[Ludens]

Ludens, that is why I said, I am not certain. Hell even here in Denmark we can hardly agree to who is Danish and not, and what it takes to be a Dane (in our cultural encounter with lots of Middle Eastern immigrants and the EU) thus it would probably be hard for us to define Greek, Hellenes, etc, it also shifted over time.

Indeed. I didn't know what you meant when you wrote that you weren't certain, so I added that the Greeks themselves weren't certain either. Anyway, I do recall that Demosthenes only called the Macedonians "semi-barbarian", so apparently even he admitted they were close to the "proper" Greeks.

But that is always the case is it not? Were the Normans French? Viking? Something else combining the two? Were the "Anglo-Saxons" of 1066, Anglo-Saxon, Danish? Something else? Some merger of the three?

Certainly, that's why it's nitpicking . I wanted to make clear that, just because their rulers became Hellenic, not everyone donned togas and took an interest in philosophy.
