Arian Greeks?
OK - I'll start this with a story and lead into a question:
Three years ago, #1 son was in a baseball league. One of the kids had a Greek name - and his mother was dark complexioned with black hair - looked about as 'Greek' as I thought I could expect. But the last name was her husband's, and he had red hair. I asked her about this once. She referred to him as an 'Arian Greek'. Further - she said that historically Greeks had been of Arian stock - but the centuries of occupation by the Ottomans had changed that. It was news to me. But I figure I could check this with my European Entmoot friends. Have you folks heard this before? Is it commonly understood to be the case? Thank you.
