But why do we call Greece Hellas, and who are the Hellenes?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the question is wrong and should be reversed! It should be as: Why do we call Hellas Greece, and who are the Hellenes?<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;Hellenes&#8221; is the historical name for the Greeks and has been used to refer to the people of Greece since antiquity. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Greek mythology and history, specifically linked to Hellen, the legendary son of Deucalion and the ancestral figure of the Greek people.<\/p>\n<p>The word &#8220;Hellenes&#8221; was commonly used to describe the Greek people and their culture in ancient times and is still used today within the country of Greece, both officially and among the Greeks themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mythological origin of the Hellenes and Hellas<\/h2>\n<p>Please note that the name <strong>Hellen<\/strong> has nothing to do with Helen of Troy; rather, it refers to Hellen (written with two &#8216;ll&#8217;s), who was the first son of Deucalion.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hesiod&#8217;s Theogony, the Flood of Deucalion marked the beginning of Hellenic civilization.<\/p>\n<p>A common feature in nearly all mythologies is the blending of myths with historical reality, making it difficult to discern what is true and what is fictional.<\/p>\n<p>The Aegean islands of Cyclades and Crete were inhabited and prospered for many centuries before the emergence of the <strong>Achaeans<\/strong>, the first Greek civilization in <strong>Mycenae<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the Cyclades, the <strong>Pelasgians<\/strong> established the earliest European civilization dating back to 3000 years BCE.<\/p>\n<p>Not much is known about them, except that they had a written language using the <strong>Linear A script<\/strong>, which remains undeciphered to this day. Later, they adopted <strong>Linear B<\/strong>, evidently an evolution of Linear A.<\/p>\n<p>Linear B has been deciphered and can be understood; it is a syllabic writing system that reveals Greek words and Greek names when read.<\/p>\n<p>The precise relationship between the Pelasgians and the Greeks is still not fully understood.<\/p>\n<p>On the island of <strong>Crete<\/strong>, the same civilization is known as the <strong>Minoans<\/strong>, named after their most famous king, <strong>Minos<\/strong>. The Minoans also employed the Linear B writing system, as did the Mycenaeans.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35471\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 700px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35471 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Greek Mythology - The flood\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-386x290.jpg 386w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/greek-mythology-the-flood.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Greek Mythology &#8211; The flood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The Flood of Deucalion<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35470\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 700px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35470\" title=\"Flood of Deucalion - The first Hellenes\" src=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-907x1140.jpg\" alt=\"Flood of Deucalion - The first Hellenes\" width=\"700\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-907x1140.jpg 907w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-557x700.jpg 557w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-768x965.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-307x386.jpg 307w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-621x780.jpg 621w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-931x1170.jpg 931w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-478x600.jpg 478w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-815x1024.jpg 815w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-728x914.jpg 728w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-364x457.jpg 364w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-520x654.jpg 520w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion-260x327.jpg 260w, https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/flood-of-defkalion.jpg 1158w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Flood of Deucalion &#8211; The first Hellenes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here is a portion of <a href=\"https:\/\/atcorfu.com\/greek-theogony-titans-and-gods\/\">Hesiod&#8217;s Theogony<\/a> that describes the <strong>origin of the Greeks (Hellenes)<\/strong>, and consequently, the origin of the names Hellenes and Hellas.<\/p>\n<p>Greek Theogony, though a work of mythology, is often more engaging than the Bible&#8217;s more prosaic cosmogony.<\/p>\n<p>These tales have been passed down from generation to generation, each time perhaps becoming slightly embellished or distorted.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s dive into it!<\/p>\n<p>Following a catastrophic flood (distinct from Noah&#8217;s), all people vanished, leaving only two survivors: Deucalion and Pyrrha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deucalion<\/strong> was the son of the <strong>Titan Prometheus<\/strong>, who had created the human race and bestowed upon them the gift of fire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pyrrha<\/strong>, on the other hand, was his wife and the daughter of <strong>Pandora<\/strong>, the first woman created by the gods. Pandora&#8217;s name is likely familiar to many.