You mean Pelasgians - the aboriginal peoples of Greece and Cyprus?
Before recorded Time, (c. 900 BCE) but during an active migration era of prehistoric Greece (c. 10,000 BCE), a people came into the Pelaponnesus, presumably from the north, and settled around the eastern Mediterranian coast and its islands. They were called "Pelasgians,"...
The word pelasgian means from the sea. It also means hairy. And to top it all, it means springing from the earth... sticks embedded in the earth that spring up in human form to populate their surroundings. From this we can conjure up a race of people that came from the sea, wore beards, and were "indigenous." Hence, they were the aborigines who settled the Pelaponnesus, coming before the Dorians. One might say they were the aboriginal ancestors of what we now call "Hellenes" -- today's Greeks as they have come down through the ages.

I thought he meant autochthonous - something that the
ancient Athenians believed about themselves.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
Where does it say that the Pelasgeans settled in Cyprus around 10,000BC? It does not mention Cyprus.
And what about the Autochthon of Cyprus? They had nothing to do with Pelasgeans of Greece, but had their own civilization, so why must this be crushed to advance the identity of a foreign people? Did the Greeks try to commit genocide in Cyprus? If so, we are right to hate them. We are right to banish and persecute them from Cyprus.
We gave them an alphabet, and they offer nothing but destruction in return.
We have our own ID, and time will heal all the psychological damage and the brainwashing you are afflicted with. We do not need Greece, and we don't want them, unless they are willing to accept the fact that they are a bunch a corrupt, and bankrupt people, who are too stupid and too backward to even run their country even. So why do they not accept their worthlessness, and attach themselves to the Cypriot Culture. In fact, why don't they hand back their so called Greek Culture to Cyprus, which they stole from us anyway?
Why should anything be called Greek? It should revert to Cypriot because we invented everything. And if they want to be identified as one, then it is THEY that must accept their rightful position as subordinates to Cyprus and it is THEY that should start to call themselves Cypriot if that is what they want.
They have done nothing but damage us, and bring our people down.
You are half Greek. So which half is the better half? Is it the top half or the bottom half? Judging by your IQ, it would have to be your bottom half.
