In the historic period, the people of this race called themselves by the name Hellenes, and their language Hellenic. We call them Greeks, from the Roman name Graeci. They were divided into Aeolians, Dorians, and Ionians. The Aeolians inhabited Aeolia (in Asia), Lesbos, Boeotia, and Thessaly; the Dorians inhabited Peloponnesus, Doris, Crete, some cities of Caria (in Asia), with the neighbouring islands, Southern Italy, and a large part of Sicily; the Ionians inhabited Ionia (in Asia), Attica, many islands in the Aegean Sea, and some other places. The dialects of the Aeolians and the Dorians are known as the Aeolic and Doric dialects. In the language of the Ionians we must distinguish the Old Ionic, the New Ionic, and the Attic dialects. The Old Ionic or Epic is the language of the Homeric poems, the oldest Greek literature (before 800 B.C.). The New Ionic was the language of Ionia in the fifth century B.C., as it appears in Herodotus S.G. E 1 |
