If the well-attested red hair of the Spartans is true, which it likely is, then some form of R1b is likely. Can’t figure out more than that.
 
We don't know therefore every statement is just an opinion but I would say no.

Most L51 in Greece can be medieval.

Accepted only as academic proposal.

Doupt,

R1b might not even existed in Myceneans.
 
If R1b-L51 was born of Yamnaya, it should not be more common in Eastern Europe and the Balkans? Maybe it's not because R1b-L51 was born in Western Europe and more likely in Italy?
