Etymology

From Ἕλληνες (Héllēnes, Greeks), most probably a derivation of Ἑλλοί (Helloí) or Σελλοί (Selloí), the Greek inhabitants of the area around the sanctuary of Dodona (Δωδώνη), itself of pre-Greek origin.[1]. In Greek mythology Ἕλλην (Héllēn), whom the Ἕλληνες (Héllēnes, Greeks) were named after, was the son of Δευκαλίων (Deukalíōn) and Πύρρα (Púrrha).
