HELLAS

The Greeks don't call themselves 'Greek', but 'Hellenes'. While their land is known to themselves as 'Hellas'.

From the other hand, the non-Greeks used to be called by the Greeks 'barbarians'. Including the Kartvelian-speaking peoples of Minor Asia.

But do you know what a Kartvelian word ელლენური [ellenuri] means, other than, actually, 'Hellenic'? It also means 'pagan', which is barbarian. It comes from the word 'elleni' which also means 'pagan'.

Who is pagan and barbarian to whom is a big question.

The Danaians and Achaeans, who intruded the Ancient Greece and brought there modern Greek language, in fact, were savages and barbarians.

Now let's have a look at the famous Ancient 'Greeks'...

Herodotus is from Karia. Kartvelian-speaking. Diogenes is from Paphlagonia. Kartvelian-speaking. Strabo is from there too. Homer (actually, Omer) is likely to be Pelasgian. Kartvelian-speaking. The fact that they wrote in Greek doesn't say much about their true origin.

And now the most interesting. What is 'pagan'? Who is he opposed to? Christianity? Monotheism? Conventional mainstream religion? What could be opposed to paganism at the moment when the first Hellenic savages showed up in Greece? Against what background could the Ancient Greeks be called pagans?

The answer is as follows. This background was the Kartvelian-speaking community from Portugal to Northern India. With a religion of their own, of course. That's exactly what the Hellenes looked pagans against.

What religion was that? There's still no answer to this. Just keep in mind that in two thousand years there emerged another religion in Kartvelian-speaking lands, which we know through a person named Iesa Christ...
