The Greeks (, ) are a
nation and
ethnic group who have populated
Greece and the area of the
Aegean Sea for over 4,000 years. Today they are primarily found in the
Balkan peninsula of southeastern
Europe, the
Greek islands,
Cyprus, and throughout the world as part of the
Greek diaspora.Ancient Greek colonies and communities were established throughout the
Mediterranean, including southern Italy,
Marseilles, and
Barcelona, but Greek people have always concentrated around the
Aegean coasts, where the
Greek language has been spoken since antiquity. The Mycenaeans were the first historical people to arrive in the area now referred to as 'Greece'. According to
Thucydides, the name of Hellas spread from a valley in Thessaly to all Greek-speaking peoples through
Homer's works.
