>>47120918This is not delusion. Black people are mention as early as the Odyssey. Memnon is mentioned as being the King of the Ethiopians and an equal to Achilles. Herodotos mentions black people in what would be modern day Sudan as the most beautiful and tallest people and he also mentions Ethiopian warriors being present in Xerxes army, who also stayed behind with Mardonius when the Great King returned to Asia with most of the army.
Aristotle also mentions the union between an Ethiopian and a Greek woman in the Greek region of Elis:
From Aristotle's On the Generation of Animals book 1 part 18:
>Further, children are like their more remote ancestors from whom nothing has come, for the resemblances recur at an interval of many generations, as in the case of the woman in Elis who had intercourse with the Aethiop; her daughter was not an Aethiop but the son of that daughter was.He mentions a similar union happening in Sicily, which had a major Greek presence. To put it bluntly it's very ignorant to ignore how inter-connected the Eastern Mediterranean was. No doubt Greece had it's fair share of foreign people including what we would consider black people today.
