 BC); Roman Republic (to 44 BC)
Alexander's empire fragments into Greek monarchies in Macedonia, Syria and Egypt.
Roman overseas expansion begins in 208 BC;
Hellenization of Roman myth & religion.
Greece becomes a Roman province.
The Roman Republic ends with a seizure of power by Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BC)

c.1100 The Dorians destroyed Mycenae. According to legend, Timenos, Chief of the Dorians, founded the Argos Regime in Peloponnesus. Xanthos, Chief of the Aeolians, founded the Thebes Regime in Boeotia.
Do you understand now that Achaeans were wiped out by Helenes(Dorians).Therefore they dont belong to Hellenes culture. On the top of that Achaeans had only very limited territory occupying only the northern part of the Peloponnesus on the Gulf of Corinth. What about the rest?

Ionians, Arcadians and Aeolians were originally pelasgians and joined the helenic body only shortly before the begining of High Classical Period.

1. ---- Argos, the kingdom of Agamemnon, famous for its cities Mycenae and Tirynth, where have been discovered in our time priceless treasures of a buried Pelasgian civilization, had also been a country of the Pelasgians. Argos is given the name Pelasgia by Eschyl (Prom. v. 860), Euripides (Orestes, v. 675, 849, 1611; Iphig. in Aulida, v. 1494; Erakles mainomenos, v. 462), Eustathius (Comm. In Dionysium, 347), and Strabo (lib. VIII. 6. 9).
2.---- Arcadia, a region surrounded by mountains and inhabited by a pastoral people with simple and patriarchal mores, had once the name “Pelasgia” (Steph. Byz. ‘Arkadia; Herodotus, lib.I. 146).
3.---- Beotia also, a country rich in sheep flocks and herds of cattle and horses, with the famous Parnassus and Helicon mountains, with their fine valleys dedicated to the divinities, had been inhabited in ancient times by Pelasgians (Strabo, lib. IX. 2. 25; Ibid. IX. 2. 3).
4.---- The entire Peloponessus, a country covered in vast woodlands, crisscrossed by numerous rivers and streams, with very favorable conditions for a pastoral life, had been called in antiquity Pelasgia, as the historians Acusilaus (fragm 11, Frag. Hist. graec. I. p. 101), and Ephorus (fragm. 54, ibid. p. 248; Pliny, lib. IV. 5. 1) tell us.
5.---- Thessaly, the most fertile and beautiful territory of ancient Greece, situated between Olympus, Ossa, Pelion and Pindus mountains, had once bore the name Pelasgicon Argos (Homer, Iliad, II. v. 681; Strabo, Geogr. VIII. 6. Pelasgicon pedion (Strabo, Geogr. Ix. 5. 22), meaning the plain of the Pelasgians, and Pelasgia (Hecateus, Fragm. 334, in Fragm Hist. graec. I. Ed. Didot, p. 25; Ibid, vol. IV. P. 501; Eustathius, Comm. In Dionysium v. 427)

Let's live in peace with our neigbour(GREEKS) because the History belong to us.

@ Zanipolo
Read the materials in page 4 in this topic...

@ All
Dear greek and south slavic propagandists and pseudo nationalists, leave us to discuss about the topic, because it's really interesting for normal peoples.

P.S.:
Also, about maps, you have to understand that they don't describe the autochthony always, but they are the result of expensions (invasions). We have survival history and as you go deeper in time, will see that our territory is larger. Restriction (contraction) of our territory is continuous occurrence since prehistory, we can't boast with any map, except the oldest ones that comfort us a little bit (because contraction is lower).
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...3356751&type=1
We have also occupations maps that there is no Albania, but this does not mean that there was no Albanian ...
In fact these are maps that invasions are documented. Even just on the basis of maps of this kind, neighbors claim territories. And not whith autochthony.


P.S.:
Albanians have a surviving history and they don't care about history, or to tell you who were, or to know more about these things... Albanian nationalism is 0... that's why these people who still survived remained around separated borders from the year 1913 (for the last time that we were divided), still can't make their natural state, to reach the point (o)zero, like every nation in Europe, because now we are in - (minus). The institutions don't care about these things too... the primary task about us was to survive from invaders... and now is to make money, because the poverty has been a permanent problem about us, this fact make terrain about predatory neighbors, to continue with their claims to take the whole country.
I'm interesting about history, only because I am angry whith the poor anti-albanian propaganda which circulates from the southern Slavs and Greeks, only because they still want to tear apart the territory of the Albanians wich is left and the right of autochthony make nervous the predatory neighbors.

...but these studies about the language, culture, symbolism, antropology, history of the albanians... are done from foreign scientists (Germans, French, British, Americans, Italians, and even some truth seekers Slavic and Greek scientists). They have observed a very old language, very ancient symbolism, old race and very old model of culture at all, of these survival people that are trying to Self-isolate themself in mountains, from permanent invasions. But if for the scientists albanians are treasure, guarded from the modern deformation, the dark side of this fact is the ignorance of the survivors and cultural inclination/trend/propensity what is recorded in DNA and have to pass more than 6,000 years to alter fundamentally.

Besides preserving the old original language of Europe (Pelasgian language), regardless of atrocities, speak for the original words, that method through the comparison of languages, and ethymology, it turns out that this language was the creator language of the elite of that time (Greek language) and that of laters, Latin language (read about pelasgian language, to make a parallel), then, for addition to the language, the culture in general is preserved in its originality in the Albanian mountains ... symbolism also ... cultural trend even for Albanians remained pagan ... they use modified pagan elements in monotheistic religions imposed later by the invasion, celebrate pagan festivals ... Albania for a period even proclaimed as the first atheist country in the world ... This also explains the amazing religious harmony ... because cultural trend is the same. Only these recently years with the uncontrolled opening of this state from outside influences, have begun disruption observed.

all i have said are based more on the studies of Eqerem Cabej and in our written history form our historians, not from others who most of them are paid to lie, most of things that you can find in internet are not based on real studies. later i will translate you smth
 
Being in the same place as illyrian doesn't mean you are Illyrian, or your culture. When they dug up the ruins of troy, they found that generation after generation of peples built cities in the same place and expanded it after the trojans were gone. The problems with albanian evidence is that its not imperical, you show "evidence" that is common throughout that area. Study the science of history then come up with evidence.

BTW the name "Ilyria" has a greek origin, and judging by that map Sile popsted of Ilyria Grecia, it gives good evidence why albanians are geneticaly closer to greeks then bosnians. The albanian language is foreign to the land, the minimal greek words is so self-evidend that only a fool will try to connect it to the land.

you are right !!! but can you tell me where have you read this or who has studied our history, our origin ?
 
you are right !!! but can you tell me where have you read this or who has studied our history, our origin ?

I have looked at the evidence myself and there isn't anything to connect Albanian ethos to Illyrians.

But what I've come to realize about nationalism and history is that it doesn't necessarily have to match or be accurate/truthfull, as long as the people think it is, that is good enough. I can think of three countries in the balkans off the top of my head who have this mentality. (four if you count Turkey as a balkan country).

Albanians ridiculed for their backwardness, or the old way of living, as a consequence of self-isolation ... but on the other hand, is not being respecting what is observed with this self- isolation, that is the old language, symbols, culture in general, race, etc ... This is a double standard so often in use from manipulative peoples, from which science has suffered so much, like George F. Wiliams reach the conclusion that albanian question is European civilization scandal.

Everything that we (as a nation in extinction), ask, is the emergence of reciprocity and justice... Not nationalism, but simply to respect the fact and not to prejudge from something what they read from propaganda that was not politically convenient the autochthony of these unfortunate peoples Researchers have already said their speech, but it recovered by the force of propaganda by powerful states... I see that to answer with books like I do, prevents someone and is shocket... so they stopped me to replicate further in this forum with the account Besir Bajrami, and allows people like elias2 or iapedos to continue to desecrate the pseudo science nationalism even that they dont have guts to replicate even the scientific parts, but dealing with science fiction...
Even that now we are tired of the injustices, even has a tendency to change the nationality, the acceptance of new conquests ... and no interest for history, not even in institutions. To eradicate the permanen extreme poverty is the overriding duty of the Albanians have put theirrself and national awareness is zero.
- I respond here as a result of extreme propaganda of the states around us, which was preventing the Albanian autochthony, and place a theory that the Albanians may well be alien, only it does not belong in this country where land have remained and continue to dissolve.


...So, finally "they" have more for pride. We? We have what to laugh. Bragging: EPIR Greek? Macedonia Greek? Dance cam-OCI [Cham] Greek? Fustanella/kilt Greek? Suliot revolution, Greek ? Trojans Greek ? Illyria Graecia ? Dorians Greek ? Pelasgian Iones Greek? Now even Albanians Greek ? etc ... The truth does not have any great value for humanity. If it does than it would not be misuse. However, we survived here where we were. Again, as we were. Again, older than the Greeks. And we will rerborn as our national symbol> Phoenix

@ Ultimo_m
What do you want to prove whith these words... buildings... the same place... we all know these things... if you want to talk about "Kulla" or the homes of albanians until the in the late 50 years, that were made in combination of fortress and home like a tower, and only albanians makes them in Balkans, and we now the reason... and this is another subject... but these our friends here are trying to play whith words and don't you see that you are a reason to make them play... don't you see that from the page 5 when you started do write you make them a track to play whith your words... after I shut them all the paths for a long time.

@ Elias2
You said that you would not post again in this topic (to be a desertor of slavic&greek propaganda)... i thing you make a good choice. Or if you want to post, there are questions and posts from the page 2,4,5,6... that are waiting for you to reply, and to send me here contra arguments from studies or books, like I did (becuase i enjoy to reply you whith books)... not to catch and manipulate whith someone else words.

And now, for the sake of other members here that are not here to transmit hate, pseudo nationalism, propaganda, and personal theories like "evidence" I dont have to reply all my posts from the page 2,4,5,6... that are connected whith your sickness, but I will reply only few words from above, just to remember that you are trying to pass them whithout reading them and write something stupid like Illyria is greek name:p - Tell me the ethymology like i did.

...Illyria has pure an albanian meaning:
1. I lir = free (I'm free= Une jam i lirë; or free people)
2. ill or yll = Star; Like firs king of Illyrians - Bardhyl - Bardh=white; Yll-Star. Also Ar (Is antonym. Before was used about the meaning of the sun, now more is used about the meaning about the human. As "shqiptar" - shqip=eagle; ar=human)
Which one do you want to take ? ;)

+ Do you have a albanian name: Over 60 names: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/32704
+ http://www.aboutnames.ch/albanian.htm
+ Illyrian word=Albanian words: http://www.illyrians.org/illyrian-alb.html
+ many Illyrian..............................Albanian.... .................English words from the page 4 in this topic: http://www.eupedia.com/forum/showthr...stanella/page4 ... dont make me to repeat the arguments, or don't talk about them, if you don't even read at all. I wonder, how can you speak scientifically, if you don't even read the arguments - read the albanian-illyrian ties too (just read something man:)...

+ I want to make you know also, that we Albanians in recent years (before the '90) were stopped from slavs the naming of children in albanian meaning that has to do whith history, as Ilir, Agron, Bato, Bardhyl, Alban, Arbër, Dardan, Taulant, Kreshnik... and my father was in jail for 11 months only beacuse my brother was named Ilir - So, now you can think how deep was the repression of invaders to stop the albanian national memory... even the stoping of the basics human rights, like is the naming of your son...

By the way, if you want to talk about names, I have other tons of materials, but after replying me about these in previous pages, in the last page at least.

... So after all these arguments, why you still proceed to be so pseudo-nationalist in your aproach ?!
(science has suffered a lot from people like you)


+ Exactly that albanians are geneticaly closer to greeks then slavs, tells us that a huge greek population are whith an albanian blood (arvanites), even that they were assimilated in greeks of today whith a help of religion.
Also greeks and pelasgians were lived besides each other, and were mixed from that time, that's why albanians and greeks share the same dna but whith slavs not... even that these few haplotypes in common whith slaves, are from a part of Illyrians that were assimilated in slavic population later.

Greek constitution in 1821

This is the approach that today Greece and "new greek nation" is formed. Here's the constitution of 1821 in Greece
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1227707_n.jpg

Here is translated in english:
http://i55.tinypic.com/29qjyuu.jpg

...is clearly seen in what basis the Greek state was formed, thus clearly stating that the Greeks had no need to talk Greek, or to have Greek blood, enough was the religion (ie Orthodox) and this policy made possible the absorption (or assimilation) of many other ethnicities.

New question for you:
How can you explain that a lot of latins and greeks words are in use today from albanians ? - And this is phenomenon is precisely in relation with the intensity of occupation over Illyrians... Latins held under occupation Illyrians longer and greeks held under occupation Illyrians shorter... that's why in albanian lexicon today are more latin words than greeks.

P.S:
I'm waiting for you to quote every my sentence, including the pieces from books that i transmit to you and to reply me whith contra ARGUMENTS, from studies (books)... if not, than cure your sickness.

@ Antigone
Hahaha... eyewitness a ? :D... You and I can't be an eyewitness about the time of pelasgians... But we can see albanians today to make e parallel whith that what ancient writers wrote about these people, their language, culture, history...
+ Do you know that when an institutions like Britannica or scientist of the caliber make an conclusions, like those what I have cited, are based exactly in these primary or contemporary sources that were left from that time, and are present to today... therefore these are much more reliable than what YOU or your friend think, so if you are alergic from primary sources from culture, symbolism, words or language... than make a progress from institutions like Britannica or scientist of the caliber of they above.
Otherwise, reply every my sentence from the page 2,4,5 & 6, whith your primary sources ;)

@ Sile
When I mention Strabo, I was thinking in these arguments:
Besides the Albania in Caucasus, Strabo, in his “Geographia”, mentioned a population called Oi Albanoi, with their capital Albanopolis, 20 km in the north-west of the actual Tirana.

Q. What was Greece before the time of the Hellenes.
A.Strabo in his Geography Strabonis Book 7
Hecataeus of Miletus says of the Peloponnesus that before the time of
the Greeks it was inhabited by barbarians. Yet one might say that in the ancient times the whole of Greece was a settlement of barbarians


Q.When Hellenes are mentioned for the first time
A.Thucydides/History_of_The_Peloponnesia n_War_-_Book_I/
There is also another circumstance that contributes not a little to my conviction of the weakness of ancient times. Before the Trojan war there is no indication of any common action in Hellas, nor indeed of the universal prevalence of the name(Helen)........went by the names of the different tribes, in particular of the Pelasgian.......The best proof of this is furnished by Homer. Born long after the Trojan War, he nowhere calls all of them by that name(helens)..........He does not even use the term barbarian, probably because the Hellenes had not yet been marked off from the rest of the world by one distinctive appellation...gradually acquired from the connection the name of Hellenes; though a long time elapsed before that name could fasten itself upon all(after 8th century BC )

Homer Born ca. 8th century BC

Conclusion NO Helenes before 8 th century


Q.Which were the population of greece before Helenes
A. Acheans or Argives, Danaio, Cecropes, Arcadians

Q Acheans , Argives, Danaio, Cecropes, Arcadians belong to pelasgian nation? (Modified)
A. Yes...................Why?

1.Argos, the kingdom of Agamemnon, famous for its cities Mycenae and Tirynth, where have been discovered in our time priceless treasures of a buried Pelasgian civilization, had also been a country of the Pelasgians. Argos is given the name Pelasgia by Eschyl (Prom. v. 860), Euripides (Orestes, v. 675, 849, 1611; Iphig. in Aulida, v. 1494; Erakles mainomenos, v. 462), Eustathius (Comm. In Dionysium, 347), and Strabo (lib. VIII. 6. 9).
2.Arcadia, a region surrounded by mountains and inhabited by a pastoral people with simple and patriarchal mores, had once the name “Pelasgia” (Steph. Byz. ‘Arkadia; Herodotus, lib.I. 146).
3.Beotia also, a country rich in sheep flocks and herds of cattle and horses, with the famous Parnassus and Helicon mountains, with their fine valleys dedicated to the divinities, had been inhabited in ancient times by Pelasgians (Strabo, lib. IX. 2. 25; Ibid. IX. 2. 3).
4.The entire Peloponessus, a country covered in vast woodlands, crisscrossed by numerous rivers and streams, with very favorable conditions for a pastoral life, had been called in antiquity Pelasgia, as the historians Acusilaus (fragm 11, Frag. Hist. graec. I. p. 101), and Ephorus (fragm. 54, ibid. p. 248; Pliny, lib. IV. 5. 1) tell us.
5.Thessaly, the most fertile and beautiful territory of ancient Greece, situated between Olympus, Ossa, Pelion and Pindus mountains, had once bore the name Pelasgicon Argos (Homer, Iliad, II. v. 681; Strabo, Geogr. VIII. 6. 5), Pelasgicon pedion (Strabo, Geogr. Ix. 5. 22), meaning the plain of the Pelasgians, and Pelasgia (Hecateus, Fragm. 334, in Fragm Hist. graec. I. Ed. Didot, p. 25; Ibid, vol. IV. P. 501; Eustathius, Comm. In Dionysium v. 427).


Q.What are Hellenes?
A. Herodotus: from The History, c. 430 B.C., I.56-59

We must pronounce that the Pelasgi spoke a barbarous language. If this were really so, and the entire Pelasgic race spoke the same tongue, the Athenians, who were certainly Pelasgi, must have changed their language at the same time that they passed into the Hellenic body...The Hellenic race has never, since its first origin, changed its speech. ...... It was a branch of the Pelasgic, which separated from the main body, and at first was scanty in numbers and of little power; but it gradually spread and increased to a multitude of nations, chiefly by the voluntary entrance into its ranks of numerous tribes of barbarians. The Pelasgi, on the other hand, were, as I think, a barbarian race which never greatly multiplied.

So they(helenes) were scanty in numbers and little powers, therefore the culture and territories belonged to Pelasgians.

Q.Who are pelasgians?
A.Strabonis Book VII
....And even to the present day the Thracians, Illyrians, and Epeirotes live on the flanks of the Greeks (though this was still more the case formerly than now); indeed most of the country that at the present time is indisputably Greece is held by the barbarians--Macedonia and certain parts of Thessaly by the thracians,and the parts above Acarnania and Aetolia by the Thesproti, the Cassopaei,the Amphilochi, the Molossi, and the Athamanes--Epeirotic tribes.

Q. Who are Illyrians, and Epeirotes and Macedonians(old)
1.-----A. SCANDERBED (Albanian national hero)

Knowledge of my race. My elders(for all albanians not Scanderbeg only-my note) were from Epirus, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies."

"I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep(ALBANIANS-my note). But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"

2.------DICTIONARIVM -LATINO-EPIROTICVM
http://www.mdevaan.nl/research/Blanchus.pdf


Herodotus Clio pg 13 These were the Lacedaemonians and the Athenians, the former of Doric, the latter of Ionic blood. And indeed these two nations had held from very, early times the most distinguished place in Greece, the being a Pelasgic, the other a Hellenic people, and the one having never quitted its original seats, while the other had been excessively migratory; for duringthe reign of Deucalion, Phthiotis was the country in which the Hellenes dwelt, but under Dorus, the son of Hellen, they moved to the tract at the base of Ossa and Olympus, which is called Histiaeotis; forced to retire from that region by the Cadmeians, they settled, under the name of Macedni, in the chain of Pindus. Hence they once more removed and came to Dryopis; and from Dryopis having entered the Peloponnese in this way, they became known as Dorians. What the language of the Pelasgi was I cannot say with any certainty. If, however, we may form a conjecture from the tongue spoken by the Pelasgi of the present day- those, for instance, who live at Creston above the Tyrrhenians, who formerly dwelt in the district named Thessaliotis, and were neighbours of the people now called the Dorians- or those again who founded Placia and Scylace upon the Hellespont, who had previously dwelt for some time with the Athenians- or those, in short, of any other of the cities which have dropped the name but are in fact Pelasgian; if, I say, we are to form a conjecture from any of these, we must pronounce that the Pelasgi spoke a barbarous language. If this were really so, and the entire Pelasgic race spoke the same tongue, the Athenians, who were certainly Pelasgi

Herodotus, Polymnia ix.) .....The Ionians furnished a hundred ships, and were armed like the Greeks. Now these Ionians, during the time that they dwelt in the Peloponnese and inhabited the land now called Achaea (which wasbefore the arrival of Danaus and Xuthus in the Peloponnese), were called, according to the Greek account, Aegialean Pelasgi, or "Pelasgi of the Sea-shore"; but afterwards, from Ion the son of Xuthus, they were called Ionians.

Herodotus Urania pg 9 The Athenians, when the region which is now called Greece was held by the Pelasgi, were Pelasgians, and bore the name of Cranaans; but under their king Cecrops, they were called Cecropidae

The Islanders furnished seventeen ships, and wore arms like the
Greeks. They too were a Pelasgian race, who in later times took the name of Ionians for the same reason me reason as those who inhabited the twelve cities founded from Athens.

The Aeolians furnished sixty ships, and were equipped in the
Grecian fashion. They too were anciently called Pelasgians, as the
Greeks declare.

