Despotate of Epirus

edit

The phrase "Despotate of Epirus - one of the successor states of the Byzantine Empire" is not exactly accurate. Perhaps we should change it to something like "Despotate of Epirus - part of the Byzantine Empire". I mean, it was a despotate but for about a century before the (final) fall of the empire, it was reincorporated to the empire. +MATIA 13:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Epirus and Albania

edit

Albanau wrote that "Epirus - was used in the medieval times as a synonym for the Balkan country Albania due to its geographical location". That's false; what's known as Albania began its existence in 1913. — Sshadow 14:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps what Albanau meant was that part of the historical region is in what's now Albania? I've added this distinction to the disambig. -- ChrisO 14:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
OK. That makes more sense. — Sshadow 19:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Cities

Why there are cities of the Epirus (periphery) in this s disambiguation page? I think they should be removed. -- Magioladitis 22:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Epirus according to the history channel was hellenic

As secondary sources proclaim that it was Greek and Epirotes Greeks the history channel declares the same.

Language

edit

Epirotes had the same blood as Illyrians and spoke the same language but different dialect.

T'Chamis is a term used in old Roman and Hellenic literatures to refer to these people. This term is only used by Albanians, which is çams. The term being used in old literature indicates that it's even older than the word Epiri itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.28.121 (talk) 22:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Epirus Front

edit

"During World War Two Young volunteered in Greece as an ambulance driver, and was wounded on the Epirus front. He received a Bronze Star from the United States and the Croix de Guerre from Greece for his service."

This is from Rodney Young (archaeologist), and from this article the location of the "Epirus front" can be seen, but more detail would be welcomed, especially if an entry can be made here and linked to the Young article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 02:11, 9 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
