People who say that ERE diverged culturally from WRE are mistaken. WRE copied Hellenic culture and old Greek language was spoken in Rome by the aristocrats. Basically, Greek part of Empire is culturally original.

They definitely aren't.

The ERE diverged from itself over a thousand years. Look at how many distinct phases fit into their culture. Heck, just look at...say... 400-800 ad.

Just like the West did from itself in a "how it started" "how it ended" fashion.

Both of those two entities diverged hugely over their life.

If you want to call them different names that's fine, if you want to call them the same, that's fine.
