Be very proud to be a Greek. Greek = Hellene?
Posted by: zane hu at June 25, 2003 03:05 PMYes, Greek = Hellene. According to Aristotle, the Hellenes (originally Sellenes, in Greek, initial S became a rough breathing 'h') were previously called Graikoi. The Graeci ethnonym was the one with which the Romans knew them and from the Romans it became generally adopted in Roman-influenced societies.
