May I suggest you research Caratacus the real hero of Celtic Britian against Rome. He has a fascinating tale and a noble end after opposing the Roman legions directly at the Battle of the Medway where he lost his brother Togudumnus then going on to lead an estimated 15 year guerilla war against Roman occupation before being betrayed by the ignoble Queen of the Brigantes tribe named Cartimandua to the Romans who accorded him and his family mercy and allowed them to live out there lives in Rome furnishing them a villa etc they must of respected him a great deal, unlike say Vercingetorix the famous leader of the Gauls who was ritually strangled to death after imprisonment and torture in Rome. He is also accredited a very noble speech in Rome to his conquerors which can be found with research, to rival Brennus's 'Woe to the conquered' and the ' We fear only that the sky may fall on our heads' of earlier times.
Jimbo I've actually just finished a 12 minute video on Caratacus. Coming soon :)
I look forward to it =D
Pyrrhus is Illyrian King which means he is Albanian not greek, read some books first then tell the people this storys
History Time You should better be based on ancient greek authors instead of todays greek historiography which is a complete forgery.At least Herodotus sad clearly that Alexander and Pyrrhus were barbarians.It's greek propaganda to justifie the occupation of South Macedonia and South Epirus.
Hannibal had the same problem as Pyrrhus. He won every engagement but by the time the path was clear to Rome he didn't have an army left to take the city. Rome at this time almost felt like the soviet union in WW2 no matter how many you kill they will keep forming new armies to attack you until you have nothing left.
Marty Moose in layman's terms: Rome has Plenty of Manpower
Marty Moose Yeah, Both Hannibal and Pyrrhus both had capable armies but we're limited in manpower and funding...Rome could afford to lose battles because of there shear manpower...Aside from fighting in Greece and the Italian peninsulas, the Macedonians were too busy fighting in Asia Minor and as far as Bactria...In one bizarre war during this time, homesick Greek supplements (garrisons) that were stationed in Bactria during the Alexander Wars suddenly abandoned their posts en mass in order return back home to Greece Homeland....The
controlling Macedonian Kingdom of former Persia (or some type of shit)led an offensive to put down a potential Greek-led takeover (20,000 Greeks were stationed just in Bactria alone)...Greeks fighting against (Greeks)...The Macedonian Successors were still loathed by thier brother states to the South...Kingdoms were obsolete and dangerous but still brutally effective in the conducting warfare...City-States were socially adaptive but failed in decisive moments due to public debate
I think the problem with hannibal was that Carthage didn't throw their support behind him fully, and even recalled him when Rome counter - invaded. Scipio had also been studying Hannibal from the shadows, perhaps this is why he won at the Battle of Zama. Hannibal for whatever reason didn't invade Rome, Spartacus was the same? I'm no history guru though.
I can only imagine what the world would have been like if these Roman's were the ones around during the Hunnic, Goth and Vandal incursions.
The war of attrition.
"Mission failed, we'll get 'em next time" ~ Pyrrhus, 279 BC
Hahaha, Brilliant
really goes to show one slip up and it could be the end of you're culture.
Too soon
don't get it :(
PYRRO MEANING NAME, ALBANIA IS BURRO, GREECE IS ANDROS, INGLES IS MAN, ITALI IS UOMO, PYRRO IS WORD ALBANIAN, PYRRO IS MAN ALBANIAN.
Haha that's amazing and sums up the romans so well
"If we beat these romans one more time we will be utterly ruined"
Yeah, Carthage had the same problem for sure in the two Punic Wars. They were like "Ha! We beat you again Rome! Now for the terms of our peace treaty..." and Rome was like "No. We'll just build a new army/fleet and see you again next year Carthage."
Sultan of Salad the reason he didn't outright attack Rome was because he was hopping to persuade Rome's Italian allies to his side. That way he would not be attacked from behind as he lay siege
Hannibal actually believed he couldn't take Rome itself. His victories were based on out-manouvering and out-thinking his enemies. In a direct attack on Rome he would not have been able to do that, and it is very likely he would have lost.
Had Carthage provided him with significant reinforcements though so he could actually outnumber and outpower the Romans he could have taken the city.
you know the romans are badass when even when you beat them you still lose
Jack J; yes, at that time in the Republic, the Romans were absolute fanatics in wanting to win.
It is reported that on his departure from Sicily Pyrrhus looked back upon the island, and said to those about him, "How brave a field of war do we leave, my friends, for the Romans and Carthaginians to fight in"
He was war-a-holic
In the Persian language the word/name Pyrrhus (Iranianized as Piruz) means "Epic victory" or "Hard fought victory".
Iron Warrior its so Epic that he lost half of his army and still victorious!
That's because the Persian term is borrowed from the phrase Pyrrhic Victory.
Fascinating - thank you for that!
BECAUSE ITS borrowed from the Pyrrhic Victory duuuh
Ironic being that the battle of asculum was a victory barely won. There was nothing epic about it.
It's surprising to me how rarely Pyrrhus of Epirus is brought up in history books. He did many eventful things when he was Emperor.
Yeah because epirus was south albania nowadays but greeks stole the history so they don’t want to mention to much because the propaganda, same with queen teuta king agron skenderbeg all Albanians but greeks claim as theirs.
@@Edvin-gn1hr albania did not even become a concept until slavs moved there hundreds of years later
@@lukezafiris7273 yeah historian you are right 🥱🤦♂️
@@Edvin-gn1hr pyrrhus of epirus was born in greece, spoke greek, worshipped greek gods and referred to himself and his army as GREEK in all records of his life. This was 300 years before the birth of Christ. Albania became a country in 1912, more than TWO THOUSAND years after these events occured. But whatever you say buddy, he was definitely an Albanian slav. Fucking idiot.
@@lukezafiris7273 Epirus is albanian and no greek or slavs were allowed to enter without permission.
Phyrrus is derived from the ancient Greek word Πυρ, which means Fire 🔥! The english word Fire is also derived from Πυρ, Pir, Phir, Phire, Fire.
The English word isn't derived from the Greek word, they both come from a common root in Proto-Indo-European.

