I believe Alexander was half Epirote, Watchman. Now, seeing as a large part of that kingdom seems to have been in modern Albania, and the fact that the people who inhabit that place seem to descend from the ancient Illyrians, you may have quite the point there.

In fact, speaking of Epirus... what did the Greeks think of that place? There was an ancient holy site there (Dodona) plus a major colony... but what about your average Epirote? Greek, barely Greek country hick, or savage barbarian?
