| | Suli/Epirus/Greece |
 | | Epirus was comprised of a confederation of three Greek-speaking tribes, the Thesproti, the Chaones and the dominant Molossi (or Aeacidae), with a line of descent traced from Achilles of Trojan War fame, and who provided the royal bloodlines of Epirus. |
 | | Epirus found itself closely tied to Macedonia through the marriage of Philip II of Macedon to the Molossian princess, Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great.Pyrrhus I, son of King Aeacides, was born in 319 or 318 BC, and named for Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles. |
 | | His father was quickly deposed by an uprising of the Epirots, and the two year old Pyrrhus was spirited away to Illyria, where he was raised by Glaucia, the king of the Taulantians as his own son. |