And the greatest adversary of Rome was killed by an old lady breaking his spine with a piece of rooftile. Lol
Such was life
LordVader1094 I’m pretty sure sure Hannibal didnt have his spine broken
He was only 25 apparently...
@@michaelgoldsmith9359 I believe he committed suicide while the Romans were hunting him in the east
@@quantumtree9276 correct, he did commit suicide.
unfortunately the great pyrrhus had no the appropriate manpower as macedonian kings had like alexander in order to conquer rome....the roman had a lot of men and allies....pyrrhus knew how to beat them but he could not replenish his losses...also his allies the tarantines and the other greek states did not reenforced him with hoplites as they had said before..and even these bad circumstances he managed to lost the last battle in beneventum (before making the romans to speak for peace terms) in some strategic details ..as a result pyrrhus lost the battle against rome because of other reasons and not beacause of the use of phallanx against the legion
Dimitraukoulas, PURRUS PYRRO MEANING NAME, ALBANIA IS BURRUS, IS BURRO, GREECE IS ANDROS, IS ANDRES, INGLES IS MAN, IS MEN, PYRRO IS ALBANIAN MAN, ALBANIA BURRO, GREECE ANDROS, INGLES MAN, PYRRO IS HERO ALBANIAN TRIBE.

More Greece docs please. Big fan of History Time and of Greece.
Wish you can make a video on Mithridates the Great
Can you make a clip about what the Romans learned from their enemies? For example, from Pyrrhus they learned the practice of building a temporary camp at the end of the day for protection.
Glorious Pyrrhus ( Πυρός )🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 from greek word (πυρ)pir /phir= fire 🔥🔥
Gelis Geo
And Pyrrhus = Pirros (Pirro)
Which is an Ancient Illyrian name.
@@UA-camr-gm9xf illyrians use greek names letters and words many times. That is usual because some tribes of Illyrians was Greeks
Gelis Geo
Some Ancient Illyrian tribes were Greeks??? 😂😂😂😂
Name me just 1 Illyrian tribe that was Greek... (I am waiting)
Gelis Geo
Ancient Illyrian language is OLDER than Ancient Greek, so only you could have taken words from us.
@@UA-camr-gm9xf with what evidence you say that? 😂 Of course Illyrian was ancient language as greek but not more ancient..secondly Illyrian they didn't have even letters .This language was only spelling language in modern times Illyrians trying to use greek letters..
Best Greek Factions in Rome 2:
1. Sparta
2. Pontus
3. Macedonia
4. Epirus
5. Syracuse
6. Athens
RobZoneFire Seleucids are by far the best...silver shield pikeman (best pike unit), silver shield swordsman and hellenic cataphracts, not to mention the elephants
Egypt is quite strong too. The axemen are op af
RobZoneFire I don’t understand why in Rome 2 they put Pontus in Asian tribes
Christos Christodoulou because they were in Asia Minor
Dante Alighieri but Pontus was the last Greek kingdom that really try to unite and throw away romans from Greek territory . Also they were Greeks
Pyrrhos means Redhead (see names like Xanthos, Glaucos etc.)
RIP Pyrros.
He was the last hope the Ancient Greek world had. The only one that could have truly succeeded Alexander.
Videos like this always make me cry. Pyrros and Basil II videos make me tear up. These are who we need to look up to. True leaders. True men.
Just found this channel and it's amazing, nice work
Didn't he use elephants against the Romans -an animal the Romans had never seen before?
Kalo Arepo wait... Where did he get the elephant.
The video says that!
χρονης κ. Nice, Sad they got completly extinct in Balkan. Imagine a Balkan with elephants.
There was a subspecies of lion native to north Africa known as the barbary lion and it went extinct partly because of the Romans hunting it for their gladiatorial games.Lions were once common even in the Balkans and Middle East .The tiger was once very common in the Caucasus region and it was so numerous around the Caspian Sea that it was called the Hyrcanian beast after the Persian region of that name.I believe there was also a smaller species of elephant in north Africa used by Hannibal in his invasion of Italy because the much larger African elephant is very hard to train.
Indeed Hannibal used elephants from the Atlas Mountains in todays Morocco.
Another one great greek kingdom.
Actually the greeks called the Epirotes "barbarians" which implies that they didn't consider them greek.
Epirus was not a greek city state but an Illyrian one.
the southern greeks use to underestimate the other northern greeks by calling them barbarians ..not because they were not greeks ..epirotans as well as the macedonians were greeks with greek lanuage traditions religion and culture...illyrians was a different tribal barbarian faction which use to be allied or enemy with the epirotans and th macedonians during the years...so when we speak about something lets read about history more carefully
Where do you get this shit?
Everyone fought against everyone at the time since the Illyrians were never a unified kingdom, nor where the greeks a unified kingdom. The greeks fought against each other more than against any other nation therefore your argument makes no sense.
Pyrrhus took refuge to the Taulantian king's court...I don't think he ever attacked any Illyrian tribe, but made war against the greeks instead.

