A focused population profile of Greeks from Phocis, their central Greek background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Greeks from Phocis come from central Greece, around Delphi, Amfissa, Mount Parnassus, and the Corinthian Gulf. Phocis has ancient Greek, Byzantine, Ottoman, mountain village, and central Greek regional layers.
Greek is the main language. Phocis should be read as a central Greek mainland profile, bridging Euboea, Epirus, Achaea, Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia, Corfu, and Argolis in the closest-match table.
As a genetic reference, Greek Central Greece Phocis is useful for comparison with Euboea South, Euboea Chalcis South, Epirus, Achaea, Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia, Euboea Psachna, Corfu, and Argolis.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Greek Central Greece Phocis is closest to Greek Euboea South, Greek Euboea Chalcis South, Greek Epirus, Greek Peloponnese Achaea, Greek Attica, Greek Central Greece Boeotia, Greek Peloponnese Corinthia, Greek Euboea Psachna, Greek Heptanese Corfu, and Greek Peloponnese Argolis. The result places Phocis in a central Greek and Peloponnesian-adjacent cluster.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Phocian Greek is best interpreted as a central mainland Greek profile, close to Euboea, Epirus, Achaea, Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia, Corfu, and Argolis.
The heatmap should emphasize Phocis, Delphi, Euboea, Epirus, Achaea, Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia, Corfu, and Argolis.
Yes. Phocis sits close to Euboea, Epirus, Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia, and Achaea.
Yes. Euboea South and Euboea Chalcis South are the two closest matches.
Achaea, Corinthia, and Argolis appear close because central Greece and the northern/eastern Peloponnese overlap in G25 space.
