Anastas Byku

His endeavor was short-lived but he tried again in 1878 with another newspaper, Promytheus o Pelasgos, this time exclusively in the Greek language.

Byku, signing his publications as Anastasios Pykaios (Greek: Αναστάσιος Πυκαίος), was born in Lekël, an Albanian village in the district of Tepelenë, then part of the Ottoman Empire but now in modern Albania.

In 1878, his last year of life, he tried to publish another newspaper, this time only in Greek, the Promytheus o Pelasgos (English: Prometheus the Pelasgian),[citation needed] but without much success.

Moreover, he noted that the Albanians and the Greeks share the same ancient origins and have to deal with common enemies.

[7] Byku in his work Ελληνισμός και Χριστιανισμός (Hellenism and Christianity) claimed that the three enemies of the Greek nation are: Western Europeans, Bulgarians and Muslims.
