Zeus' symbols and Albanian_Epirotes

In the Greek mythology is the king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus, and the god of the sky and thunder. His symbols are the thunderbolt, eagle, and the oak. In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical “cloud-gatherer”

Epirus this is the name given to Albania by the Latins, we call it Arberia(tosk) or Arbenia(gheg).





We started calling ourselves Shqipetare around 14-15 century but this is not a new name by no means, because this is Shqipe(eagle) symbol of Zeus our powerful and generous GOD.

APEIRWTWN, eagle (Epiriotic eagle)

These very old symbols are what we are carring in our Epirotic-Pelasgic flag:








Lighting weapon of Zeus similar to a eagle(Some people think this is Labrys or Pelekus)

Look at the shape similarity betwen the eagle and the Zeus' weapon:



and this is Zeus 'symbol in another coin:

The question is why does Albanian flag have two eagles instead of one. Because Zeus had two eagle, one traveling on the east and the other on the west, symbolizing the extension of Zeus power in both western, eastern cultures



The two eagles of Zeus (Zen & Zen in Araucanic), standing on both sides of the Omphalos @ central point of the Globe.

This Roman eagle (Romans was a race-culture not very different from the """Greeks""" & they had the same God/s in their worship ) doesnt not symbolise the mighty Roman Empire but just shows a Jupiter's symbol(Zeus):

This is the reason why we call our land SHQIPERI: the land of Eagle, a symbol-name coming from very ancient times , we just revitalised our ancient name along with ARBERI.

Along with Zeus we always find his symbol the eagle:



putting in the right way the double-eagle which we find today as the double-headed eagle on the Albanian flag. That was the symbol of the Pelasgians. Lycaion son of Pelasgus built a temple dedicated to Zeus, in Arcadia where the Mount Lycaion is located:



Albanians the real Pelasgians descendents never forgot about their beloved God, their ancient symbols and their meanings.
