On page 107 where the writer describes poems of the times, especially CJ Collins Albanian: A Tale Of Modern Greece, at the end of that paragraph he states; "Most of them (the poems) rehearse the familiar theme of a young Greek woman who must be rescued from a Turkish Harem."
Towards the end of the book are notes for the pages. Page 305 states this;

The exception is Colins The Albanian which recounts how an italian philhellene joined the cause, fell in love with his "Helen" and died in the siege of Missolonghi

:lol

"Helen" is the Albanian :lol

And obviously the italian in the poem represents the biggest philhellene Lord Byron who himself died in Missolonghi.

If anybody finds the poem Albanian: A Tale Of Modern Greece by CJ Colins London, W.Strange,1844 please post it. I think our modern "greek" friends would love to read it :lol

Hey TM, i'm not sure if this was you who posted this a while ago (or if it was Jordan), but i remember seeing scanned excerpts on how some Greek people when referred to as 'Hellenes' (by some western traveller i think), they didn't understand what was meant by that...do you recall anything like that? I can't seem to find the topic.

Hello Vergina you Turkish refugee.

Vergina, you've clearly been avoiding the bulk of TM's posts, since the vast majority in fact do mentions the Macedonians as an ethnic group, not related to the Greeks.

Hello TM

While you spend most of your time scanning excerpts from Books that selectively prove that Greeks never existed you have not shown one excerpt from those same books that mentions the Macedonians in any way, shape or form. I bet these same books mentions Slavs, Albanians, Turks, Serbians and so on but is there any mention of the Macedonians?

Vergina, you are aware that you are clutching for straws here...... look up the sources or shut up with your nonsense crap, katalaves?
