Scanderbeg knew all of this
Sir William Woodthorpe Tarn, the best book ever written about Alexander and his campaign. The first sentence is:
Alexander certainly had from his father (Philip II) and probably from his mother (Olymbia) Illyrian, ie Albanian, blood!
It's really interesting, especially if you want to know about his invasions in persia and egypt.
Look at skanderbeg for example . Why did he have a goat's head as a crown? because Alexander and Pirro wore it. And all this is connected to Amalthia, the goat-nymph that raised Zeus. In Albanian, we pronouce it Amalte and it's similarity to the Illyrian "tamel" (it means "milk") is not surprising.
Skanderbeg knew all this. no wonder why he wore those two rings.
Skanderbeg and all Albanian nobles (Topia, Muzaka, Arianiti, Dukagjini etc) knew who our (Albanian) ancestors were. That's why the Topia family had Pirro's snakes as their symbol. And that was NOT a copy, it was the real small statue of Pirro's snakes, designed and constructed somewhen in 200-300BC and passed generation after generation. Unfortunately, some Italian thieves stole it between 1519-21 and today it's in Turin's museum (Italy). This is continuity.
The goat is holy for us. It gives the healthiest milk (tamel--Amalte). We have old long stories about goats, all connected to something divine. Goats, oak trees, eagles, snakes, stars, wolves and another animal were all important symbols in Illyria and they still are in Albania. Some of these are international, some aren't.