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the flood, Prometheus advised his son Deucalion, who ruled in <strong>Thessaly<\/strong>, to construct a substantial ark, stock it with provisions, and pray for the best outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, the heavens opened, and the Earth was inundated. Deucalion and Pyrrha&#8217;s ark drifted for nine days and nights until it came to rest atop <strong>Mount Parnassus<\/strong>. From this vantage point, they had a clear view of <strong>Delphi<\/strong>, where the renowned <strong>Oracle<\/strong> would later be established.<\/p>\n<p>Delphi was regarded as the navel, the very center of the Earth, in the beliefs of ancient Hellenes.<\/p>\n<p>Does any of this sound reminiscent of the biblical tale of <strong>Noah&#8217;s ark<\/strong>? It certainly does; it&#8217;s essentially the same myth.<\/p>\n<h2>How the first Hellenes born after the Flood<\/h2>\n<p>After Deucalion and Pyrrha were rescued, they received an order from the God of Gods, <strong>Zeus<\/strong> (Jupiter). They were instructed to gather as many stones as they could find and toss them over their shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>The stones that Deucalion threw transformed into men, while those thrown by Pyrrha became women.<\/p>\n<p>They were the first <strong>Hellenes<\/strong> to repopulate <strong>Hellas<\/strong>, because the first stone thrown by Deucalion became a man named <strong>Hellen<\/strong> or <strong>Hellenas<\/strong>, who went on to have many children. Among his offspring were <strong>Aeolus<\/strong>, <strong>Dorus<\/strong>, <strong>Xuthus<\/strong>, and <strong>Ion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These descendants became the ancestors of the Greek tribes known as the <strong>Aeolians<\/strong>, <strong>Dorians<\/strong>, <strong>Achaeans<\/strong>, and <strong>Ionians<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>They were all referred to as Hellenes, and their land was known as Hellas.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fascinating story, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<h2>Roman imposition of Christianity and suppression of Hellenism<\/h2>\n<p>Hellenes posed a constant challenge to the early <strong>Roman Empire<\/strong> because they championed free thinking and rejected the doctrines of the emerging religion.<\/p>\n<p>Emperors employed persecutions, massacres, and the destruction of ancient monuments. They even went so far as to burn libraries containing invaluable ancient knowledge, stalling human progress. Oppression and numerous other atrocities were unleashed upon the Hellenes.<\/p>\n<p>The first documented destruction of the <strong>Parthenon<\/strong> occurred in the 4th century CE at the hands of Christian extremists. This is an undeniable historical fact often omitted from our educational system.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>Greek culture<\/strong> proved too resilient to be suppressed, prompting the Emperors to take more drastic measures to neutralize the Hellenic threat, including a change of name.<\/p>\n<p>The Romans referred to the Hellenes of Southern Italy as &#8220;<strong>Graecus<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Both Hellas and its inhabitants were renamed Graecia (Greece) and Graecus, respectively, in the wake of this shift. This was done to eradicate the term &#8220;Hellas&#8221; and reduce any perceived threat to the new religion, as the Hellenes continued to identify as <strong>Pagans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s well-documented that the use of the word &#8220;Hellenes&#8221; was strictly forbidden for several centuries in the Roman and later Byzantine Empires.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the Latin names Graecia and Graecus persisted in <strong>Romance languages<\/strong>, designating both the land and its people.<\/p>\n<h2>The correct name for Greece should be Hellas<\/h2>\n<p>Therefore, the correct name for the Greeks is &#8220;Hellenes&#8221; and their land should be called &#8220;Hellas&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 1827, the Greeks achieved their independence from the Ottomans. European public opinion, especially among Philhellenes, expressed a desire to name the new country &#8220;Hellas&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the Greek Orthodox Church vehemently opposed the international adoption of the name &#8220;Hellas&#8221; for the new nation. To the clergy, this name evoked memories of the old Hellenic legacy and the pagan religion.<\/p>\n<p>However, within the country, the name &#8220;Hellas&#8221; prevailed. In countries where Romance languages were spoken, the Roman-derived name &#8220;Greece&#8221; became the standard.<\/p>\n<p>Now, why doesn&#8217;t the Greek state attempt to internationally change the name, considering that &#8220;Hellas&#8221; is the only commonly used name within the country among the Greeks?<\/p>\n<p>Buckle up, because changing a country&#8217;s international name is no small feat. It&#8217;s like deciding to rearrange your entire room \u2013 pros and cons galore.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, folks believed it would be a monumental task with results that might not be all rainbows and butterflies. They figured the gain wouldn&#8217;t match the effort. So, despite &#8220;Hellas&#8221; being the beloved name at home, the international stage didn&#8217;t get the memo.<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it \u2013 a tale of tradition, identity, and a decision that might&#8217;ve seemed simple but came with a whirlwind of complexities. The name &#8220;Hellenes&#8221; might be the heart of the country, but sometimes, change is like an intricate puzzle that takes time and consideration to piece together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kad-spacer
