Look up what Byzantine Empire means and why it's used. Your correction is pointless, like saying "No that's not Judeah, it's Israel" bringing in modern terms to describe a state before the term was invented. Greeks called themselves Romans even 150 years ago.
@erdetkertusha8806 wasn't it an ancient Illyrian culture that was in Yugoslavia Albania and West Greece territories? I know only left nationality is Albanian. But after the Rome conquered the whole Balkans the Hellenic people had a huge influence in Balkans and in Asia Minor. And because of that Albania have no sister nationality. See? I'm not stupid.
@@erdetkertusha8806 The dynasty that ran it was a long time Byzantine Greek noble family with blood ties to the rest of the Empire. Albanians formed a large part of the population especially after the 1300s but they never controlled the Despot of Epirus. You are reading modern biased Albanian sources then cause Byzantine sources make it clear it was ran by Greeks/Romans while Albanian and Vlachs tribes were migrating into the region.
@@obamacare_grucha Yeah you are, sucking up to some judgemental guy online who is clearly looking for a fight. Albanians to the north, Greeks to the south. Epirus had influence from both it is clear, but it's Greek since antiquity in language, culture, trade and it was part of the same empire the rest of Greece was, for millenia. Ancient Greek cities can be found all the way up to middle Albania like Apollonia, so no, Greeks did not start influencing the region after the Romans came, Illyrians were always confined to the north, outside Greek territories most often than not, being a geopolitical enemy of the rest of the Greeks but also an important shield to them from the barbarians of the north. Nevertheless, it is not even clear whether the Albanians have anything to do with the Illyrians at all so...do not concede what is not certain just for the sake of being likable. Truth is valuable.
These videos about the Eastern Roman Empire are very well done, congratulations!
