Hellada is an a Region not a NATION.

People who colonized Italy (Latium) are people from Hellada and Anatolia, so how could they fall in love with Greece being from Hellada themselves.

Italy is not just Latium and Greeks never colonized Latium in antiquity. Those Greeks who came to southern Italy were first Euboeans, and then Dorians, Ionians, Corinthians, Achaeans, Spartans, Megarans, Phocaeans, Locrians, Cretans, Rhodians: for this reason it'll be called "Greater Greece", because they gave birth to a new race of Greeks. For example the colonies sent athletes of all disciplines to the games that were held periodically at Olympia and Delphi in Greece. In addition, the colonists of Magna Graecia were very fond of the Hellenic games where they could give evidence to the Greeks of their membership to the same place of origin, their physical strength and skills in the games also played by their ancestors ten generations before. And that's why the greatest rulers demanded that teams be trained to send to Greece. Sport was therefore a channel of communication with the Hellenic peninsula, a means by which the colonies of Magna Graecia made their voices heard. It was often a movement run more by politics than by dedication to fight, discus and all the other activities that were practiced during those important competitive events. The Italiotes and the Siceliots had great successes in the sporting competitions in the motherland. Suffice it to say that the athletes of Crotone won 20 titles in 26 Olympics between 588 BC and 488 BC, so as to be second only to Sparta, in front of Athens.

Aeneas came from Troy (anatolia)

People of Argos came as well

Arcadians came

No offence but that video looks like a load of bullshit.

Aeneas founding Rome is a legend of the 1st century AD, but it's indeed a myth, not real history. Plus, many Romans claimed to be Greeks just to ennoble themselves, it doesn't mean that Romans were really Greeks.

Romans were Greeks, Celts, Illyrians, Thracians and Anatolians.

Greeks were the forerunners of Roman Empire (They founded it)

That doesn't make the superior... back than nationalism did not exist in modern form.

[Kamal900]

Well, the Greeks were the ones who had given the Romans the sense of civilization afterall which later gave birth to western civilization as a whole.
