What is the difference between a Greek and a Hellene?
The people commonly known as Greeks called themselves Hellenes, and Greece was Hellas (after and ancestor called Hellen). The name Greek came from a Roman error. As the Romans expanded down the Italian peninsula, the came on an Italian tribe called the Graeci. As they went further, they ran into the Hellenic colonies on the coast - Tarentum, Sybaris, Croton etc. Thinking them to be more Graeci, they called them collectively Magna Graeci (great greeks). The word Greek stuck, and was applied to the rest of the Hellenic world.

Why do they call Greece Greece?
The Greeks called and still call themselves Hellenes.They overpopulated their small and poor country, and the city states sent out their surplus populations into colonies around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Some colonies were established in Italy (Naples = Nea Polis, new city, Tarentum, Sybaris, Croton etc plus plenty in Sicily).In their expansion down the Italian Peninsula in the 4th and 3rd Centuries BCE, the Romans encountered a Latin tribe called the Graeci. As they went further they ran into the Greek cities at the bottom of Italy, and thinking them to be a lot more of the Graeci tribe, called them the Magna Graeci.The word Graeci (anglicised to 'Greek') was erroneously extended to the home country and people of the widespread Hellenic colonies, and the word Greek has stuck.

What do you call a native of Greece?
The Greeks call themselves Hellenes. This derived from their traditional founder Helen. The country they call Hellas. Others call it Greece and the people are called Greeks. This originated in a misconception - when the Romans were penetrating the south of the Italian peninsula over 2300 years ago they came across a tribe called the Gaeci. Going further south they found the Greek cities on the southern coast (Tarentum, Sybaris etc) and imagining this area was also inhabited by Graeci, they called it Magna Graeci (Great Grece). The name stuck, and today we still call these people Greeks. The Greeks call themselves Hellenes, but have to go with the flow of what the rest of the world calls them.
Why are Ancient Greeks called ancient Greeks?
They called themselves Hellenes. As the Romans spread down the Italian peninsula they ran into a tribe called the Graeci. As they went further, they ran into a lot of Hellenic cities, and thinking them the same people, called them the Great Graeci (Greeks). The name has stuck, but the 'reeks' today still think of themselves a Hellenes.
