| 释义 |
According to Greek mythology Taulas (Tαύλας), one of the six sons of Illyrius, was the eponymous ancestor of the Taulantii.[3] They lived on the Adriatic coast of Illyria (modern Albania), in the vicinity[4] of the city of Epidamnus (modern Durrës). This tribe played an important role in Illyrian history of the 4th–3rd centuries BC, when Glaucias (335 BC- 302 BC) ruled over them as king. The name Taulantii appears to be connected with the Albanian word tallandushe, dallëndyshe which means "swallow" in English.[5] References1. ^James R.
