As the title suggests what is the Greek influence on Italian Y-dna, as known Italians and Greeks have a long shared relationship, as they set up many colonies in the South and formed what was known as Magna Graecia.

But it is not excluded to only Southern Italians, as Greeks set up a colony in Ancona, and had a presence in Liguria, plus there was a Greek quarter in Ancient Rome, with additional Byzantine history in Italy.
What were the main lineages brought from the Greeks to the Italians? Certain haplogroups such as E-V13, J2a-M319, J2b-Z638, and R1b-Z2103 to me show the Greek legacy. What other haplogroups/subclades could or potentially be Greek?