Judging by your last name you are Arvanite/Albanian... so, before opening your mouth do some genetic research and I guarantee you that you'll find very little if anything at all greek about yourself.
Peace.
I thought you wanted facts snowflake. The references are cited in the article...feel free to educate yourself.

Pyrrhus is known for his candid comment. It's a pity, insofar as Hannibal called him the greatest general in history. Unlike Hannibal, Pyrrhus was a master at amphibious operations; he protected his home nation while away in foreign lands; defeated Rome as often as he was defeated; served not just his own but other Med nations; and did not overreach like Hannibal, who set the stage for the ultimate defeat of his homeland: Carthage...
Other great video like usual. Your channel remains me of history with Hilbert and that is a very good thing
Thanks mate. Hilbert is a friend of the channel :)
This channel's way better man ;)
Both the Romans and Turks managed to use internal scheming between the Greeks against themselves before conquering them. If you get deeper into the Roman conquest of Greece or the Turkish conquest of Greece it's all about politics. Without the politics they could have mounted a better defense. At the end of the day I think the Roman conquest was inevitable. They had all the momentum. The Greek world was already old and tired, tied down with old ways of fighting that weren't mobile enough to counter the Roman Legions. It's the cycle of empires.
As far as the Turks go - I think they could have been stopped from entering Europe without all the scheming.
this guy was the OP fighting game character you unlock too early and everybody bans you from using
sorry Albanians and slavs, he's not illyrian, he's a Hellene.
@HellenicFighter *nobody cares*
HellenicFighter
An Ancient civilization that defeated your country many times. ;)
HellenicFighter
Ancient Illyrians were *native* to the Western & Southern Balkans and were also the descendants of the Ancient Pelasgians. It is Greeks who originally came from Illyria which is why you borrowed a lot of words from our language.
HellenicFighter
What you are talking about is Greek *mythology* which means there is no proof that ‘Illyrios’, ‘Cadmus’ and ‘Dardanos’ even existed.
They are just Illyrian/Greek stories. Also about the coins, they were in Greek inscription because Ancient Greeks used coins before Ancient Illyrians, it does not say anything about the languages.
HellenicNationalist
Therefore Greeks were Illyrians.
Pyrrhus's army: Who will we fight against?
Pyrrhus: Yes
Pyrrhus pronounce Pee- rus not Pie rus
Pee-ros

Can you do more in depth videos of the crusader states please?!

Thanks!!
1:00 Were greeks some recently evolved sea animal wtf?
Sort of I guess:) They were a seafaring people. Greece is a country with a vast coastline and a mountainous and rugged mainland not suitable for a wide practice of agriculture. The economy of the classical Greek city-states was mostly based on trade in contrast to the prior archaic kingdoms whose economies were mostly agricultural. In the classical Greece whoever ruled the seas accumulated wealth, power and influence over the region. That's why some of the most powerful city-states had big and state of the art navies. And most of those city-states colonized a big part of the Mediterranean sea, hence the map at 1:00, leading to the Greek domination of sea trade in the region. Even today Greece has a large shipping economy and probably the second largest merchant fleet in the world and the wealthiest families in Greece are shipowners. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_shipping
Pyrhuus the Great !!! Every region of Greece is proud of something !
great vid!
Fantastic Video! You always shine extra light on topics that (Wikipedia at least) never taught me 😂
Thanks mate. So much more on the ways and soon!
Ok to all albanians here who are trying to find some place in this world. Greeks were calling barbarians the EASTERN people like Persians because of their language sounding like "Bar-bar/Μπαρ-Μπαρ". *Northern Greek city states and kingdom were already exchanging/talking/sharing since 600 B.C.*
This is from where we get the expression Pyrrhic victory.
Do you know the name Pyrrhic came from Pyrrhus?
Yep. I mention it around half way through the video :)
Inconclusive battle at Beneventum? You must be reading Pyrrhus' (pronounced pier-us as in pier-ick victory) battle reports. A short description of the battle from numerous sources easily shows the Roman victory. In wounding the his elephants the 2nd day and causing them to turn back on their own lines, Pyrrhus' army collapsed and fled the field. Not an inconclusive battle. Not by any means.
Panagiotis Konstantinou Elephants have destroyed partially or completely many an armies’ attempt at victory (Zama, Raphia). The result is the same-the other army charges forward and eliminates any remaining solders. You use elephants to win, you can use elephants to lose. They did run amok at Beneventum back toward Pyrrhus’ army. Cassius Dio wrote “ Finally, the Romans won the day, killing many men and capturing eight elephants, and they occupied the enemy's entrenchments." That’s a win on anybody’s account.

phyrrus was epirotes and epirus was greek state
Cry hard your tears give me joy
*⬇️Read Below for the Truth about Pyrros⬇️*
🛑 Welcome to the *No Skiptar Zone 🛑*
The *Greek Root for the Name Pyrros is "Pyr" which means Fire, Flame-like, Red* .
So *the Name Pyrros means "Fire-Like"* , which is used as a reference to *"Reddish, Flame-Like or Fiery-Red Colored hair"* .
The original *Neoptolemus, who was a son of Achilles* , was *also called Pyrros* .. This also had to do with his own *Reddish "Flame-Like"* colored hair but was also a reference to *his father Achilles who had taken the name Pyrrha* , the *female version* of that name, *while disguised as a woman* ..
*Achilles' mother* ,Thetis, could see into the future. Having seen that her son would die at a young age if he fought in the Trojan War, she *disguised him as a woman* and entrusted him to King Lycomedes' household on Skyros island, where he lived among the king's seven daughters.
The youthful *Achilles protested about having to disguise himself as a girl* , but he quickly *changed his mind* when he *met the beautiful Deidamia* (one of the Kings daughters).
*Deidamia* would *give birth to Achilles' son: Neoptolemus* , who would *also be "nicknamed" Pyrros* ..
""""""""""""""
".. He kept him among his virgin daughters in woman's attire under an assumed name. *The girls called him Pyrrha, since he had tawny hair, and IN GREEK a REDHEAD is called PYRRHOS* .."
*-Gaius Julius Hyginus [Fabulae 96]*
*[Palantine Library Superintendent]*
".. quem ille inter virgines filias habitu femineo servabat nomine mutato; nam virgines *Pyrrham nominarunt, quoniam capillis flavis fuit et Graece rufum "Pyrrhon" dicitur* .."
*-Gaius Julius Hyginus [Fabulae 96]*
*[Praefectus Bibliotheca Apollinis Palatini]*
""""""""""""""""""""""
*In all Latin sources, the word Pyrrhus means RED* as Pyrrha was named after her red hair* as Horace and Ovid describe her as *red haired* ..
----------------------
So *Achilles' son: Neoptolemos "Pyrros"* ended up fighting in Troy, and after the war ended, he *sailed to the Epirot Islands and then became the King of Epirus* .. With the enslaved Andromache [from Troy], *Neoptolemos "Pyrros" was the father of Molossos, the founder of the Molossian Dynasty* , and through him, an ancestor of Olympias, the Molossian mother of Alexander the Great. The later *Aeacides named his own son Pyrros as a homage* to his family's frequent namesake.
--------------------------
*The Name, Word, and Root of "PYR" & "PYRROS" is found throughout all stages if Greek History* .. Through Mycenaean Greek, Ancient Greek, Medieval "Byzantine" Greek, & Modern Greek Historiography. Here it is in the NT:
«.. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄλλος ἵππος *πυῤῥός* καὶ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἐδόθη αὐτῷ λαβεῖν τὴν εἰρήνην ἐκ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἵνα ἀλλήλους σφάξωσι, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ μάχαιρα μεγάλη ..»
*-Καινή Διαθήκη*
*[Αποκάλυψη του Ιωάννη 6.4]*
".. And there went out another horse that was *RED* and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword .."
*-New Testament*
*[Revelations 6.4 KJV]*
----
καὶ ὤφθη ἄλλο σημεῖον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἰδοὺ δράκων *πυῤῥὸς* μέγας, ἔχων κεφαλὰς ἑπτὰ καὶ κέρατα δέκα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ διαδήματα,
*-Καινή Διαθήκη*
*[Αποκάλυψη του Ιωάννη 12.3]*
".. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great *RED* dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads .."
*-New Testament*
*[Revelations 12.3 KJV]*
----
And one from the *New Testament Codex Sinaiticus* translated into NIV that *shows Pyrros [Pyrrhus] as Pyrrou, the "ou" being the classic GREEK ending to words or names showing "belonging to" or possession* as Sopatros is the SON OF Pyrros:
«.. συνείπετο δὲ αὐτῷ Σώπατρος *Πύρρου* Βεροιαῖος, Θεσσαλονικέων δὲ Ἀρίσταρχος καὶ Σεκοῦνδος, καὶ Γάϊος Δερβαῖος καὶ Τιμόθεος, Ἀσιανοὶ δὲ Τυχικὸς καὶ Τρόφιμος ..»
*-Καινή Διαθήκη*
*[Πράξεις 20.4 Σιναϊτικός Κώδικας]*
".. He was accompanied by Sopater son *OF PYRRHUS* from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia .."
*-New Testament*
*[Acts 20.4 NIV]*
^^^This shows that it had *continued to be used as a name in other Greek Regions* and also shows that it could be used as a name *as well as a word to define something Flame-like in color as the Greek root "Pyr" has ALWAYS been a root that meant FIRE/FIERY RED* ..Here it is in the Old Testament:
«.. ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐν *πυρὶ* φλογὸς ἐκ τοῦ βάτου, καὶ ὁρᾷ ὅτι ὁ βάτος καίεται *πυρί,* ὁ δὲ βάτος οὐ κατεκαίετο ..»
*-Παλαιά Διαθήκη*
*[Έξοδος 3.2]*
".. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of *FIRE* out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with *FIRE* , and the bush was not consumed .."
*-Old Testament*
*[Exodus 3.2 KJV]*
----
*[There are thousands of examples of the words with the root "Pyr" found all throughout Greek & Latin Historical Sources, and they all match according to the Greek Etymology & Meanings]*
*A special one for all Albanian Pseudo-Etymologists that claim both "Pyr" and "Chthon" type words* :
«.. ἥκω Διὸς παῖς τήνδε Θηβαίων *χθόνα*
Διόνυσος, ὃν τίκτει ποθ᾽ ἡ Κάδμου κόρη
Σεμέλη λοχευθεῖσ᾽ ἀστραπηφόρῳ *πυρί* ..»
*-Ευριπίδης [Βάκχαι 1.1-3]*
".. I, son of Zeus, have reached this *LAND* of Thebans, Dionysos, whom the daughter of Kadmos, Semele, once bore, brought to labour by lightning-bearing *FLAME* .."
*-Euripides [Bacchae 1.1-3]*

The albanians keep crying that some Athenian historians considered them barbarians despite the fact that other greek historians like Pausanias considered them greeks😂🤦they only vhoose to believe what they want and don't see the whole picture what a joke of a "nation"
@@wankawanka3053 I have over 150+ Ancient Sources that clearly attest to Epirus & Pyrros being Greek. And you are 100% Right about Pausanias:
".. *Pyrrhus* waged war against the Romans, being *the first Greek we know of to do so* .."
*-Pausanias [Description of Greece 1.11.7]*
«.. Ῥωμαίοις δὲ οὐδένα *Πύρρου πρότερον πολεμήσαντα ἴσμεν Ἕλληνα* ..»
*-Παυσανίας [Ελλάδος Περιήγησις 1.11.7]*
^^^It doesn't get more Clear Cut than that!
I also have photos of Hundreds of Ancient Greek Inscriptions from all the 3 Major Tribes of the Ancient Epirots, and they are all written in GREEK in a Unique Northwestern Dorian Greek Dialect. These range from Temple Inscriptions to even things that the "common people" would use, like Curse Tablets...All of it is in Greek!
Those Ultranationalist Pseudo Historian Skiptars are truly a JOKE!!!
Enough with their LIES & Pseudo Linguistics..I am here to Punish them with Pure FACTS & STATS !!!

So a Pyrrus a greek prince sought safe to Illyrians but no t Greeks? epirus was no Greek state
Yes, Epirus was greek
Epirus was indeed a Greek kingdom.

Great video but for the love of God stop saying Greek. Greek as a notion never existed during that time. Hellens would be the correct word. Athens, Sparta, Thebes and Corynth aside, all of the others kingdoms were not Hellens. Just because they spoke ancient greek which was the lingua franca of that period doesn't mean they were descendants of hellens. It's the other way around. Epirus, Macedon, Thrace were tribes much more closer to the Illyrians in custom and tradition. They were even considered barbarians by the "Greek city states". All of that changed because of Alexander the Great, a non hellenic outsider who conquered the "Greek city states" decided to make history in the process. The confusion starts by the fact that Alexander chose to apply hellenic administration in Greek language which was like a business language like English today. Greek language was not the mother tongue of Alexander. People didn't speak greek in the streets and at home, only when they made official statements. So in that perspective it's not surprising Pyrrhus' father sent him to the Taulanti king Glauk (Glaucas in "Greek") because they were family. So Epirus had much more in common with the Illyrians than the "Greek city states". After Alexander the Great, no "Greek" ruled again in the whole balkan region. The victors just decided to keep the ancient greek language in place. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY WERE GREEK. Constatine the Great did the same thing with the greek langauge 550 years later with the east roman church. The real greek people didn't reapear again until 1822 and still they were not Greek but Arvaniti (albanians of the south) who fought for the independance of the Modern Greek state.
SO, after Alexander the Great put an end to the real "Greek city states" you cannot say anymore greek people, nor greek kings, nor greek kingdoms. They were independant kingdoms who had nothing to do with the greek except borrowing a hellenistic culture in certain aspects of society.
Thank you Herald!
You could have also added a letter that our hero Gjergj Kastrioti sends to the King of Taranti stating that He , Skenderbeu was a descendant of Pirro and will destroy the Tarantins the same way that his predecessor did 2000 years ago.

It's funny how a random guy comments and in fact starts with "or the love of God stop saying Greek" like he knows better on a field he is apperently utterly clueless. I am sorry but besides youtube there are some thing s called books. One can actually read them. Like *any* book about ancinet history or any ancient book itself (there are free translations everywhere) talks about ancine t Greeks. They existed. I don't knw what world you liveat, if there are books and schools in your country but you have access to the internet so it's easy for you to see how wrong you are. And only there were Greeks but Pyrrhus was a famous Greek. The most detailed account we ave about Pyrrhus is the chapter "Life of Pyrrhus" in Plutarch's book "Lives of noble Greeks and Romans". Pyrrhus is according to Plutarch the Greek noble whose life is similar to that of Marius. The book is a good read. You'll find mentions to Greeks there all right. Btw, Plutarch is mentioned as a Greek in other sources too such as Pausanias.You can cpas lock as much as you want. If nazialbanianunite accounts in tiktok have apparently been your only source, enter the world of knowledge, with books.
How come Cyrus The Great is never mentioned when talking about great generals??????????????
A woman smashed him.
Cyrus the Great is not mentioned nearly enough when it comes to great conquers and general. But, in my humble opinion, Darius l is the finest of commander of Persia, and should be mentioned along with the Hannibal's and Pyrrhus's.
Edward Siddsph Alexander's toughest foe, Spitamenes, was assinated and beheaded by his own wife. Women are clever. They're not going to fight in conventional terms.

As i see you dont want to learn. If the origin of your language its based only on in the word fire i agree... This is to unite cultures not to divide peoples.
Pirro of epirus is albanian part of illirycum
Epirus was never Illyrian there is no even one ancient source ever saying that!Epirus was a Greek kingdom

Epirus (Çhamëria) was an Ancient Illyrian kingdom and even says it in the name.
Shut up
Albanians came in Epirus after 12th century

Dear Hannibal: if your role model is a guy that loses wars no matter how many battles he wins, you will likely also end up losing wars no matter the glory of your battlefield victories! Just saying...
phyrrus was not greek and epir wasn't greek too
@Έλληνας Εθνικιστής all gayreeks I have seen were brown like middle east. Italians in the other hand are white and look pure European, just like Albanians illyrians.

@Έλληνας Εθνικιστής ok now you made it clear for me, you're totally delusional pity
Well, that soldier goes down in history for killing one of the greatest generals ever. And also as being saved by his mother...
Pyrrhus is extremely over rated. He really didn’t accomplish much of anything during his reign.
Ab Urbe Condita that’s a completely different time. So you can’t compare the two. I’m not sure what Shaka Zulu has to do with the post.
Ab Urbe Condita exactly. The Greeks had better weapons and equipment. Which doesn’t make any sense to compare the two. And yes, Pyrrhus is over rated. I don’t care about Shaka at all actually.
Pyrrhus was always fighting with one tied behind his back. He was a general for hire on many occasions and did not have an army of his own. In order for total victory, he would have had to win decisively early on because he had only limited funding and man power. Not to mention, the constant shifting of alliances among the Greeks and Macedonians.
@@TheBuddahLoc same can be said about hannibal but they are known for being great tacticians and not so great strategists
I do belueve he was a genius commander, although i feel his position as a ruler was too fragile to truly challenge a growing rome. Judging from his time in syracuse he doesnt seem that good and ruling other greeks, and unless he could truly get a combined greek natiin behind him, rome would only end up invading out of revenge and likely grinding them down
who are we one of the laziest generation to ever exist to criticize Legends of the past

Arvanites nightmare of Turkogreeks Greeks never existed? Lmfao read your history books kid. We’ve always existed. We’ve have been here for more than 5,000 years. Albanians never existed. They are Muslim Greeks, Italians, and Slavs with Turkish dna.
Arvanites nightmare of Turkogreeks Pyrrhus of Epirus was a Greek.
Arvanites nightmare of Turkogreeks There is no “truth” you’re saying here. You’re obviously just a troll. Greece and the Greeks have always existed from Ancient Times to Modern Times. The Greeks called themselves Hellenes in Ancient Times. Hellene means Greek. Graekoi/Greek is Latin for Hellene. The Romans came up with the name“Graekoi” because of magna Graecia which was when the Greeks settled in southern Italy. Greeks were never called the Rumela. That word originated from the Turks and it means “land of the Romans” because the Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman Empire which the Ottoman Turks conquered. Read history you dumb ass. I’m done talking with you. Go do something with your life instead of trolling and making up history.

Was taratum settled by the Spartans?
Yes.
Pirro (Pyrrhus) in Pelasgian-Ylliria-Albanian means Pi=drink and rro=live. (And here is jumping up some greek guy to tell me that the name comes up from “pyr” the fire just because they see a drop in the ocean and they might have a connection)
As also epyrus in Greek means continent, which that part you can not call it as a continent.
But in the other hand epyrus or eperme in Albanian means the land of the water that never gets dry. Hope the nationalists here can see the connection between Pyrrhus and epyrus.
Just a quick answer for the those who have a glimpse on the comments, cuz I don’t have time to mention aaaaall the (Greek Gods) names of what do they mean in Greek and what do they really mean in Albanian language by etymology and pure Albanians language that has derived unchanged from ancient times.
And something more. I was born in Albania and grew up in Greece, i have been only to Greek school all my life and i can see both sides very clearly. On one side i have been taught history at Greek elementary- gymnasium- high school and on the other hand i can decode names and toponyms just because i speak my mother tongue. Good night haters.
My guy, just google “where did the name Pyrrhus come from” and stop with the bullshits
@@ΗκαλήΧαμογελαστή google can manipulate eazyy , i can upload like “Pirro” comes from china so what that means?, we talking facts Pirro (Pi=drink) (rro= live) 🇦🇱
@@Edvin-gn1hr Bro stop lying. Internet is a way more reliable source than Albanian historians. Albanians in general claim things without giving sources. Now you claim that the name of Pyrrhus is an Albanian name (pirro), while internet says:
Wikipedia: “Etymology. The Latinized Pyrrhus derives from the Greek Pyrrhos (/ˈpɪrəs/; Greek: Πύρρος), meaning redhaired, redheaded or flame-colored. Pyrrhos was also used as an alternate name for Neoptolemus, son of Achilles and the princess Deidamia in Homeric Greek mythology.”
Site that talks about origins of names, called “whatisthemeaningofname” says: “Meaning of Pyrrhus: From the Greek name Πυρρος (Pyrros) which meant “flame-coloured, red”, related to πυρ (pyr) “fire”. This was another name of Neoptolemus the son of Achilles. This was also the name of a 3rd-century BC king of Epirus.”
There is also a random site for babe names, called “babynames.com” which says: ”The name Pyrrhus is primarily a male name of Greek origin that means Flaming Red. In Greek mythology, the son of Achilles.”, which proves how the name Pyrrhus is globally recognized as a Greek name. While Albanian sources are the only ones who say differently
If you sit down and do a research about the name Pyrrhus. You will see that there is no even one source that claims differently. Those sites I showed you are only a few examples.
We can also understand that his name is Greek, since every single ancient coin that writes his name on it, shows the Greek language. Google “ancient epirotic coins with the name Pyrrhus” and see the Greek language they spoke (that also proves the greek-ness of ancient Epirus). If they spoke Ancient Greek, then why would their names come from the Latin alphabet? (Because “pirro” came from the Latin language/alphabet, but it didn’t even exist in the time of Pyrrhus).
Now let me talk about the Greek blood of Pyrrhus . Because I’m 100% sure that you believe he was Albanian (again, with no historical proofs). Pyrrhus and his family were all mollosians (Hellenic tribe/ natives of Epirus)
(mollosians along with chaonians and thesprotians were the first tribes that settled in Epirus. They spoke Greek, they believed in the Greek Gods and they were viewed as Greeks. They came from Mycenaeans)
Also his family belonged in the the Aeacidae, a well-respected family of Epirus, which claimed descent from Neoptolemus, son of Achilles. Aeacidae refers to the Greek descendants of Aeacus, including Peleus, son of Aeacus, and Achilles, grandson of Aeacus. And Pyrrhus’s family (along with the mother of Alexander the Great) belonged to these Greek descendants.
Therefore. Pyrrhus is a Greek king. No matter to how many historical sources you go, they all say the same thing. Any other representation of his origin is simply fake and historically wrong
Albanian language is fake with no actual foundations 🤫
No one cares. Not a single person takes Albanians seriously. You are a joke who are only known because of all the crime you commit across Europe. Stop stealing Greek history!
Ottoviano Augusto was the first emperor
That's were the term Pyrrhic victory is derived from 'a victorious war with great cost of life.'

