Epeiros, Macedonia and Thessaly were all inhabited by Greek tribes. Epeiros, Macedonia and Thessaly had more in common than any other Greek state. All three were kingdoms [monarchies], a form of government highly disliked by the Greeks in the South [Sparta being a sole exception had two kings]. For Epeiros and Macedonia monarchy was the result of the pastoral life which forced people to live in areas surrounded by mountains and be isolated from the other Greeks. Despite references by Thucydides that the Epeirotians were not Greek, excavations in Epeiros in the 1950s proved such claims of Thucydides to be totally untrue, since it can now be proved that Molossians, Athamanians, Chaones and Thesprotians and other peo- ple living in Epeiros [known collectively as Epeirotians] were Greek, speaking Greek and writing in Greek throughout the life- time of Thucydides and even before that according to the archaeo- logical evidence found so far. Ancient Greeks (Iliad P.234) believed that Dodoni in Epeiros was the center of the Hellenic world and that the names Hellas and Hellenes were first given to the people of Epeiros also called Graecoi, the root of the English word 'Greek'. For more details we refer to Aristotle's Meteorologica 352a, 34. Macedonians were in close contacts with both the Thessalians and the Epeirotians. Marriages among the members of the royal fami- lies of the three kingdoms were common. Olympias, mother of Alex- ander the Great, was a Molossian princess. Molossians believed that the founder of their tribe was Neoptolemos son of homeric Achilles. Macedonians and Epeirotians were many times allies. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

The Pella curse tablet(katadesmos), is a magic spell text, dating to the mid-4th century BC and it was found in 1986 in Pella. It is the only full text written in the ancient Macedonian dialect, clearly a form of Doric Greek. The low social status of its writer strongly hint that Greek was spoken by lay people in Ancient Macedonia, proving that FYRO"M" propaganda of "non-Greek" Macedonian language or the use of Greek only by upper class, is a big lie. " Doric language was a dialect spoken in Ancient Greece, overshadowed during the Classical Age by other dialects such as Ionic-Attic, Aeolic, and Arcado Cypriot, the latter dominating Greek language from the 5th century BC onward. Dorian artistic elements proved to be integral to the artistic traditions of ancient Greece. Among the many artistic elements used by the Greeks, was the Doric architectural element of large order and structure, which first originated within the populated cities of the southern Aegean. Other artistic contributions of the Dorians included the use of choral lyrics in Greek Tragedy. References "Dorian" Britannica Online. http://www.eb.com:180/cgi-bin/g?

Did you read that? A 'past that never was'. wake up please " Dorians any member of a major division of the ancient Greek people, distinguished by a well-marked dialect and by their subdivision, within all their communities, into the "tribes" (phylai) of Hylleis, Pamphyloi, and Dymanes. These three tribes were apparently quite separate in origin from the four tribes found among the Ionian Greeks. The Dorian people are traditionally acknowledged as the conquerors of the Peloponnese (in the period 1100--1000 bc). Britannica online. Post reply 2 out of 2 found this valuable.
