[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] ^^^[b]Do any of you even know the "Ethnic" name of the people the you so authoritatively talk about? Don't bother, I know that you don't. So I know that it would be impossible for you to know when they came to Europe, or what they did when they got there. So let me see if I can help you out. The Greeks that you so authoritatively talk about, have the ethnic name "Hellenes". In Greek legend, Hellen was the king of Phthia (a city on the Gulf of Euboea) and grandson of the god Prometheus; he was the eponymous ancestor of all true Greeks, called Hellenes in his honor. They called themselves Hellenes, and Hellas is their name for Greece. Aeolians, Dorians, Ionians, and Achaeans. In Greek myth these tribes are traditionally descended from, and named for, Hellen's sons, Aeolus and Dorus, and his grandsons, Ion and Achaeus. Just to show you that I am not just being mean when I refer to you all as a bunch of ignorant "fuch-ups". The following is from Wiki, the last resort, the bottom of the barrel. But even here, you can get an overall (though sometimes inaccurate) picture of things. And all you had to do was plug-in a search word! You couldn't even do that! What a bunch of fuch-ups. The following piece was written by a White person, so necessarily, some White B.S. is there, and the dates have been extended to make it appear that Whites were more of a factor than they were. And of course, as is typical with Whites, they freely admit that they "ARRIVED" there, but they don't like to say, arrived from "WHERE". Hint; Eurasian plains - Central Asia.[/b] The Greeks, also known as Hellenes, are a nation and ethnic group native to Greece, Cyprus and neighbouring regions, who can also be found in diaspora communities around the world. The Indo-European progenitors of the "proto-Greeks" probably arrived at the area now referred as "Greece" (the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula) at the end of the third millennium BC. There they mingled with the native pre-Hellenic populations and by the 16th century BCE this fusion had created the civilization we call Mycenaean today. Some archaeologists have pointed to evidence that there was a significant amount of continuity of prehistoric economic, architectural, and social structures across these assumed migrations, suggesting that the transition between the Neolithic civilisation of c.5000 BCE and the Greek civilisations of later periods may have proceeded without major rifts in social texture. The Mycenaeans were ultimately the first Greek-speaking people attested through historical sources, especially through their written records in the Linear B script, and through their literary echoes in the works of Homer, a few centuries later. The Mycenaeans quickly penetrated the Aegean and by the 15th century BCE had reached Rhodes, Crete, Cyprus where Teucrus (a characteristic Cypriot name) is said to have founded the first colony, and the shores of Asia Minor. From 1200 BCE the Dorians, another Greek-speaking people, followed from Epirus. The Dorian Migration was followed by a poorly attested period of migrations, appropriately called the Greek Dark Ages, but by 800 BCE the landscape of Classical Greece was discernible. In the Homeric epics, the Greeks of prehistory are viewed as the forefathers of the early classical civilization of Homer's own time, while the Mycenaean pantheon included many of the divinities (e.g. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades) attested in later Greek religion.
