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.
