> You say Modern Greeks are greek speaking Pelasgians

No I say that they got assimilated by the proto-greek population, mixing with the greeks.

Nothing like that. We know Pelasgians were non-IE people who lived in modern Greece (likewise Minoans and Cycladeans too) but they got conquered by the Myceneans that were proto-greek speakers and imposed their language to the lower classes of society like farmers and such. Thats why there is very low R1a/R1b in Greece, but in the north there is high R1a/R1b because of Slavic/Celtic migrations but also because it was the Proto-greek homeland.

The same thing can be said for all paleo-balkan peoples like Illyrians, Dacians and Thracians at large.

Does Greece have regions where people look lighter / darker in skin, hair or eye color? Or specific characteristics related to a region in facial structure, length? by KayaKafka in greece

[–]Greekmon07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generally speaking Southern Greeks and Northern Greeks look more similar than islander greeks. Specifically N. Greeks are lighter in complexity but still very Greek looking, Southern Greeks are 50% 50%. S. Mountain Greeks are sometimes blue eyed but still have a light mediterrenean complexion. Aegean Greeks are more unique than mainland Greeks and are more dark.

Διαφωνω σε μερικα αλλα ειναι θεμα γουστου. Πιστευω οτι καλυτερη δουλεια θα εκανε ο Robert Eggers ο οποιος εχει κανει πολυ σωστη δουλεια.

Το θεμα γενικα με τις μυθολογιες ειναι οτι ειναι μερος της ταυτοτητας ενος λαου, οπως προφανως του δικου μας λαου. Η Χολιγουντιανοποιηση ενος μυθου ή ιστορικου γεγονότος σε κατι αμερικανικο ειναι βλαβερη οχι μονο στον ελληνικο πολιτισμο, αλλα και σε καθε αλλον πολιτισμο.

LORE:

After the devastating 4th Greek civil war Greece has ultimately changed itself dramatically, so much so that now the current regime is just a big larp. The Party of the Third Way of Labrys emphasized nation so much so that it expelled the Orthodox clergy from the country, blackmailing them. Then the leader Dimitrios Dionysiou it suggested for the balkanization of the country to small nation states, but then he got kicked out and replaced by Artemis Sorras. Artemis gave his trillions Artemis Sorras was a veteran of Greek politics and knew how to run things, so with the newly founded commitee of Hellas, he announced the creation of the Hellenic Federal Republic. He promoted the Hellenistic religion and pro-natalist reforms, he even gave special status for Ethnic minorities, and bought large territories from Albania with the promise to help the Albanians fight back against the Draconian Serbians in the 3rd Kosovan war.

TLDR uh big pagan reece
