@HeraldOfRome An Italo-Greek co-production should remedy the mistake

@Tom_Rowsell @mussoliniYES It wouldn’t come off the way you imagine, because you’re talking to a people who have made numerous contributions to the world in virtually every field since ancient times & through the Industrial Revolution as well—not to one of your former third world colonies, you dimwit.

@BenAntRaho @avidseries We don't say that because of looks.

@HeraldOfRome @dr_duchesne Yeah, I know. But Pylos is not in the Argolid. I was asking whether any analyzed samples come from elite burials in the Argolid. It seems there are none.

[Nicola @_a_njik]

@HeraldOfRome @dr_duchesne But it's only three samples, right? And without grave goods. I was thinking about elite/royal graves

[Nicola @_a_njik]

@HeraldOfRome @dr_duchesne Do none of the analyzed individuals come from the Argolid region, the heart of the Mycenaean world & the seat of its most powerful kings?

@iosif_lazaridis heroism and incorporates aspects of society & customs from later periods. Greeks were not homogeneous, so the cultural features depicted in the Iliad may not, in fact, represent the exact lived reality of the individuals you sampled.

@iosif_lazaridis The type of heroic ethos described by Homer (which I think is what he is referencing) is not unique to Greece, but is found across steppe-derived cultures. The Iliad was composed centuries after the Mycenaeans and is not a historical account. It reflects literary ideals of

@mazzettam2 @Jo_Condor @GiorgiaMeloni Nessuno dei casi citati è paragonabile a quanto accaduto a Lione: nessun attivista di sinistra, "qualche mese fa", è stato ucciso brutalmente da una gruppo di giovani di opposta ideologia.
Ipotesi confermata: mente decerebrata. *Click*.

@mazzettam2 @Jo_Condor @GiorgiaMeloni È accaduto nella tua mente decerebrata o hai delle fonti? Condividile

[Nicola @_a_njik]

@iosif_lazaridis What if we substitute "random person" with, say, "full sibling"? Would a parent always be more genetically similar to their mixed-race child than to their full sibling (as would certainly be the case if the child were same-race)?

@ThatchEffendi "bodies we admire", he writes, a remark no Roman author makes about any other barbarian people.

@ThatchEffendi of peoples to their north, whom they otherwise regarded as 'uncivilised'. On top of that, on a purely aesthetic level, it is clear that they generally did not appreciate brown people. In the Germania, Tacitus praises Germans' physical appearance:
