The self-proclaimed Greeks from Greece have now resurfaced more aggressively than never before, putting to their use every channel and means possible to spread their systematic propaganda about Epirus in the virtual world!
Their whole political movement since 1913 has been to achieve and justify the military occupation of the lower half of Epirus aka Çameria and to lay claim to the northern part of Epirus or as it is called today Toskeria. To lay claim to these lands they produce maps and bring selective quotes from some ancient authors and historians, trying to prove the ethnic Hellenic ruts of the people of Epirus, ruts of whom they (the Greeks) do not belong themselves but they claim to be of! In most cases these quotes are brought forth edited, miss-quoted and in such a way that their true meaning has been lost or is being miss lead as to work in their favour.
Our purpose here is to smash their evil lies and shed light to the truth! Below we will show their historical quotes, how they miss lead and miss interpret the true meaning of them.

EXAMPLE NR.1
Alexander, the Epirote, when waging war against the Illyrians, first placed a force in ambush, and then dressed up some of his own men in Illyrian garb, ordering them to lay waste his own, that is to say, Epirote territory. When the Illyrians saw that this was being done, they themselves began to pillage right and left the more confidently since they thought that those who led the way were scouts. But when they had been designedly brought by the latter into a disadvantageous position, they were routed and killed.
Frontinus, Stratagems, Book II, V. On ambushes
DECONSTRUCTION:
This quote is like a spark, it dies out as fast as it lights up! Unfortunately the forcefully indoctrinated Greeks use this quote to deny the same ethnic ruts of Illyrians and Epiriots, but, not having the same exact costumes cant prove that Illyrians and Epiriots were of different ethnic back round. Because as in modern times also in the ancient times costumes were worn as to the popularity of those times.
Below Plutarch tells us something very interesting:
Several of these Pyrrhus himself sent privately, pretending to be Macedonians, and saying, now was the time to be delivered from the severe government of Demetrius by coming over to Pyrrhus, a gracious prince and a lover of soldiers. By this artifice a great part of the army was in a state of excitement, and the soldiers began to look every way about inquiring for Pyrrhus. It happened he was without his helmet, till understanding they did not know him, he put it on again, and so was quickly recognized by his lofty crest and the goat’s horns he wore upon it. Then the Macedonians, running to him, desired to be told his password, and some put oaken boughs upon their heads, because they saw them worn by the soldiers about him. Some persons even took the confidence to say to Demetrius himself, that he would be well advised to withdraw and lay down the government. And he, indeed, seeing the mutinous movements of the army to be only too consistent with what they said, privately got away, disguised in a broad hat and a common soldier’s coat. So Pyrrhus became master of the army without fighting, and was declared King of the Macedonians.
Plutarch, Pyrrhus, 11
As it seems the Epiriots have used a very fine tuned strategy the likes of which could be named espionage, trying to subdue the enemy from with in and destroy hi, trying to kill two birds with one stone! Nowhere in this quote does Plutarch distinguish the Epirots form the Macedonians ethnically. Its not like people of the same ethnic back round havent waged war against one another, more so in the ancient times where every one was trying to gain more territory at the expense of the others. Weve all heard of brothers killing the other brother just so they can get the crown, have we not? To give the reader a reflection to better understand the ethnography we are bringing a quote from the ancient geographer Strabo:
