Various Slavic tribes move into the devastated Balkans.
Much of the indigenous population of the Balkans, that of Greece included, relocate their settlements to higher, more secure regions or flee the peninsula altogether, especially to Calabria at the southern tip of Italy.
The Slavs bring a more stable culture and substantially slavicize the existing Roman social system.
They retain their own language.
