How a tiny town gave an entire country the wrong name. Greece.

Hellenes were the people descending from Έλλην. Even though they all shared language, religion and participated in the Olympic games, it was their common ancestry that led them to feel as a distinct group of people.

Δλδ ο Ησιοδος λεει μπουρδες ως προς τον Γραικο; Ο Ελληνας που ηταν εγγονος του Προμηθεα; Εκανε και βιντεακι για να μας πη,τι;

To participate in the Olympic games someone had to prove that their descent is Greek. So it is more accurate to say that one condition to be considered Greek was that you had to have Greek blood as well.

Sooo... If Yunan is Greece, and Yunan is from Ionia, then those areas need to be part of Greece again, based on their own language.. Just saying..

It is not wrong. We are known many names.

Με μια εξαίρεση, τους Κινέζους που μας αποκαλούν Σίλα που προέρχεται από το Ελλάδα.

Having a 2700 year old culture and two empires spanding 1600 years things can get a little mixed up/

Armenians have been calling Greeks a derivative term from Ionians since before the languages you mentioned. It likely arrived through interaction with Achemenid Persians in the 5th century BC.

That was very interesting. Thank you.

There is no H, in Ellas. It’s Not Hellas. There is no H sound. It is Ελλάς. Or if you may, “Ellas” or “Ellada”.
