In Greek mythology, Hellen is considered the mythical ancestor of all Greeks because he was believed to be the progenitor of the Hellenic people through his three sons, Dorus, Xuthus, and Aeolus. These sons were the founders of the major tribes that would later form the Greek nation. Over time, stories and legends reinforced this belief, establishing Hellen as the common ancestor from whom all Greeks descended.
