Greece. (location: Rand McNally 83 39 n x 21 30 e).
Ety: The words "Greece", and "Greek" are derived from the Latin Graecia (Greece). Land-mass area including the Greek mainland, Peloponnesus and the Aegean islands.
Pre-historic - First wave of neolithic immigrants apparently from the south by sea, settled in Crete and along the eastern coast of the mainland, earliest sites c. 4000. (Extensive Neolithic deposits have been found in Macedonia, Thessaly, Boeotia, Attica, the Peloponesus, Crete and some of the smaller islands.) Around 3500 came immigrants from the north bringing a neolithic culture evolved in the Danube basin. They settled in Thessaly and as far south as the Gulf of Corinth. By 3000 Crete and the southern coast of the Greek mainland possessed the higher technology of the Age of copper. Trade occurred throughout the Aegean and the Middle East, especially with Egypt, and by 2400 the area had entered the Bronze Age. Somewhat later than 3000 - early Bronze Age - a hostile invasion of migrants appeared on the mainland from the north. Their arrival was accompanied by the submergence of the previous populations. (Non-Greek Populations absorbed on their arrival in Greece: Pelasgians, Eteocretans.) By 2000 Crete had towns dominated by palace-temples, the greatest Knossos. From 1700-1400 Cretan culture influenced the Hellene mainland (especially Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Thebes and Orchomenus). From 2000: onwards there was a continuous development of Hellenic culture on the mainland. To the 17th century is ascribed the rise of a powerful aristocracy - wealth revealed at Mycenae acquired by plunder - who sacked Knossos c. 1400 bringing the Cretan civilization to an end. During the 14th c. or perhaps as late as 1250, Indo-European migrants again from the north and perhaps from the Danube area, calling themselves Achaens, with a technology of iron, settled in southern Thessaly, from where they moved into Peloponnesus and dominated Argolis. They introduced the Greek language, while absorbing the Mycenae culture of their predecessors. About 1200 the Achaeans sacked Troy. Invading Dorian tribes from the north, beginning perhaps as early as the 12th c., drove some of the Achaeans into Asia Minor, others into a region of northern Peloponnesus which in classical times was named after them. The Greeks of the classical period (c. 850-323) were a mixture of Mediterranean stock from the south through Crete, and Alpine or Nordic stock from the north [same as, or also ancestors of, the Celts?]. The ancient Greek religion was also a fusion including Indo-European, Asian and Cretan elements.
Haliartus. Seems to have been a town in Boeotia, Greece. A battle fought by Thebans against Sparta occurred there in 395 {B.C.? yes I think so}. Ref: Ency. Brit. 13th ed. vol 26-742. Apparently {probably according to Robert Graves} one of the `tombs' of Alcmene is to be found there.

Hattite,
Hattusus, (azov 1968 Bogazkoy, Turkey) city in the state of Hatti, Asia Minor. During the 19th cent. it was a trading center for Assyrian merchants. Some time after 1800 it was sacked by Hittites. Refounded c.1650. it became the Hittite capital city. Final Hittite fall occurred in early 12th cent. Reoccupation attributed to Phrygians who settled in north west Asia Minor late in the second millennium and dominated the area after the Hittite collapse. In its last years the town is identifiable as Pteria, sacked by Lydians in 547. It was the home of the cult of Teshub, the weather God, who had a temple there.
