    Default Re: Some greek names are wrong ( I think)

    1. Attica, the region around Athens.
    2. Doric is spoken in many regions, most prominent is the region of Sparta, but Doric colonies are found in Asia minor, Krete, Sicily and probably elsewhere.
    3. Koine=Common (feminine gender of adjective koinos). Koinon Hellenon is supposed to be transalated like "Greek Commonwealth" or something (koinon is the neuter of the adjective).

    @Ibrahim: pmed you.
