Talk:Names of the Greeks

message: The phrase 'Argives is an annotation drawn from the capital the Achaeans,[dubious – discuss] Argos' was indeed dubious, if not outright wrong, since Argos was not a capital in the modern sense of of the word, but the most important/hegemonic city among a number of independant cities. I changed it into 'Argives is ... from the most prominent city of the Achaeans...'. If all are pleased with this rendering, please remove the dubious tag (I will not remove it myself, because I think that it's the tagger's role to judge if the phrase is no longer dubious). 62.169.203.72 (talk)xzar  —Preceding undated comment added 10:49, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

*Byzantinist August Heisenberg (1869–1930) defined the Byzantine Empire as "the Christianised Roman empire of the Greek nation".; : "Byzanz ist das christlich gewordene Römerreich griechischer Nation."

*According to Paulus Diaconus in his Historia Langobardorum the Empire was Greek and the people of this Greek Empire were Greeks and so were some of its Emperors

*Norsemen clearly perceived the Byzantine Greek Empire as Grikkland (Greece) and its inhabitants as Grikk(j)ar (Greeks), and so it can be seen engraved in the Greece runestones.

message: "There is currently no satisfactory etymology for the name Hellenes." -From the article. Reading the talk page, above, I read that Graikoi became Hellene. My hypothesis is: Did Graikoi become Hellene after adding El the Hellenic Pantheon? Zeus, Deucalion, and Pyrrha gave birth to the original Hellenes. In Aramaic, what does Hellene/El-en/El-in/El-ene/El-ine mean? "El, the/of X."?

message: I reverted the addition of the following material  on the Illyrians and Albanians for a number of reasons.
# The material is largely off-topic and even goes into WP:COATRACK territory. This article is not about the names of the Illyrians and Albanians. There are other articles where this can be added, but not here. 
# The article is also quite long and we should avoid clutter.
# There are many instances of a single tribe being the origin of the name of larger group, this is not unique to the Illyrians and Albanians. Examples include Bulgars --> Bulgarians, Sorbs --> Serbs, Rus' --> Russians, Franks --> French, Angles --> English, the list goes on. Are we to list of all these here as well? Of course not.