Iliad Rapsodies 1-6 The Dardanians were led by brave Aeneas, whom Venus bore to Anchises, when she, goddess though she was, had lain with him upon the mountain slopes of Ida. He was not alone, for with him were the two sons of Antenor, Archilochus and Acamas, both skilled in all the arts of war

Homerus Iliad Rapsodies i) Hippothous led the tribes of Pelasgian spearsmen, who dwelt in fertile Larissa- Hippothous, and Pylaeus of the race of Mars, two sons of the Pelasgian Lethus, son of Teutamus


New authors:
Dorian Greeks settled in Illyria before 2000 BC, ancient regions of the Balkan peninsula occupied by Indo-European-speaking tribes, including the Dalmatians and Pannonians. Warlike and piratical, they withstood (6th cent. B.C.) Greeks attracted by their iron mines and later attacks by Macedonians.
The Romans conquered them and set up (168-167 B.C.) the province of Illyricum.

The following ex. give a clear answer about argives, danaus, peloponesus and arcadians, tyrrenoi people, thesaly(when achiles comes from) etc

1.Strabonis Book V Chapter 2 ... And Thessaly is called "the Pelasgian Argos..

1.Hecataeus, makes Pelasgus king of Thessaly (expounding Iliad, 2.681-684)

2.Sophocles takes the same view (Inachus, fragment. 256) and for the first time introduces the ethnonym Tyrrhenoi, apparently as synonymous with "Pelasgians

3. Hellanicus(Supplices I, sqq.), repeats this identification a generation later, and identifies this Argive or Arcadian Pelasgus with the Thessalian Pelasgus of Hecataeus.

4.The historian Ephorus preserves a passage from Hesiod that attests to a tradition of an aboriginal Pelasgian people in Arcadia, and developed a theory of the Pelasgians as a warrior-people spreading from a "Pelasgian home", and annexing and colonizing all the parts of Greece.

------
And here a part of the list of people who participated in war
......
PHLEGYAI

Capital: Trikke

"They who held Trikke and the terraced place of Ithome, and Oikhalia, the city of Oikhalian Eurytos, of these in turn the leaders were two sons of Asklepios, good healers both themselves, Podaleirios and Makhaon. In their command were marshalled thirty hollow vessels." - Homer, The Iliad 2.729

ORMENIOS

Capital: Ormenios

"They who held Ormenios and the spring of Hypereia, they who held Asterion and the pale peaks of Titanos, Eurypylos led these, the shining son of Euaimon. Following along with him were forty black ships." - Homer, The Iliad 2.734

DOROS

At the time of the Trojan War the kingdom of Doros was ruled by the Herakleidai (sons of Herakles). They did not take part in the Trojan War since the Heraklid suitor of Helene, Tlepolemos, had been exiled to the island of Rhodes.

LAPITHAI

Capital: Gyrtone

"They who held Argissa and dwelt about Gyrtone, Orthe and Elone and the white city of Oloosson, of these the leader was Polypoites, stubborn in battle, son of Peirithoos whose father was Zeus immortal, he whom glorious Hippodameia bore to Peirithoos on that day when he wreaked vengeance on the Pheres [the Centaurs] and drove them from Pelion ... Following in the guidance of these were forty black ships." - Homer, The Iliad 2.738
Remember..... Hippothous led the tribes of Pelasgian spearsmen

PERRRHAIBIA

Capital: Kyphos, Dodona

"Gouneus from Kyphos led two and twenty vessels, and the Enienes and the Perrhaibians stubborn in battle followed him, they who made their homes by wintry Dodona, and they who by lovely Titaressos held the tilled acres, Titaressos, who into Peneios casts his bright current: yet he is not mixed with silver whirls of Peneios, but like oil is floated along the surface above him." - Homer, The Iliad 2.748
..........


So Dorians (hellenes) did not take part in war, period.

Go to google and punch "dorians origin"
You will see "Greeks Origin"
These people are the only greeks history knows and their roots are from Illyria+epirus=arberia (in old times was bigger than that)


Dorian

Any member of a major division of the ancient Greeks. Coming from the north and northwest, they conquered the Peloponnese c. 1100 – 1000 BC, overran the remnants of the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations, and ushered in a dark age that lasted almost three centuries, until the rise of the Greek city-states. They had their own dialect and were organized into three tribes. Patterns of settlement determined their alliances in later Greek conflicts. To Greek culture they gave the Doric order of architecture, the tragic choral lyric, and a militarized aristocratic government. They assimilated into Greek societies in some cases, but in Sparta and Crete they held power and resisted cultural advancement.

