Pictures are taken from various sources for spreading knowledge; this is a non- commercial blog.
First let us look at two basic facts:-
1.Greeks is relatively a modern term given to the people by Romans. Now it is called Hellas. Scholars could not give the meaning of both the names. Only conjectural theories are there.
2.Greek civilization did not begin in mainland but in an island known as Crete.
Now let me give some important words connected with earliest period of Greek History:
3.First civilization in Greece is MINOAN. In Tamil ‘’MIINAVAN meaning a King of ancient Tamil Kingdom of Pandyas. They had the title Miinavan (equivalent to Sanskrit Matsyas. Both Miin and Matsya mean Fish in English)
4.One of the earliest kings mentioned by Herodotus and others is PANDION . Oldest Tamil Kingdom is Pandiyan kingdom. Their Tamil academies are dated to a fabulous period of 10,000 years (In Iraiyaanar Akapporul Urai)

Who was PANDION?
5.According to Herodotus, the Lycians originally came from Crete and were the followers of Sarpedon. They were expelled by Minos and ultimately settled in territories belonging to the Solymoi (or Milyans) of Milyas in Asia Minor. The Lycians were originally known as Termilae before being named after Lycus who was the son of Pandion.
–from Wikipedia under Lycians.
6.Note another important word in the above passage:
They were called TERMILAI. Scholars have already identified that DRAVIDA became DRAMILA which became TAMIL or vice verse.
So we can easily see TERMILAI is nothing but Dramila i.e Tamils.
If a person concocts a theory on a single word , scholars will summarily reject it. But we see Three words here: Minoan, Pandion and Termilai. So one can not reject them just like that. And all these are said by the earliest historian Herodotus of sixth century BCE!
7.The comparisons do not stop there. More interesting things are “N” ending in Pandion, another king Sarpindon etc. This is a typical Tamil feature.
8.Early Historians added one more interesting information. They were a matriarchal society. They called themselves by their mothers names.
This is again a Tamil feature. In my article about Amazons of India (Stri Rajyas= Woman Kingdoms) of India I have given two Stri Rajyas, one in North West India and another in Tamil Nadu. Even Megasthanes referred to ‘Pandeya’ Queen of Madurai 2300 years ago. That was Goddess Meenkashi of Madurai. She may have lived several hundred years before Megathanes. Like we worship Kshatria kings Rama and Krishna as Gods, she would have become a Goddess in course of time. In fact, Tamil and Sanskrit literature use the one word for God and King! tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
Arjuna- Alli Rani (Rani=Queen) is a famous dance theme in Tamil folklore. Allirani is named Chirangada in Mahabharata. So matriarchy existed in Tamil Stri Rajya at one time.
My Comments:
Based on the above facts, what I surmise is there was a fight between the Tamil migrants in Crete Island; Tamil Minoan (Miinavan) and Tamil Pandion (Pandyan) had fraternal fight like we see in the Mahabharata or later Tamil Sangam Period History. In fact, Tamils are the longest fighting race in the world. Three Tamil kings fought among themselves continuously for at least 1600 years till they invited Muslims to interfere. And Muslims devoured all the three Tamil kingdoms and finished Tamil Rule in Tamil land in 14th century CE. In short Tamil rulers committed suicide by inviting Muslim invaders.
Back to Greece
Greek is place where people of mixed races migrated and a lot of newer things emerged from 8th Century BCE when Homer wrote first Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey . They had a darker period of 400 years before Homer. No scholar is able to tell us what happened.
9.We see lot of similarities between the Greeks and Hindus.
I have already written about the following:
1.Rig Vedic Sarama dog story in Greek Hermes Dog story
2.Comprison between Penelope and Nappinnai in Tamil
3.Torjan Horse came from Turaga (horse in Sanskrit). When you say Trojan Horse actually you are saying Horse Horse Story. The word Turkey came from Turaga where from Hindus imported horses. The earliest Sanskrit inscription, writing, manual, letters – all came from Turkey-Syria region.
(Please read my articles or Wikipedia articles on Mitannian Civilization, Amarna/Dasaratha letters in Egypt, Kikkuli’s Horse manual with Sanskrit instructions—all dated 14th century BCE!!!) tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
10.More New information
Words Crete is from the Sanskrit word Krita/Crown.
If you look at the map of Greece, you can see Crete looks like a crown on the head of Greek Mother, like India has Kashmir crown on Bharat Matha (Mother India).
Some scholars believe Shresta (the best) became Crete.
11.More Tamil words!
Tamils called all their ports Thurai. It is in the most famous city of TROY.
So with Troy, Pandion, Minovan and Termilai we are dead sure about Tamil connection to ancient Greece.
My Pet Theory
From 2012 I have been writing in this blog that Sanskrit and Tamil were the two languages that gave birth to other ancient languages. Tamil and Sanskrit came from one source, Lord Shiva, according to Tamil poets. Because they had the same morphological structure Agastya Rishi from the Himalayas came and codified the first grammar book for Tamil. This is also not disputed by anyone. From Kalidasa’s Raguvamsa to the greatest modern Tamil poet Bharati we read about Tamil-Pandya-Agastya connection.
