[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by cassiterides: [qb] This is what the Greeks thought of "White Skin" ======== Back to reality Mike: Plato, Republic, 474e (380 BC): “The swarthy are of manly aspect, [b]the white are the children of the Gods divinely fair[/b] and as for honey-hued, do you suppose the very word is anything but the euphemistic invention of some lover who can feel no distaste for sallowness when it accompanies the blooming time of youth”. - Plato linked white skin to the Gods. This was because virtually all the ancient Greek Gods were pale white in complexion (excluding the Pelasgian deities). [/qb][/QUOTE]I have checked three (3) on-line translations of Plato's Republic and have NOT found that particular quote. Please explain. [/QB][/QUOTE]
