Sorry buddy. Here again Black is associated with two known Black groups. Aristotle here even lists the Egyptians first in his description of Black. All you have to do is listen to the Greeks.I corrected your claim for you. He didnt say darker. He said Black. We know because he used the word melanchroes as at least 4 other Greeks did. Do you want me to post them again or are you going to disappear again if I do?Hey West. You disappeared like a fart in the wind when I posted all those famous Greeks saying the Egyptians were Black. What happened. I had to put out an APB on you!I have not seen any of that. They seem to be talkin equality all the way.
Just read this thread from the beginning.
No, they said they were darker than greeks. And I went to dinner, as I stated in my last post.
Reading for comprehension is your friend.
No, he said darker. The fact that your theologian can't decipher ancient Greek is his fault.

"Too black a hue marks the coward, as witness Egyptians and Ethiopians, and so does also too white a complexion, as you may see from women. So the hue that makes for courage must be intermediate between these extremes. A tawny colour indicates a bold spirit, as in lions; but too ruddy a hue marks a rogue, as in the case of the fox. A pale mottled hue signifies cowardice, for that is the colour one turns in terror. "
