Anotations

Scope note:

Nationality and culture making up one of the four major divisions of the ancient Greek people, along with the Aeolians, Achaeans and Ionians; distinguished by a well-marked dialect and social subdivisions. They probably originated in Macedonia and Epirus, and moved southward into central Greece and then into the southern Aegean area in successive migrations beginning ca. 1100 BCE, at the end of the Bronze Age.
