are Trojans considered Greek?

Nobody knows but chances are they were.

Greeks had hundreds of different tribes/kingdoms/states and they were ranked in order by their status.

For example for 1000+ years Macedonians were considered "peasants, barely Greek at all" and that motivated Alexanders father (Phillip) to build up the Macedonia into a first class Greek kingdom.

You have to remember Troy was already an Ancient Kingdom to the Ancient Greeks.

Troy were like the Baby Boomer Greeks and the Zoomer Greeks wanted to stomp them.

Greeks would dehumanize each other in their writings and people in modern day (Slavs, Turks, etc) try and play this off as if this means X or Y wasn't Greek.

There are literally Turks who think WE WUZ TROY when Troy (supposedly) which is retarded considering Turks did not even step a single foot into Anatolia until the 1100 AD. The story of Troy is dated around 1200BC, so thats a solid 2300 years before Turkic tribes even arrived in the area, yet modern Turks will try and claim.

Same way Slavs will claim Macedonia as Slavic and not Greek. So apparently Slavs (who didn't even exist in the area until 600-800AD) apparently had a time machine and went back to 700BC - 300BC and built up a Macedonian-Slavic empire 1000 years before they existed in the area and then disappeared off the map for 1000 years then reappeared again.

Slav & Turk logic ladies and gentlemen.

Imagine thinking that the movie "300" was in any way historically accurate.

Hahah my freaking sides, maximus queerus

There is nothing wrong with being pedo

>implying Romans were fucking butts before they were infected by the Gr**K virus around 200 BC

Sort of. Probably. As best we can tell.
The Ilion plain is geographically close to old Macedonia and Hittite records mention a king of "Wilusa" named "Alaksandus". Which made little sense in Luwian or Hittite, but does make sense as a garble of "Alexandros".
Also when the region next appears in literacy, it is Phrygian-speaking, which is a relative of Doric Greek (and of Old Armenian).

How are they greater than ramen noodles, user?

i don't really feel much of a connection to either

You are a fish in the water then.

>almost invented the internal combustion engine but became retarded and stopped caring about innovation
I think the winner is clear

the fish can never fly with the birds, they both live in their respective realms, isn't that sad?

I really love the roman aesthetic and they had quite impressive technology for their time.

Not that much of a history expert so just posting what I remember I read years ago.
Like they didn't really like homos irl just put all the gay soldiers in one place so the straight ones weren't pestered by them.
And that full body armor would have been something a very rich dude to wear not like with the Roman footsoldiers who got the gear regardless of income and social affiliation.

PROSTAGMA!

Reminder that greeks had an actual railroad.

>They had a primitive version of the steam engine for Christs sake!
And none of the metallurgy or fuel supply to make it useful for anything else. Replying to a 7 hour old post because it's fucking retarded.