North and northwest means-Illyria+epirus

Minoan (3000-1500 BC)
"Minoan" culture on Crete, with large population and rich palace-centres. Non-Greek speakers.(Linear A - still undeciphered)

Dark Age" (transition to Iron Age) (1100-850 BC) Dorians enter in Greece About 1100 (b.c.) the Dorians entered the area, armed with iron spears and shields and whipped out the Myceans.
Break-up of Mycenaean civilization; Greek settlements throughout the Aegean Islands and the coast of Asia Minor. (Linear B script used for palace records)

Geometric and Archaic Period (850-480 BC)
Alphabetic script adapted from Phoenician in Greece, ca 750.
Emergence of the classical Greek city-states, governed by family groups or dictators (mainly 7th-6th century),or democracies (begun by Athens, 5th century)

High Classical Period (480-323 BC)
Greek city-states flourish until overshadowed by the powerful Macedonian kings. Philip of Macedon rules Greece; his son Alexander campaigns as far east as India, conquering Persia and Egypt, before dying in 323 BC

Hellenistic Period (323-146 BC); Roman Republic (to 44 BC)
Alexander's empire fragments into Greek monarchies in Macedonia, Syria and Egypt.
Roman overseas expansion begins in 208 BC;
Hellenization of Roman myth & religion.
Greece becomes a Roman province.
The Roman Republic ends with a seizure of power by Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BC)

c.1100 The Dorians destroyed Mycenae. According to legend, Timenos, Chief of the Dorians, founded the Argos Regime in Peloponnesus. Xanthos, Chief of the Aeolians, founded the Thebes Regime in Boeotia.
Do you understand now that Achaeans were wiped out by Helenes(Dorians).Therefore they dont belong to Hellenes culture. On the top of that Achaeans had only very limited territory occupying only the northern part of the Peloponnesus on the Gulf of Corinth. What about the rest?

Ionians, Arcadians and Aeolians were originally pelasgians and joined the helenic body only shortly before the begining of High Classical Period.

1. ---- Argos, the kingdom of Agamemnon, famous for its cities Mycenae and Tirynth, where have been discovered in our time priceless treasures of a buried Pelasgian civilization, had also been a country of the Pelasgians. Argos is given the name Pelasgia by Eschyl (Prom. v. 860), Euripides (Orestes, v. 675, 849, 1611; Iphig. in Aulida, v. 1494; Erakles mainomenos, v. 462), Eustathius (Comm. In Dionysium, 347), and Strabo (lib. VIII. 6. 9).
2.---- Arcadia, a region surrounded by mountains and inhabited by a pastoral people with simple and patriarchal mores, had once the name “Pelasgia” (Steph. Byz. ‘Arkadia; Herodotus, lib.I. 146).
3.---- Beotia also, a country rich in sheep flocks and herds of cattle and horses, with the famous Parnassus and Helicon mountains, with their fine valleys dedicated to the divinities, had been inhabited in ancient times by Pelasgians (Strabo, lib. IX. 2. 25; Ibid. IX. 2. 3).
4.---- The entire Peloponessus, a country covered in vast woodlands, crisscrossed by numerous rivers and streams, with very favorable conditions for a pastoral life, had been called in antiquity Pelasgia, as the historians Acusilaus (fragm 11, Frag. Hist. graec. I. p. 101), and Ephorus (fragm. 54, ibid. p. 248; Pliny, lib. IV. 5. 1) tell us.
5.---- Thessaly, the most fertile and beautiful territory of ancient Greece, situated between Olympus, Ossa, Pelion and Pindus mountains, had once bore the name Pelasgicon Argos (Homer, Iliad, II. v. 681; Strabo, Geogr. VIII. 6. Pelasgicon pedion (Strabo, Geogr. Ix. 5. 22), meaning the plain of the Pelasgians, and Pelasgia (Hecateus, Fragm. 334, in Fragm Hist. graec. I. Ed. Didot, p. 25; Ibid, vol. IV. P. 501; Eustathius, Comm. In Dionysium v. 427)

Let's live in peace with our neigbour(GREEKS) because the History belong to us.

Read the materials in page 4 in this topic...

@ All
Dear greek and south slavic propagandists and pseudo nationalists, leave us to discuss about the topic, because it's really interesting for normal peoples.

P.S.:
Also, about maps, you have to understand that they don't describe the autochthony always, but they are the result of expensions (invasions). We have survival history and as you go deeper in time, will see that our territory is larger. Restriction (contraction) of our territory is continuous occurrence since prehistory, we can't boast with any map, except the oldest ones that comfort us a little bit (because contraction is lower).
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...3356751&type=1
We have also occupations maps that there is no Albania, but this does not mean that there was no Albanian ...
In fact these are maps that invasions are documented. Even just on the basis of maps of this kind, neighbors claim territories. And not whith autochthony.


