 Welcome to Frosina.org :: An Albanian Immigrant and Cultural Resource
Suddenly the youth heard above him the loud whirring sound of the large eagle's wings.
After the eaglet grew, it would always fly above the head of the youth, now a full-grown man, who, with his bow and arrows, killed many wild beasts of the forest, and who, with his sword, slew many enemies of the land.
Amazed by the valiant hunter's deeds, the people of the land elected him king and called him "Albanian" which is to say "Son of the Eagle." And his kingdom became known as Albania or Land of the Eagles.
