It's definitely a silly article, of course the Greeks didn't see themselves as "White", that's a modern concept. But that doesn't mean they saw the world as one

It's definitely a silly article, of course the Greeks didn't see themselves as "White", that's a modern concept. But that doesn't mean they saw the world as one big happy family of equals. They disdained almost everyone who wasn't Greek and had no problem at all with slavery.
They also probably knew more about the world than the average American today. Greece was a bustling center of trade and the Greek peoples had numerous colonies. Not to mention, as someone did, Alexander the Great that conquered basically the entire Ancient world.
