In Greek mythology and legendary prehistory of the Aegean region, the Minyans were a group among the original autochthonous inhabitants. Modern archaeologists sometimes apply the term "Minyans" differently, to indicate the very first wave of Indo-European speakers in the 2nd millennium BCE, among the early Bronze Age cultures sometimes identified with the beginning of Middle Helladic culture.
