Wenn wir schon bei den Soulioten sind, dürfen die Souliotisses nicht fehlen.

Die Souliotisses die den Tanz von Zalongo getanzt haben, haben mich schon immer fasziniert. Vergleicht man diese Menschen mit den Griechen oder sonst jemanden von heute, sieht man sofort dass das gesellschaftliche Denken Tag wie Nacht war
Hier mal etwas zum Tanz von Zalongo, wenn es einem interessiert
The Dance of Zalongo (Greek: Χορός του Ζαλόγγου, Horos tou Zalongou) was a mass suicide of women from Souli and their children during the Souliote War of 1803, near the village of Zalongo in Epirus, in the then-Ottoman Empire. It began on 16 December 1803.[1] The name also refers to a popular dance-song commemorating the event.[2] There is also a similar Cham Albanian dance-song called Vallja e Zallongut ("Dance of Zalongo").[3][4]
During the Souliote War in December 1803, the Souliotes began evacuating Souli after their defeat by the forces of the local Ottoman-Albanian ruler, Ali Pasha.[5] During the evacuation, a small group of Souliot women and their children were trapped by Ali's troops in the mountains of Zalongo in Epirus.[5] In order to avoid capture and enslavement, the women threw their children first and then themselves off a steep cliff, committing suicide.[6] According to the legend, they jumped down the precipice one after the other while singing and dancing.[7] The incident soon became known across Europe. At the Paris Salon of 1827, the French artist Ary Scheffer exhibited two Romantic paintings, one of which was entitled Les Femmes souliotes ("The Souliot Women").[8] Today, the Zalongo Monument on Mount Zalongo in Kassope commemorates their sacrifice.[9]
