Zotos the Molossian, the prolific writer and traveler, volunteer fighter in the Cretan struggles and other guerrilla movements, decorated by Greek governments and by numerous enslaved Greek communities, constitutes the holy scripture of all Hellenism.

He was the quintessential mystery of the Pelasgian world and the foremost admirer of the Albanian people. He stood among the principal visionaries of a Greek-Albanian state, one that would express the pure power of the ancestral spirit.

The Molossian, this genuine child of Arvanitia, remains to this day the spiritual ark of Albanian-Pelasgians and Greek-Pelasgians everywhere.

In his work he refers to the triumvirate of Epirotes — clearly signifying a Gheg Muslim and two Christians, one of Tosk origin and the other Liapi (Lapithi). Molossian constantly highlights Gekaria, which he regards as the pillar and vanguard of Hellenism.

He draws the attention of Greek politicians and governments to the fact that Greece can become the staunch ally and supporter of the Gekidi brothers (Ghegs and Tosks).
