North Africans did, right. But we’re talking about black Africans.
Tbh the whole thing depends on what the character is trying to portray. If it tries to portray everyday normal Ancient Greek, yeah that’s an issue. If it is meant to be someone from Ethiopia, something like that, yeah no issues.
Unless the trailer shows what they’re portraying (and imu the movie isn’t even out yet) then the complaints are premature.
Are they portraying someone from Ethiopia or just some regular fella from Ancient Greece? That makes all the difference. Like said, if the trailer doesn’t tell, it’s premature upset.
Nobody is debating existence of black people here lol
I don’t see where the article mentions that these are direct descendants of people who moved to Greece in ancient times? Both articles seem to talk about Greeks in these other countries…
Ah, my bad. So it’s possible for Greeks to have travelled All the way to Ethiopia in ancient times and have populations that survived to this day, but not the other way around? Interesting way of thinking.

Like Aethiopians that are literally in the Illiad? Maybe Homer was woke too. /s
There were some black people in the Mediterranean in ancient times. Egypt even had dynasties led by black people.
Europeans didn’t find about black people suddenly in the 14th century.

They portray a mythical creature. Take your meds.
What mythical creature is the black person portraying? I haven’t seen tg the trailer/movie
No need to get emotional
Like they literally exist in Greece today.

Ignorance isn’t a sin, but you’re not even trying.
Uhh we’re talking about Ancient Greece…
Did you read the articles? Guess not.
These small communities are direct descendants of the ones from ancient Greece.

Here you go then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avato
It’s just that you keep linking to stuff that doesn’t actually prove what you claim it does, while asking if I have read the articles…
Your newest link:
I don’t get what is the point of this conversation. You keep linking me stuff that doesn’t actually talk about the topic…
Ever heard of the term “genetic admixture” and population dispersion / cultural assimilation?
Let’s disregard Herodotus’ description of Colchians for now since it’s disputed.
Here is an example of an ethically African population living in present-day Eastern Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Abkhazians
Not to mention all the ethnic groups displaced during the population exchange during the Greco-Turkish war in the 1920s.
This conversation is so weird. We’re specifically talking about Ancient Greece and again and again you share stuff that isn’t about Ancient Greece?
