@Krygon_ Not my favorite suit but better then the suit in TDK by miles

@abiyisakiller @HomerPavlos Just in last few years they made an entire documentary about how Cleopatra was actually a black woman and when Greeks complained people like you had the same response. I don’t think we will agree on this so I’ll just leave this and be on my way.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@abiyisakiller @HomerPavlos By removing the Greeks from their own stories you’ve effectively appropriated their culture and when they complain about it, you shame them.

@abiyisakiller @HomerPavlos “We stole your stories and removed you from them, how embarrassing of you to not like it”

@NoMavericks I have photographs of my great grandfather with his father, meaning my son can see a picture of his great-great-great grandfather.

@abiyisakiller @HomerPavlos Maybe people shouldn’t be milking their cultural heritage for cash if they aren’t going to respect the source material.

@Suspiria451 @HomerPavlos I mean they really don’t look that much alike but nice try.

Neither girl really screams “eternal Goddess of wisdom and war”

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@abiyisakiller @HomerPavlos It’s offensive to Greek people who these stories and myths belong to.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@Suspiria451 @HomerPavlos Yes she would. She looks like a Polynesian.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@FrenchComrade @HomerPavlos Yet the people who believed in him always depict him as a Greek man.

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie And funnily enough, the Roman’s never depicted Jupiter as black either. Lol

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie Jupiter is not Zeus renamed. That’s a historical misconception. Maybe you should read more. Jupiter was original just a sky god, not the king of a pantheon of Olympians. It took centuries for the Romans to associate their own Gods with the gods of the Greeks. They weren’t copies.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie No. They aren’t real. They imaginary constructs created by specific people and cultures. They appear as the people who believe in them want them to appear. Not how you do. You don’t worship at the temple of Athena in Athens. You don’t sacrifice to Huitzilopochtli.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie Idk why you want to bring up Jesus but I hate to break it to you, you’ll never find a biblical description of Jesus’ hair texture. He’s only described in revaluations as a spirit who appears with glowing skin and white hair.
He’s not a physical body he’s glowing energy. lol

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie By this logic anyone’s Gods can look like anything to anyone at anytime and nothing actually means anything. It’s a reductive and silly way to view the world and strips cultures of their uniqueness. Odin wasn’t Greek, Zeus wasn’t black, and Huitzilopochtli wasn’t Japanese.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie You are only arguing this point because you WANT Zeus to be black. The Greeks did not think we was black. He was Greek. He was their god, they actually worshiped him, they thought he was real. So they made statues of what they thought he looked like. It’s pretty simple actually.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@EliseStGeorge @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie Actually it is. He was a Greek god; he was invented by the Greeks. They made statues and mosaics and paintings of him as a Greek man. It was a Greek religion.
You wouldn’t expect the yoruba to depict Olodumare as a Chinese man, or the Aztec Gods to look English.

@waximij @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie In the Iliad, the Trojans hire Ethiopian mercenaries to fight for them against the Greeks. Yes they had contact with these people; but they were viewed as foreigners. Not Greeks.
The Greeks couldn’t even get along with each other, they were not an open society.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@waximij @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie If “race” didn’t exist; why did the Greeks feel the need to call people from south of the Sahara “Ethiopian”?
Clearly they are making a distinction between themselves and the dark skinned peoples they came into contact with. Greece was not multi-racial.

[Fox @VulpusInvictus]

@waximij @Zencapital2 @TheMiddleborne @EthMajingenie She was a Spartan. Not Nigerian.
