My father was Sarmatian Greek. As Greek as any Greek, part of the Greek empire for what, a millennia? Lived in Greece their whole life and immigrated to the US through Bulgaria.
They are middle eastern. Greeks. They have sandy pale white skin, and dark middle eastern hair. My dad was the whitest person in every room he was in, but had an afro in high school.
And he's as Greek as any Greek.
That's why the internet sounds like morons in this conversation. They don't know what Greek means.
Well no shit, but greek gods were obviously modeled after greek people, or vise versa. Christianity has the same believe.
Mythology isn't outright fiction, she's supposed to be a person of her time and native folklore isn't going to suddenly have characters from across the equator, at least not without it being an integral part of the story

They don't look like one thing.
