[/qb][/QUOTE]Using the word "Libyan" doesn't mean anything. Greeks called the WHOLE of Africa Libya, and those populations which they did not know the name of, the simply referred to them as Ethiopians. If they knew the name of the polity then they called them by the name of the polity like Garma for example. They did the same in Europe by calling populations they were unfamiliar with, who were white by the name "Sycthian" these are catch all phrases. [/qb][/QUOTE]When reading the ancient literature use of the term "Scythian" may not always be associated with "white". The term Scythian was also applied to the Kushites in Eurasia. To the Greco-Romans Ethiopia and Scythia were not considered opposites of each other. [IMG]http://olmec98.net/iliad.jpg[/IMG] Homer was Xanthos: a Black Man. The leading characters in his books were Negro/Black men and women. [IMG]http://olmec98.net/parker2.gif[/IMG] Aeschylus describes Epaphos as "swarthy of hue" or dark skinned and that he originally lived in Africa. Agamemnon is in direct descent from Epaphos, the Black ancestor of the Pelasgic house. Aeschylus in Prometheus Bound, describes Epaphos as "swarthy of hue" and that he originally lived in Africa. The Pelasgians were the first settlers of Greecian region. There are many light skinned Africans who have never mixed with Europeans. Apollo is chrysaeros 'bearing a golden sword' Artemis is eustephanos which has no relation to fair Neptune is kyanochaites 'bluish or Blackish like dark deep waves of the ocean Achilles is xanthos 'brown' [IMG]http://olmec98.net/mycenai.jpg[/IMG] As a result, Homer is talking about different black or negro ethnicities, who were either light brown (xanthos) or dark brown (ethiop). Xanthos and Ethiop represent the idea of the two Kushites living in the south Ethiopia, and Asia, Scythia. The Greco-Romans, as noted in the writings of Rawlinson, recognized Scythia as Asian Kush, and the ‘Scythians' were recognized as Kushites. Chambers wrote: [b]“Ephorus ,too (405B.C.)seems to have had a great impression of the power of the Ethiopians, since he names in the east, the Indians—in the south the Ethiopians—in the west, the Celts—in the north, the Scythians, as the most mighty and numrous people of the known earth. Already in Strabo’s time, however, their ancient power had gone for an indefinite period, and the Negro states found themselves, after Meroe had ceased to be a religious capital …”[/b] [URL=http://books.google.com/books?id=L10MAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA66&dq=black+celts&hl=en&ei=gVdwTMHhN8qmnQe5zLHmBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEoQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q=black%20celts&f=false]http://books.google.com/books?id=L10MAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA66&dq=black+celts&hl=en&ei=gVdwTMHhN8qmnQe5zLHmBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEoQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q=black%20ce lts&f=false[/URL] [b]The Ephorus Map of the Ethiopian nations[/b] [IMG]http://olmec98.net/ephorusmap.png[/IMG] The Ephorus map, the Classical authors and writers familiar with the Classics like Rawlinson saw the people living in Scythia and Ethiopia (lands below Egypt) as nations founded by Kushites. This makes the premise of article under review as an example of extremes: Blacks in the South and Whites in the north unfounded. To the ancients this was just a fight between two Kushite (black) nations. The present author has been blinded by modern populations living in Europe today, as the representatives of the former xanthos (brown) population, instead of the Indo-european population which presently live in the modern countries the Greeks called: “Scythia” who consider themselves to be 'white'.. .
