@nuel_irl Nolan didn’t properly cover the reason why he sacrificed his daughter.

Artemis required him to sacrifice his daughter or the Greek armies would never be able to sail away.

She forced him to chooce between his daughter or the entire Greek alliance. Not just for “better winds”.

@alexunimportant @mat1_u @M4rlon1805 This is completely false. According to Dutch research.

So far 1.500 Syrians have gone back home from the Netherlands out of a total of +/-200.000.

70% of them say they want to stay under any condition.

@fw_kulture Achilles and Helen are both described as blonde by Homer and Sappho.

Go spread your historical illiteracy somewhere else.

[Δάφνη 🎀 🇬🇷🇳🇱 @orthodaph]

@batmanfan240 @bigbrownson Yes. Homer dedicates an entire book of The Iliad to Agamemnon’s Aristeia.

@elfumacigarros @MikeDiMat @bigbrownson Athena and Ares are half-siblings and both are gods of war.

@GreenAngelsss @DirtyDo22535668 @Gazz_54 You clearly didn’t read the poem. I did, in Greek.

Odysseus only lets Telemachus hang the 12 slaves who were disloyal, not the rest.

Odysseus also does not want to kill everyone. The families of the suitors want revenge, not Odysseus.

@UncleShepherd Quotes from the narrator, Nestor and Odysseus respectively.

[Δάφνη 🎀 🇬🇷🇳🇱 @orthodaph]

@UncleShepherd “Like blazing fire he ranged through the ranks, and none could withstand the son of Atreus.”

“No man can rival Agamemnon in honor. Zeus himself has bestowed upon him the scepter and the right to rule over many.”

“No man among the Achaeans is more kingly than Agamemnon.”

@visionfaded22 @Gazz_54 And hanging the female slaves who slept with the suitors.

@Sunny_Cherrim @GeorgianaB83826 @reyphobic 15% of Greece has blue or green eyes, and that is AFTER centuries Turkic admixture and modern mass-migration.

It would not be a wrong assumption that would be higher in Ancient Greek times. Homer’s physical descriptions fit that.

Achilles, Menelaos, Helen are said to be blonde

@SouthEuro @TheBeesSneez My Greek parents and grandparents have lived with the “Nordics” for 2 generations and those people respect and love us and our culture far more than any sub-saharan ever will.

If anyone should wake up it’s you.

@RomainHedouin @NXT4EU Any selection of European historic figures to put on bills without Charlemagne is immediately invalid.

There are more that I could name but without Charlemagne Europe literally would not exist.

@yuyur1n8_n109z @luca135790 @Steinmetz377 @joejoediamondw1 “She could not have been blonde and fair-skinned because Mediterranean”

Meanwhile Greek actresses:

[Δάφνη 🎀 🇬🇷🇳🇱 @orthodaph]

@yuyur1n8_n109z @luca135790 @Steinmetz377 @joejoediamondw1 She is also described as fair-skinned. The contrast between her and others who spend time outside is specifically made too.

You don’t know my country better than me. There are plenty of blonde Greeks.

[Δάφνη 🎀 🇬🇷🇳🇱 @orthodaph]

@luca135790 @Steinmetz377 @joejoediamondw1 Helen of Troy is described across Archaic Greece as blonde. Same goes for Achilles, Menelaus and many others. Don’t speak of countries and cultures you know nothing about.
