What evidence do we have that the Philistines were Greek in origin? Does this mean they spoke a Greek Language?

Answer 1

the word Πελαστοι used to refer to the Philistines. This is an intriguing possibility, however, since there are

at present no examples of the Philistine language, it can not be proved.