Even before Alexander’s invasion Tamil words are found in Greek. Common origin of Sanskrit and Greek are accepted by all world scholars. My theory is Tamil also belonged to same root and the case suffixes and the Sandhi Rules (Joining rules) are unique to Tamil and Sanskrit.
12.Tamil words in Greek
I have already listed in my earlier posts the following words:
Paleo (Pazaiaya in Tamil), Tele (Tholai), Nereids/water nymphs (Neer), Oryza (Arisi), Odometer (Odu), Syrinx (Suranga), Dolia (Thaazi), Penelope (Nappinnai, Pene=Pinnu),
Amphorae (ambanam, ambaaram), Alpha (A, Aa), Pepper (Pippali), Tyrannos (Thiram), Pathos (Padu, Vathai), Anthropo (Aan, Andiran/Indra, Andrew), Cheir (Kai), Paidi (paiyan=page in English), Mega (Maha, Maa). tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
Apart from these words, Sandal, Ginger, Malapathram (cinnamon), Ezini (yavanika/curtain), Hora (hour, Orai in Tamil), Gala (Halu in Kannada Paal in Tamil) and many more words are referred to by other scholars.
A Tamil-Sanskrit root word can branch out in only two ways and it is seen in ,
Pathos – Padu, Pattaaan in Tamil and Vathai in Sanskrit
Anthropo – Aan, Andiran in Tamil and Indra in Sanskrit
Sandal – Saanthu in Tamil, Chandan in Sanskrit.
Une – Eka – Eine – One in Tamil, Eka in Sanskrit
Mega – Maha- Maa in Tamil
If we follow this pattern, we can trace most of the ancient word to either Sanskrit or Tamil.
That means the world became civilized by Sanskrit and Tamil contacts. Hindus migrated to other parts of the world from India and spread the culture.
13.YAVANAS/GREEKS are HINDUS says Mahabharata.
Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians, Mayans say that they came to the land from elsewhere. But the only people in the world who say they are the sons of the soil are Hindus. Vedic scriptures and later Sangam books never talked about outward origin or migration into India. Hindu scripture said that even Devas (heavenly angels) wanted to be born in India. tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
About Tamil literary references to Yavana guards, Yavana Colonies, Yavana lamps, Yavana wine, Yavana architects, Yavana mystic Oracles etc I have posted several articles here.
Hindu scripture say that all races Yavanas, Sakas/scythyans, Kambojas, Dravidians, Pahrlavas/Iranians and many other people came from Divine Cow- Kama dhenu. They consider all the world comprise only Hindus. But the scripture say that they did not follow all the rules of Vedas or they were born to mixed caste/ race couples. This is very unique. They say all came from the same source. If we apply it to their speeches, naturally they should have spoken only one language!
14.Yet another proof of Vedic Hindus’ expansion is seen in the names of the first Kings: India- Manu, Egypt- Manu/Menes, Greece – Manu/Minos
15.Here is a sloka from Mahabharata first book Adi Parvam:-
Yados tu yaadavaa jaataas turvasor yavanaahaa sutaahaa
Druhyor api sutaa bhojaa anos tu mlecchajaatayaha
-1-80-26,mahabharta
Van Buitenen translation – tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
From Yadu sprang the Yadava; Turvasu’s sons are known as the Yavanas; Druhyu’s sons became the Bhojas; Anu’s, the tribes of the Barbarians.
Mlecchas are also Vedic people.
Vedas mention Pancha Janaahaa/ Five groups. They are
Yadu, Turvasu, Druhyu, Anu and Puru.
There are lot of references to Yavanas/Greeks. I will give the translation of a few more slokas/couplets below:-
Visvamitra , while still a king, tries to take the sage Vasistha’s cow Kaamadhenu . 1-165-35
Then Vasistha became angry and cursed Visvamitra and the cow produced troops to drive away the enemies.
“From her/cow’s horse she created the Pahlavas; the Sabaras and Sakas from the dung; from her urine she created the Yavanas, as she well high swooned with rage. From her foam she brought forth the Pundras, Kiratas, Dramidas, Simhalas, Barbaras, Daradas and Mlecchas. And when she brought forth these manifold hosts of Barbarians clad in their manifold armour and brandishing arms , she scattered with her furious troops that large enemy before Visvamitra’s eyes”.
Hindus always speak in symbolic language. Because of Kamadhenu there was a clash and as a result of which these people sided with Visvamitra, but defeated by Vasistha’s troops– is the hidden message
16.What we have to see here is that the sloka mentioned all the Vedic tribes came from one source- the Divine Cow. And all parts of cow except the front are sacred to Hindus. No one came from the front part of the cow. Hindus even today touch the backside of the cows and worship them. They show the backside (arse) of the cow to the god in all the temples in the early morning .They use the cow dung and urine for purification. Cow’s urine and dung have anti-bacterial medical properties. All are our people is the simple message conveyed through this story. tamilandvedas.com, swamiindology.blogspot.com
(Pahlavas- Iranians, Barbarians- Babylonians, Darads- Tartarians, Kiratas-Chinese, Yavanas- Greeks/Romans, Dravidas- South Indians etc).
Later when the Hindus spread about to different parts of the world, they slowly adopted other local customs.
