Lol albanians here claiming that ancient historians did not consider them hellenes/greeks tend to completely ignore 2 things1)the historians are Athenians and we all know athemians had a superiority complex 2)there are just as many if not more ancient historians who did consider them greek

great video. minor corrections. Pyrrhus did not lose all of his Italian holdings in 275 as he still controlled Taras (Tarentum), leaving garrison there commanded by Milon. he ruled Makedon and Thessaly until his death in 272, as opposed to 285, which would be impossible as it is going back chronologically. during 3rd Makedonian War, Molossians decided to side with Makedon whilst Thesprotians and Chaonians supported Rome. this brought Roman wrath upon Molossians (central Epeiros), in 167 it was thoroughly pillaged, some 150k were enslaved. kudos was popularising the ancient history, fantastic effort!

Ah, Epirus! Ah, how many times did I crushed my enemies against the wall of Sarissas of my Chanion Agema in Europa Barbarorum! Badass Pirrus Aiakides.

Glad to see a vid on Pyrrhus and the kingdom of Epirus, a fabulous army to play on historical wargames : pikes, aliies, elephants, pikes, pikes, pikes...A fascinating life, unfortunately a less flamboyant end of life...I enjoyed, a lot! A new victory for you ... and not a Pyrrhic victory!👍👍👍

he was very successful in Sicily though, he just left cause, well, to start a war with someone else cause that's what he loved to do lol.

You know what would have been a better route for phyrrus? Build and improve upon coastal defenses, reform his military, improve upon the navy, and help make Epirus/Macedonia more unified. If he had done that, then he probably would have been a greater general and warrior in today’s history.

[achillestriantafyllos]

Severely underrated, and thank you for showing people that they weren’t illyrians because a lot of people make that common mistake 👍

[wankawanka]

Albanians you better decide you can't be both epirotes and illyrians 😂 these places have always been separate in terms of Language culture and by every single ancient historian

[nocx]

The art is like a combination of extra history and swhine.
I approve.

[shachmon]

Another great video. Keep up the grind man, your channel deserves many more subs.

[JackOfAllNerdsShow]

Great video! I love this period of history! I'm looking forward to eventually researching it more for my own videos!

[Xenophonos]

I'm losing brain cells seeing Albanians think Pyrrhus was Albanian lmao
