THE DECEITFUL GREEK PROPAGANDA FOR ALEXANDER THE GREAT, MACEDONIA AND EPIR! (PART II)

Let’s start to expose some fallacies and liars signed by Greek Propaganda</p>


***Greek Claim 1 #: “Barbarian term does not mean denied of being Greek”</p>


Is that right?  The Greek nationalists speak with so much accuracy as if to have lived in that time to know what meaning had the term ‘barbar’.  The term ‘barbar’ precisely means non-Greek, since implies another language that doesnt get understood by the Greeks.  Taking in consideration the hinge that recognized that ‘the language determined the ethnicity’ therefore comes to light that Macedonians as well as the Epirotes were non-Greeks.</p>


</p>


-For Macedonians as barbarians talk: Herodotus,Demosthenesnes, Trasimachus, Strabo etc.</p>


-For Epirotes as barbarians talks: Thucididies, PseudoSylax, Strabo, etc.</p>


The word ‘Barbarian’ is onomatopoeic, the bar-bar representing the impression of random hubbub produced by hearing a spoken language that one cannot understand, similar to blah blah, babble or rhubarb in modern English. Related imitative forms are found in other Indo-European languages, such as Sanskrit barbara-, “stammering” or “curly-haired.</p>


Clearly is shown the term barbar has been given to the people that were not Greeks and didnt spoke Greek.  Greeks want to be more smart than Herodotus, Thucididies and Strabo, saying that ‘barbar’ intends ‘uncivilized Greek’ as should be or ‘Greek dialects’.</p>


According to this idiotic logic, Egyptians and Persians have been ‘uncivilized Greeks’. That is why the truth that were told by  Herodotus, Thucididies, Strabo etc stand even to this day.</p>


***Greek claim 2#: ‘Macedonians were non-Illyrian because they spoken distinct languages’</p>


Greeks can hold all they want this attitude- no one has stopped them-in their propaganda, but the science of history is not a Greek propaganda.  All the historians, linguistics and modern archaeologists, are in the same mind that Illyria, Macedonia and Epir have been represented from one uniformed ethnicity, as in aspect of language as of that of traditions and customs, archeology, etc.  Let’s serve a short message from the father of Geography Strabo:</p>


“The Amphibiansre the peoples who are situated above them and border on the Illyrian mountains, inhabiting a rugged country I mean the Molossi, the Athamanes, the Aethices, the Tymphaei, the Orestae, and also the Paroraei and the Atintanes, some of them being nearer to the Macedonians and others to the Ionian Gulf. It is said that Orestes once took possession of Orestias when in exile on account of the murder of his mother and left the country bearing his name; and that he also founded a city and called it Argos Oresticum. But the Illyrian tribes which are near the southern part of the mountainous country and those which are above the Ionian Gulf are intermingled with these peoples; for above Epidamnus and Apollonia as far as the Ceraunian Mountains dwell the Bylliones, the Taulantii, the Parthini, and the Brygi. (…) Then, because one tribe or another was always getting the mastery over others, they all ended in the Macedonian empire, except a few who dwelt above the Ionian Gulf. And in fact the regions about Lyncus, Pelagonia, Orestias, and elimeia, used to be called Upper Macedonia, though later on they were by some also called Free Macedonia. But some go so far as to call the whole of the country Macedonia, as far as Corcyra, at the same time stating as their reason that in tonsure, language, short cloak, and other things of the kind, the usages of the inhabitants are similar, although, they add, some speak both languages.”</p>


(~Strabo, Geography, Book VII, Chapter 7) </p>


Strabo here talks without a doubt for a unity between the tribes of Illyrians, Epir, and Macedonia in the aspect of language, traditions and customs.</p>


“But there remain to be described the southerly parts of the aforesaid mountainous country and next thereafter the districts that are situated below them, among which are both Greece and the adjacent barbarian country as far as the mountains. Now 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…</p>


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“</p>


(~Strabo, Geography, BOOK VII, Chapter 7, 1).</p>


Some have to really ache from ignorance to show the contrary of what Strabo said.  He clearly says that barbarians live in the biggest part of Macedonia and Epir considering allusive Thracian’s and Illyrians. Strabo, even makes it known which was the original Macedonia and her ancient name.</p>


“What is now called Macedonia was in earlier times called Emathia. And it took its present name from Macedon, one of its early chieftains. And there was also a city emathia close to the sea. Now a part of this country was taken and held by certain of the Epeirotes and the Illyrians, but most of it by the Bottiaei and the Thracians“</p>


(~Strabo, Geography, Book VII, 11)</p>


</p>


“MACEDONIA was formerly called Emathia, from the name of king Emathion, of whose prowess the earliest proofs are extant in those parts”.</p>


(~Marcus Junianus Justinus~Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus, Book VII, 1).</p>


Strabo and Justin in one voice confirm that the ancient name for Macedonia was Emathia.  Justin seems to have given us the answer inside the lines.  He says that the king of Emathia existed as the first model of bravery.   Albanian comes as a help in this case for the reaso
