You can also wonder about the Philistine "States" while the right word would be Poleis or city-states given those were more likely Greek settlements just like many others all over the Mediterranean Sea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.135.61.125 (talk) 23:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- Doubtful as the Philistine's Aegean cultural connections are likely Mycenean, not the Greeks in the sense you mean, e.g. those after the Greek Dark Age.
