Ancient Greeks were not Europeans. Ancient Greeks were a combination of Levantine and Anatolian peoples. Modern Turks and Lebanese have more in common genetically to ancient Greeks than today's Europeans. The romanticizing of Greeks as European is plain Eurocentric revisionism.
- lvoudour 8y agoI'm sorry but this is an absurd comment. How do you define Europeans? North/western only? The continent's name is ancient Greek and, while the eastern borders may have changed, there is no point in time where the greek mainland was not considered part of it even in ancient times. And what the hell do genetics have to do with a geographic designation?
