|  Should 'Greece' be known as Hellas worldwide? What do you guys think? Should the name of Greece in the English language be universally replaced by Hellas? I have mixed feelings about this.

| Hellas (Ελλάς) is more correct historically speaking. On the other hand, I bbelieve that if the country progresses, the name doesn't matter that much. But yes, Hellas is the real name (as for Ireland is Eire for istance)...
