Greeks
The Greeks (, ) are a nation and ethnic group who have populated Greece and the area of the Aegean Sea for over 4,000 years. Today they are primarily found in the Balkan peninsula of southeastern Europe, the Greek islandsCyprus, and throughout the world as part of the Greek diaspora.

Ancient Greek colonies and communities were established throughout the Mediterranean, including southern Italy, Marseilles, and Barcelona, but Greek people have always concentrated around the Aegean coasts, where the Greek language has been spoken since antiquity. The Mycenaeans were the first historical people to arrive in the area now referred to as 'Greece'. According to Thucydides, the name of Hellas spread from a valley in Thessaly to all Greek-speaking peoples through Homer's works.

greek
1. <textgraphics> To display text as abstract dots and lines in order to give a preview of layout without actually being legible. This is faster than drawing the characters correctly which may require scaling or other transformations. Greeking is particularly useful when displaying a reduced image of a document where the text would be too small to be legible on the display anyway.
2. lorem ipsum.
