I pasted the wrong link, which is my mistake - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Greeks

And I'm not confusing you with OP, I'm explaining that North Africa was not bordered on the south by an impenetrable desert and that thinking only North African peoples were in Ancient Greece really mid-understands geography and proximity to Africa and the commonality of trade along the Nile. Going east, Ancient Buddhists started depicting Shakyamuni Budda as a human figure and not an empty space under a tree directly as the result of Greek philosophical exchange. Buddhist "missionaries" are accounted for in Athens and the Levant more than 2000 years ago.

Ancient Greece was a pretty cosmopolitan place for the ancient world.

I don't know about how many would have lived in Greece, but they're definitely in the tale of the Trojan War. There's a whole poem, Aethiopis, starring them. The original text is pretty much entirely lost, but we do have a Roman-era summary of it to give us the broad strokes. Aethiopians show up in other stuff too; Perseus fights a sea monster there, for example

Define "plenty".

The ancient Greeks didn't care about skin tone in the modern sense, so there isn't some racial census data like we have now.

They make trivial to find references to black people and depict them in the manner they depict themselves in art.
Because their division was not "Greek" and "black" but "Greek" and "not Greek", they simply didn't document it.
Aristotle describes the ideal skin tone as halfway between an Ethiopian and a woman.

Black people were quite literally unremarkable to them, so it's pretty easy to argue that an ancient Greek wouldn't find it odd to travel with a black person.

Yes, we have plenty of sources for colored cyclops during ancient greece.

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.

Like they literally exist in Greece today.

Ignorance isn’t a sin, but you’re not even trying.

Sorry, man, I thought this was about that film and the actors in it, and their ethnicity. my bad. didn't realize you were having a no context argument unrelated to this entire fucking thread.

And my complaint is that that is a stupid fucking child’s complaint.
