HELLENES (Greeks) & ELLAS Origins
#12
Quote:Hi guys
did any of you see the movie "My big fat greek wedding".

There is the old proud greek father of the greek bride that keeps telling everyone that words, and just about everything else of importance, comes from Greece! The girl friends and the bride try to contest the old man by coming up with a counter example. They provocatively say "how about KIMONO?". But the old man doesn't even glitch and is brilliantly able to come up with an etymology to prove the greek origin of that word too. Hilarious scene!

Well then forget about my origins, I will not participate on this discussion.
but mine origins is the 3 that I state above, so its true.... about if were greeks or not, only the mighty Lord knows...


Some may have faith & not in what historian tell, as some has faith in the Bible tell you.

I dont put all my trust in etymology neither, that, for the cases of many religious & political biase
Thank you all, thanks Olivios too :wink: ....

Philip said that the Athenians were like the bust of Hermes: all mouth and dick.