enemy of rome... i thought its everyone other than rome?
joke aside, nice short vids
considering a guy who has adhd and lost because of it
"Pirrr-huss"
Original name is Pirro. The land was called Epir. He was an illyrian leader. Not everyone and everything is greek. Pirro was blood related to Alexander the Great, whose mother, Olympia, and grandmother were illyrian as well.
It is mind blowing how history has been rewritten. Illyrians and pelasgians(who are thought to be the first civilisation with a language forming the basis of all indo-european languages) are rarely talked about.
prenounced purrhoes?
oJo Clips: no its PIROS as you write it, very simple. It derives from the Greek ancient word Πυρ, Pir, Fire!

All his strategies have been lost, we don't know what they were. But he is considered to be one of the greatest strategists of all time. How does that work?
He was never greek wtff epirotanis were called barbar from helens same as illyrians

The guy whos name ended up meaning "Pyrrhic Victory" one of the greatest generals in history? he was nothing compared to Alexander.
WiseSilverWolf Pyrrhos idolized or was a hellenistic leader just like Alexander, being a warrior-king and general. He only managed to beat his cousin Alexander in the dissolution of his “empire” or territory after his death. Antigonus Gonatas quickly took over what he had while for Alexander it was divided between his generals.
EPIRRUS MEANING NAME, ALBANIA IS REGION BURRUS , BURRO IS MAN,
GREECE IS REGON ANDRES, INGLES IS REGION MEN, EPIRRUS IS WORD ALBANIAN.
albert rexhepaj The name Pyrrhus derives from the Ancient Greek “pûr (πῦρ)”, meaning “fire, blaze”
Lol give us examples of his name being used in similar words then in greek we have PYRosbestis ,PYRpoliko ,PYRkagia,PYRetos
epiros wa part of iliarns land like dardania for ex witch is modern kosovo, he is between greece and ilyrians .in albania we still name pyhrrus (pirro to many are called nowdays and even before) .i am not saying he is albanian becouse the tribes after ilyria are so mixed up i am saying he has i common with ilyrians (albania part of ilyrria ) and greece as well so stop fighting
He got to much credit, never did he get something done, always half way
And epirus was illyrian because the name epir has a meaning in the Albanian language (Illyrian succesor language ) from the word “epur” wich means “want more”
Lol most Albanians say his name means man now you say otherwise ?names with double meanings or just a fake language ? I'll go with fake Language
Pirro was Ilir. Albanian
denis begaj Nope he was Greek. Read history.
Lmao 😂 and the earth is flat
the legend how he died is a total BS. This man greup in the battlefield and was known for being a military genius and a great comander. How he died is unknown to the historians and this video doesnt bring more than a wikishit page
Great video I never saw so much disinformations in one video 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why
Pyrrhus comes from the name "burrë", meaning "man" in Albanian. It is the title for him as the greatest being the ancients thought of - man - in his fullness, character and honour, not gender necessarily. In Albanian, we still greet one-another occasionally with "A je burrë?", meaning "Are you a man?", which is meant as a way to make sure one has not lost valour since we last saw them. It is a title one gives to someone for distinguishing himself in honour and value. As in the Albanian idiom "burrë dheu" - "man of the earth" - which is meant as giant, colossus or an exceptionally brave and honoured man. Also, the tribe Pyrrhus came from - the Molossians - were the descendants of Achiles' son, who was a Pelasgian, and Andromacha, Hector's wife from the war of Troy. Thus, he is in no way "Greek" of the ancient kind, let alone the middle eastern kind of today. He acted within the "Greek" civilization of the time, but to say that he was "Greek" would be as if to say that Constantine the Great - an Illyrian of the Dalmatian tribe - was of Roman blood because he ruled as Roman Emperor.
Pyrrhus:From the Greek name Πυρρος (Pyrros) which meant "flame-coloured, red", related to πυρ (pyr) "fire". This was another name of Neoptolemus the son of Achilles. This was also the name of a 3rd-century BC king of Epirus who was famed for his victorious yet costly battles against Rome.Further more molossians were another greek tribe who even competed in the olympics and pelasgians were greek too...
No one gives a damn about your fake language
No one cares. Not a single person takes Albanians seriously. You are the brown remnants of Turkish conquerers with not an ounce of genuine European blood in you. You are a joke who are only known because of all the crime you commit across Europe. Stop stealing Greek history!

Pirro wos not greek epirus wos not greek they were illyrians real greeks originated on athens and islands only, others have no idea of their decedent's mostly descending from egypt and romania and now they found a new made up country to call greece just like Macedonia. Your country wos a created one by UK! Just look at your traditions and cultures they are so similiar to gypsies. Most of greeks are slavs turkish egyptians and Fuchs duck's.
