      Well, Κωνσταντίνος ὁ ΙΑ' Δραγάτσης-Παλαιολόγος (Constantine the XI, Dragatsis-Palaiologos), the last emperor of the Roman Greeks, called his people "the rightful descendants of the Romans and the Hellenes". So hey, you can be both! Hellas is out fatherland, our nation, music, language and tradition. Rome is our politeia, our laws of freedom and justice, the one everlasting empire, destined to bring the entire cosmos to Glory, and our Christian faith. 👍

    When many Catholic leaders refused to rush to the aid of the great city, Giovanni Giustiniani, the famed Genoes mercenary captain and 700 of his men (paid for out of his own pocket) arrived at Constantinople to aid it's defence. A highly charismatic and talented commander he managed to hold his own against Mehmed's till he was struck by shrapnel which resulted in many of the city's defenders, who were raw recruites, to break and flee. His men though, managed to ferry him away as the city fell but he died of his wounds within a few days. A sad but powerful true story the deserves to be a movie or historical fiction.

      Eugene Pittard (🇫🇷) affirmed in 1916: "I have already said elsewhere that Albania seems to me to contain the most important archaeological and anthropological documents for what concerns the origins of the MOST ANCIENT POPULATIONS OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA; populations that, at the dawn of history, we see appear under the name of Illyrians!

      First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD.
      It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë).
      Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect).
      But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD.
      Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes.
      It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe.
      It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

      @@Universal.. Alright, for real this time. You’re right, they were illyrians, but showing the albanian flag as a symbol for them is not accurate. The amount of admixture that has happened in the balkans means that all of the ethnicities there have their fair share of illyrian DNA, even if the albanians are the only ones who’ve retained the language.

    Most people don't understand that because Constantine fought till the end with his soldiers, he made himself a beacon of hope for Greeks throughout the ottoman empire's rule. This was one of the reasons 1821 war of independence happened as also and the previous attempts.
    Honestly, as a Greek the feels you get when you realize that are unspeakable.
    Edit: after many months I see that my comment started many extremely controversial topics. I remined everyone that we do not choose how we feel in life but we can choose what emotions we embrace. Firstly, I am half Arbanitis which for ME and personally means I'm like a lost brother from Albanians. Secondly, If my country told me we are going to conquer Istanbul I would not join. Why would I want to kill people? Don't take it wrong It's not that I don't love my country it's that I don't hate any country. Past is the past. You can observe in languages, in customs, in clothes, in religion, even in the movement of our hands that what unites us is stronger than what divides us. Adiós!
