[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Come on guys, lets keep it in context. Africa is right next to Greece in the Mediterranean. We know for a fact that Africans were migrating from Africa to Europe from Greece and the Mediterranean for thousands of years. We see evidence in the Minoans, in the Etruscans and from the Greeks themselves in art, literature and culture. How often do we see "Aethiopia" in Greek literature? How often do we see Greek myths including figures from Libya, Aethiopia or Egypt? Who was Memnon? Black Africans are all over ancient Greek culture and some of their greatest historians openly claimed that much of their culture came from Africa. So none of this stuff should be a shock or really even that big of a deal. Note that two of the most beautiful women in Greek myth are Aethiopian women: Andromeda and Cassiopeia. Most Greek deities, just like most from other ancient cultures are archetypes. Hercules is the supreme archetype of the hunter gatherer society. Hence he can be African or European as they were both hunter gatherer societies for much of their history. Many folks are starting to get it but we who supposedly knew all along aren't.
