Why lead with more personally directed comments? Instead help me understand how a geographic area that has changed cultures is the best way to refer to the culture being talked about? At least refer to XYZ/ABC/123 populated Anatolia or something (I get it can get somewhat blurry in that area and time). I don't think the linguistic root of the geographic area's name gives all that much context and think they cop out because interdisciplinary politics of if ABC or XYZ is Greek but they then leave unread people like myself uninformed who they are talking about.

They went into enough specifics to name individual cities but I admit I don't always know which cultures lived in which cities in which time periods off the top of my head. I remember just enough that calling it 'Greek style' for the Greek cities they named seemed wrong to me. I think it's more informative when articles gives at least a little insight to unread people like me on which populations they are referring to, not just geography:

Many people (ok, Americans :) ) don't even realize Greeks lived in Anatolia anymore.
