Can someone with half a brain enlighten me as to the difference between Greek and Hellene ?
(Greek: Έλληνες, /ˈe̞line̞s/), also known as Hellenes,
I thought that Greek was the English word for ...Hellene !!

Milti- Greek word comes from GREGOS (Stupid/pure people this is the meaning) cerain name gave to people / population of Greece by Westerns when Greece was under Ottoman occupation.Hellinas can mean the citizen of Greece as state but also a person who has a Helleinic mentality or routes or culture and can belong to a diffeent state (G/cs for example). You can say Greek for a citizen for the Greek Repuplic but same can not apply on the Hellenic World and its philosophy of life which is something International.

Of course everybody is normal to be confused since "Greek" as name is not accepted by many "Hellines", particularly educated people ,who prefer to call themselves Hellines and even their country Hellas and not Greece.

"Greek" is a Nationality. As is "Cypriot". As is "British". As is "Australian".

"Ellinas" is what 90% of Greek Nationals are and also what 82% of Cypriot Nationals are!

[Get Real!]

Nonsense! Man made intangible things are better known as imaginary!

In reality, Cypriot nationals are Cypriots!

Greek nationals living in Cyprus such as yourself are just Greek nationals living in Cyprus!

Cyprus is not Greek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cyprus is the home of the Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots, Armenian Cypriots, Maronite Cypriots, and very lately lots of EU members................

Here here !!!

What do you "here"?

Is the Turkish cry of "Cyprus is not Greek" enough? Have you questioned the Turk with what he intends to replace this mantra with? Have you questioned the Turk where most of the people he lists as Cypriots are living? Why they are NOT allowed in nearly half of their country?

All you know is how to repeat what suits the Turks!

Ask him. Go on, ask halil! Where are these Cypriots; the Greek ones, the Armenian ones, the Maronite ones -- where are they living? Not in the bit they want to make into the new Cyprus! And, do you think they will stop there?

Go on, Janus, go and make up with your other half ...

He is neither here or there for he has lost the plot!
