    Actually, the Romans stole Greek thought and culture. When Rome fell, it was the monks of Ireland that saved Greek Literature (and Roman, too) and culture. Read a book called "How the Irish Saved Civilization" by Thomas Cahill.

    You know the Greek culture was not only Athens. The Hellenistic period, following Alexander's conquests, continued and built upon the Greek culture.

    i'm attempting to maintain my temper you be attentive to. Ylirians who now are referred to as Albanians used to stay over northern Heperus and have been in particular sheppards. Pelasgeans don't have something to do with Ylirians, they lived in Peloponesus. Hellenes have been all of people who spoke the Greek language or its diallects think of that Spartans and Atheneans had distinctive dialects so did Macedonians. All names of the olympians gods and the names of the heroes of Illiad Troyans and Achaioi and Hepeirots and Macedonians afterwards have their etymology in the Greek language and easily and that they referred to as themselves as Hellenes Greeks in Roman language. in actuality even your super prophet Mohamed in the koran says Alexander grew to become into Greek. Ylirians have been a tribe that Greeks taught the thank you to stay as civilised people and that's extremely logic to have a similar gods with the Greek. As for the Phoenician Alphabet you ought to ask youself how is it a risk each and all the astounding writings of the classic international to be Greek and Egyptian however the alphabet to be phoenician. of direction you be attentive to all that and you in addition to mght be attentive to that the Slavs who stay in Fyrom got here hundreds of years later that the Greeks in the area. you in addition to mght be attentive to that alot of the heroes of the Trojan conflict have been family contributors even nevertheless they have been scuffling with against one yet another. that's a shame for you and for some Albanians to act so nationalist against Greece it is giving activity to maximum of Albanians and in this type of tragic historic propaganda, yet it is okay the popular public of the international has a innovations and has understood the way you act, only such as you're doing in Kossovo, is it an Albanian be conscious to, i could be delighted to assessment you etymology of the words. the difficulty you haven't any longer understood yet is which you're only a gadget and sometime you will provide up be a clever one.
