One of the most prominent points in Albanian and Serbian history is the Expulsion of Albanians in 1877-1878. Yet, this appears to be one the least talked about points in time of our intertwined histories.

Dardania: otherwise known as Dardanoi or Dardans, these were probably of the same stock as the Trojans, a mixture of aboriginal Anatolians and incoming, culturally and linguistically-dominant Luwians.

Callirhoë. Naiad. Daughter of the river god Xanthos, wife to the Dardanian*(1) king Tros, and mother of Ilus, Assaracus, Ganymede, and Cleopatra*(2)

*(1)the dardanian thing I’m not too sure about. It’s kinda confusing as to what their kingdom would be called, but it wasn’t Troy. Callirhoë’s son Ilus would be the founder of Troy, so there kingdom was its predecessor.

*(2)she had at least one daughter, named either Cleopatra or Cleomestra. They could possibly both be her daughters, but I guess it wasn’t documented very well

I tried to base her look on Greek paintings of Naiads, but most were pictured naked. Since they lived at the base of Mt Ida, they were located in Turkey. I looked up traditional art of Turkish womens clothing, but didn’t end up finding a suitable fit. The eyes and markings were just for fun.

Il nome deriva del greco antico e significa „torre d‘osservazione”. Attraversata dal fiume Vardar(assio) è sita su una delle strade principali che collegano Europa e Balcani, ha subito un rapido sviluppo dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Qui vive un quarto della Popolazione Macedone. La città è davvero bellissima, ricca di monumenti affascinati che richiamano all’antica Grecia, è viva infatti la controversia sull’origine del famoso Alessandro Magno. La città ha il sapore mussulmano ed è un misto di etnie. Che dire, visitatela, i prezzi sono davvero abbordabile anche nel centro città! #macedonia #skopje #dardania #history #culture #pic #picoftheday #travel #streetphotography #globetrotter #holiday #balkans #capital #europe_vacations #jeep #villaltadominet #trip #europe #eurotrip #aroundtheworld #italian #great #amazing #wonderful #awesome #aboutlastnight #glad #life #curiosity #explorer #brave (presso Skopje) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzqBWeEC3Oy/?igshid=urseujf62hvw
