I think that putting modern cities in the bottom of the ruleset, 
reflects the development of the particular civilization quite well. 
Ancient cities are founded in the beginning of the game and modern at a 
much late stage.

The naming can be done as suggested in earlier posts: "Greek" for the 
ancients and "Hellenic" for the modern. I still think this just adds up 
to nation bloat, but it's no big deal after all. One thing that's 
important, though, is to make sure that the Greeks and Hellenes won't 
be randomly selected to the same game! I'm still getting the occasional 
British vs. English games...
