A shared culture?i doubt it was.not back then.Epirus was hellenic,a litle bit primitive compared to the advanced greek south but hellenic,and Illyria was a neighboring area at the north side of Epirus.These two regions were separate from each other and often in a state of war!

very informative stuff from wikipedia.looks like a synopsis of your text to me...
Katsantonis
wikipedia
According to the local historical tradition of the Evrytania Prefecture, he was a Sarakatsanos klepht leader born in the village of Marathos, Agrafa. His real name was Antonis Makriyannis, son of Yannis Makriyannis (born in Petrovouni, Epirus, not to be confused with Yannis Makriyannis born in Avoriti, Doris). In 1802 he abandoned his life as a shepherd and began participating to the raids of klephts; it was then that he acquired the nickname kaçak ("fugitive" in Turkish). During the years 1803-1808, he successfully battled several times against the army of Ali Pasha, the most notable of them being the Battle in the Mount Prosiliako (ÌÜ÷ç óôïõ ÐñïóçëéÜêïõ) in 1807. In the summer of 1809 he is said to have been struck down by a serious illness (identified then as åõëïãéÜ "smallpox") and thus appointed his brother Êþóôáò Ëåðåíéþôçò (Costas Lepeniotis or Kostas from Lepenou) as the leader of the Agrafa's klephts; according to the tradition, when Ali Pasha got informed of that, he sent an army leader, called Mühürdar, to capture him in the cave where he had been transferred and being treated by his doctor ÈáíÜóçò ÍôïõöåêéÜò (Thanasis Doufekias); eventually, Katsantonis and his second brother Ãéþñãïò ×áóéþôçò (Yorgos Chasiotis or Yorgos from Chasia) were arrested and were led to the paşa, where they were tortured to death. The legend mentions that Markos Botsaris avenged Katsantonis' death by killing Mühürdar in the Battle of Kefalovryso (in Karpenisi) in 1823.

books.google.com/books?id=0qAoqP4g1fEC&pg=PA284&lpg=PA284&dq=chaones+greek+speaking&source=bl&ots=_fYKAALy2Z&sig=O2Os4x6cqMdPp_4wOHB_NFG5NaE&hl=en&ei=Jb3XSePiN8KO_Qbav-GsDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9 The Cambridge ancient history. Volume 3, part 3. The expansion of the Greek world, eighth to sixth centuries B.C.By Iorwerth E. S. Edwards, John Boardman, Nicholas Geoffrey Lemprière Hammond "Inscriptional evidence of the Chaones is lacking until the Hellenistic period; but Ps-Scylax, describing the situation of c. 380-360 put the southern limit of the Illyrians just north of the Chaones, which indicates that the Chaones did not speak Illyrian, and the acceptance of the Chaones into the Epirote alliance in the 330s suggest strongly that they were Greek-speaking." "That they (Molossians) in fact spoke greek was implied by Herodotus' inclusion of Molossi among the greek colonists of Asia Minor but it became demonstrable only when D.Evangelides published two long inscriptions of the Molossian state set up c. 369 BC at Dodona in greek with greek names,greek patronymics and greek tribal names such as Celaethi,Omphales,Tripolitae,Triphylae,etc.As the Molossian cluster of tribes in the time of Hecateus icluded the Orestae,Pelagones,Lyncestae,Tymphaei and Elimeotae as we have argued above,we may be confident that were too Greek speaking."

Perhaps so.On the other hand we do use some compound words today in which ponein is a synthetic and i realise that it has kept its original meaning. Let me give you two examples,filoponia=diligence and fygoponia=lazyness.

Not recently introduced but not commonly used.We dont have to re introduce ancient greek words.The greek language is a living organism and it has never stopped being spoken in Greece.The contribution of the greek orthodox church is major which as you may know always uses ancient greek during it's liturgy.
