Explanation:
This part is not necessary for the answer. It is just a brief note to understand why we come across so many names of Greek people. There are many sub-tribes, clans, and related groups because they spoke Greek language. Some are Greek because they were conquered by the Greek empire. Under each of the three tribes there are many more separate groups divided by the location they lived. For example, Sparta, Myceneans, Symians, Agikoreis, Argadeis, Geleontes, Athenians, and many more are sub-tribes. Some groups are civilized while others are cruel barbarians. Athenians were civilized and they are the founders of the Olympic Games. We have to write a book to explain all available information.
