We all love this music, we have a common heritage. Let us focus on that, love of life and music and dancing. Let us enjoy the things we can share, and stop fighting over WHO invented what. Most important part is to teach it to new generations to PRESERVE our culture ;-)ans heritage. Greeks, Turks, Kurds..We all prefer it in our own language.thats ok.Let us all enjoy it our own way. I prefer it in GREEK.PYRGIOTISA!!!! GIA SAS MANGES! Gia sas gomenares!! Filakia apo Norvigia..
Zeybek is the dance of Dionysus. He is also called Bacchus, son of Zeus. Thus, Zeybek. (The use of "ypsilon" instead of "u" in Turkish is correct.) Dionysius was the god of wine and was famous for this drunken dance. One of the main centers of the Dionysus cult is Ephesus (Efes). There the men (Turks and others) still traditionally dance the Zeybek with a wreath of flowers in their hair. (Go to the museum in Izmir to see nice photo showing this.) The Zeybekiko is a very ancient dance indeed.
Zeybeks was a warrior tribe that include turks and Greeks as well, of course Turkish people like to tell only the half truth ,even greek zeybeks fought agains turks in 1922 and that is documented ,if we think the fact that these dances were existed before 1453 then byzantine greek roots are more close to the greek origin og this dance
@tsaggarucci Μάγκα μου πολύ όμορφη η πληροφορία σχετικά με τις ρίζες του χορού αυτού. Ομολογώ ότι δεν το ήξερα. απλά να επισημάνω ότι στην περιγραφή γράφει στα τούρκικα τη φράση:'Ελληνικός χορός, Ζειμπέκικο". Αυτός που πόσταρε το video δεν δείχνει να έχει διαθεση να οικιοποιηθεί το χορό.
Arkadash, The greek culture is ancient, like the mesopotamian, egiptian, roman, etc. culture! If the turkish people has been inspired from that cultures, is OK, but in no way the greeks are beiing inspired by turkish!
Merhaba Arkadash, Let put the things in another points: Ottoman Empire (12991923) had stoled from another people a lot of things (without culture)! Anyway the Turkey's people in Constanta Romania is good tolerated and we don't have problems with them (now). 10 years ago the turkish people were criminals, pick-pockets, etc, now they are ok!
Merhaba Kalimeraba, Actually, Ottoman Empire, stoled like every Empire, that's clear! We are not judging the actual Turkey, you are a people like everyone and you've been lucky that Kemal Ataturk had throw you up from the hole!
Since when zeybek is grek ? Zeybek is from turkish-central-asian-oguzturk origin. Why do you always try to steal turkish culture ? Or what is your aim.
