The area of course existed, but it wasn't called Greece. The word 
"Greece" is thought to have originated in the term "Graes" from about 
Aristole's era and "Graecia" used by the Romans for the area and people 
there, but even then it wasn't a country as such, but a group of 
independent 'city states'. The word "Greeks" originated from the term 
"Gaikoi" somewhere around the 300AD.

The earliest people to live in the area are thought to be the 
Pelasgians, but little is known about them and they may even have been 
mythological stories created by other people in surrounding areas. So 
technically it would perhaps have been called something like "Pelasgia".
