From another source:
“In its early phase, the Bell Beaker culture paralleled the Corded Ware culture of Central Europe. Around 2400 BC, it began to expand eastwards into the Corded Ware horizon. The mature phase of the Bell Beaker culture is recognized for its complexity, involving characteristic artifacts, metalwork in copper and gold, long-distance exchange networks, archery, and specific ornamentation types. This phase also saw the emergence of social stratification and regional elites.”
Supposedly the ultimate source of Bell Beaker peeps was also the steppes.
Seems like a lotta folks hated being there and left...

And yet Greek is really far from the “mainstream” of Indo-European.
I know Latin, French and basic Italian and Spanish + English, German and pidgin Dutch + Polish and some understanding of Russian (SOME) as well as passable Farsi and Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi — its not as impressive as it sounds as I do see common strains in many of these - and there are words, grammatical sense etc. that seem to repeat.
Armenian was passable as it seemed Iranic to me
But when I tried to pick up modern Greek, it was all Greek to me. I could not detect linkages. Yes, granted, I’m not a linguist and far better men have found linkages, but I couldn’t.
Did Greek take on a different sub-strata (Pelasgian) or what?
