The "greek" mythology isn't "greek" but is Pelasgean, the names and words have sense only in Albanian language. Take an Albanian dictionary & the Iliad in original language like Homer create it, comparate the worlds by your self! When Homer lived around 700 BC in Archaic period in "Greece" the Hellens had just recently learned how to use the alphabet from the Phoenicians. No one knows where in "Greece" he lived exactly, & Homer didn't make up these stories or even the words, himself. The Ancient "Greeks" lived in a lot of little city-states they do not have a nation & in the Bronze Age each one had in its own city a king. Before the Trojan war there is no indication of Helens which were invited by Pelasgians in their cities & now the today "greeks" pretend the land is theirs.
-"Zeus" survives as "Zot"= GOD in the Albanian language and it's mean "VOICE" The invocation of his name is the common form of oath among the modern Albanians. According to "The Indo-European Consonants in Albanian" by Stuart E. Mann of the University of London, the Albanian word Zot derives from the same root as the Indo-European term for God (*di):IE *di >Alb. z (> s finally), zot 'lord', zojz 'god of lightning'.
-"Athena" ( the Latin Minerva), the goddess of wisdom as expressed in speech, would evidently owe its derivation to the Albanian "E Thena," simply means "speech."
-"Thetis," the goddess of waters and seas, would seem to be but Albanian "Deti" which means "sea."
- The word "Ulysses,"whether in its Latin or Greek form "Odysseus," means "traveler" in the Albanian language, according as the word "udhe,"(udhetues) which stands for "route" and "traveler," is written with "d" or "l," both forms being in use in Albanian.
- The name "GREEK" isn't "greek"! Romans added their latin suffix -ci making it Graeci. In Pelasgian mythology "Graia" or "Graes" were three old ladies sisters of the monsters called Gorgon and u can grab any mythology book & read their story. In Albanian language "Gra" means exactly that "Old Ladies". Singular "Grua/Gruaja" and plural "Gra".
An oft-quoted passage from the 4th c. AD Jewish writer Adamantius Judaeus is used to prove that the original Greeks were tall, pale, blond & light-eyed not dark like they are today! According to mythology Illyrios was the child of Cadmus & Harmonia,& Cadmus was the son of Agenor who was a greek hero! So all old "Greeks" were pelasgians, so the old "Greeks" only by languge different from other pellasgians: illyrians, epiriots, macedonians. They rapresent only a partial culture of a big nation. The question is:"What are the new greeks"? Riff: http://www.howard.edu/library/ special/excellence@howard/snow den/blacks.htm
Frank M. Snowden: Blacks in the Ancient Greek & Roman World.

"Survey of anthropological features of the Illyrians" and "Haplogroup E3b1a2 as a Possible Indicator of Settlement in Roman Britain by Soldiers of Balkan Origin" by Steven C. Bird.- Have shown that MODERN ALBANIANS are a MIX BETWEEN ILLYRIANS & THRACIANS.

Albania = 75% Dinaric, 10% West Mediterranean, 10% Alpine, 5% Noric = 5% periphery Nordish.
