You can see it both ways.

[MacedonianEyes]

the Romans make us famous as "greeks" cause of a hellenic race on south italy called "graekoi"....same on arabs where knows us "yunan" cause of the hellenic race of "iones" on east....greece = Hellas....

[eliopoulosgiannis]

Sellas meant light and Hellas is the land of light. Hellens the children of light.

[azraelsembrace]

Greece itself is called Ελλάδα.

[azraelsembrace]

In modern greek, these would be the main terms...... 1) Greek (adj.)-- Ελληνικός............ 2) Greek Male (Men) Έλληνας (Έλληνες) ........... 3) Greek Female (Women) Ελληνίδα (Ελληνίδες).......... 4) Greek Babies-- Ελληνόπουλα............ Now, as one can see, the statement that all greeks are an "ellenas" is a little bit of a masogynistic statement. For there must allso be an ellenida or else there would be no ellenopoulas.

[DIONYSISZANTE]

there are other countries in the world called by a different name by the west than what the locals call themselves,

Any way if you would like more info just contact me

[DIONYSISZANTE]

This author doesn't know what he's talking about, in ancient Greece you were either an ellenas or a barbaros

( foreigner), even from the time of the Trojan war and that was way before the time of Alexander , so where talking 3000 years at least, when Greece was formed it was named Greece by foreign powers but in Greece we are called The republic of Ellas, not Hellas,and we are called Ellines, it really should be corrected,

[DIONYSISZANTE]

You haven't heard of the Persian wars? The city states even when they were at war with one another would unite as ellenes to fight barbarians

[Axcendar]

There were not many useful evidence except for a few ruins that were not of much use for proving their race as superior, so they invented the lie that is known as Hellenism and made it big and important.

[Axcendar]

Since the beginning of 19th century colonizers who had taken over almost the whole world with massacres, lies and force were looking for their genealogical tree and the making of their superior race. For a couple of centuries before that they tried hard to make Rome as a symbol of culture and government and science and present a base for their antecedent but in Italy and Roman history.