P.S.:
Albanians have a surviving history and they don't care about history, or to tell you who were, or to know more about these things... Albanian nationalism is 0... that's why these people who still survived remained around separated borders from the year 1913 (for the last time that we were divided), still can't make their natural state, to reach the point (o)zero, like every nation in Europe, because now we are in - (minus). The institutions don't care about these things too... the primary task about us was to survive from invaders... and now is to make money, because the poverty has been a permanent problem about us, this fact make terrain about predatory neighbors, to continue with their claims to take the whole country.
I'm interesting about history, only because I am angry whith the poor anti-albanian propaganda which circulates from the southern Slavs and Greeks, only because they still want to tear apart the territory of the Albanians wich is left and the right of autochthony make nervous the predatory neighbors.

...but these studies about the language, culture, symbolism, antropology, history of the albanians... are done from foreign scientists (Germans, French, British, Americans, Italians, and even some truth seekers Slavic and Greek scientists). They have observed a very old language, very ancient symbolism, old race and very old model of culture at all, of these survival people that are trying to Self-isolate themself in mountains, from permanent invasions. But if for the scientists albanians are treasure, guarded from the modern deformation, the dark side of this fact is the ignorance of the survivors and cultural inclination/trend/propensity what is recorded in DNA and have to pass more than 6,000 years to alter fundamentally.

Besides preserving the old original language of Europe (Pelasgian language), regardless of atrocities, speak for the original words, that method through the comparison of languages, and ethymology, it turns out that this language was the creator language of the elite of that time (Greek language) and that of laters, Latin language (read about pelasgian language, to make a parallel), then, for addition to the language, the culture in general is preserved in its originality in the Albanian mountains ... symbolism also ... cultural trend even for Albanians remained pagan ... they use modified pagan elements in monotheistic religions imposed later by the invasion, celebrate pagan festivals ... Albania for a period even proclaimed as the first atheist country in the world ... This also explains the amazing religious harmony ... because cultural trend is the same. Only these recently years with the uncontrolled opening of this state from outside influences, have begun disruption observed.
 
all i have said are based more on the studies of Eqerem Cabej and in our written history form our historians, not from others who most of them are paid to lie, most of things that you can find in internet are not based on real studies. later i will translate you smth

Who is paid to lie and why? This is a strange attitude, most historians are biased in some way, including your own btw, but they are only presenting an interpretation, opinion or theory on available (or in this case unavailable) data. Just because you personally may not agree with a particular interpretation does not make it a lie, it can only ever be a differing point of view.

Imo, the worst scenario is when nationaltism uses and distorts history for self justification, or in an effort for a nation to re-invent itself.
 
... and now, let's focus on the topic... we are talking about Fustanella
I enjoy talking whith books (professional studies), and I think that this new book is useful too:

+ Read more about the adoption of fustanella by the new Greeks:
http://www.google.com/#q=the+Albanian+fustanella%2C+which+was+adopted+by+the+Greeks&hl=en&prmd=imvnsfd&source=lnms&tbm=bks&ei=pwV8TsDnFYO70QW85uUF&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=8&ved=0CA4Q_AUoBw&prmdo=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=83de6c4bbdb0d450&biw=1024&bih=602

...{"fustan"-dress in albanian (and in no other language) = "funt/d"-the lower part of the dress; "an"-side (or the lower side of the dress - Fustanella);
Also "fus" - put, set, or wear and "tan" - all... so I put all my body in (this is for the womens dress-Fustan)... and "nella" is suffix to explain shorter Fustan-Fustanella.
Fustan is women dress; Fustanella is male dress;
Also "fút" (whith accent at "u"), is the name of that type of clothing, which we put forward at the bottom of the body, when we have to work something.... like freemasons today:)}...

This is the truth. Southern yugoslavs re-invent themselves as macedonians then try to prove it. Albanians try to think themselves as Illyrians then try to prove it, this is totaly backwards on what historians do, we look at the evidence then make conclutions, not the other way around. This is what nationalism does, it doesn't have to be correct, the masses just need to think its correct, but in the long run it will not hold up.

So albanians here keep on posting over strech assumptions because that's what they are assumptions.
