Oh yes you do!
Without a “Greece” or “Ellada” or “Hellas” or "Ellas" since you prefer Greek, there could NOT have possibly been a people to identify with a NON-ENTITY!
YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT!
What we are being served with today is MANUFACTURED HISTORY that stemmed from the early 1800s as part of the larger European package of maneuvers made back then to oppose and defeat the Ottomans.

Then by your argument, there was no such place as "Cyprus". Only another little state among many little states all sharing a common language and culture (much like now ). All comprising the Hellenic whole.

The like-minded people who exchanged cultures, similar gods, similar myths, similar language lived all over the mainland and islands that we only NOW call Greece, Cyprus, Crete etc (with our lingua franca of ENGLISH) intermingled constantly as they left trad-routes. The Minoan and Mycenaeans and Cypriots for example had many exchanges as the (inter alia) language dialects reveal.
Each time you try and destroy the history of Greece you destroy a lot of that of Cyprus too (I would be concerned, but your arguments are too crappy to bother with )
