Is there anything Greeks won't complain about?
Daniel Hill
To be fair, Disney has never made an accurate portrayal of anything. The only difference between then and now is that the older films were made with love and care despite not being 100% accurate, whereas they in modern times shit on every culture they touch on purpose.

Ancient Greeks were blonde haired and blue eyed like me, they were our brothers. But not anymore

With older I mean the movies from the mid-1900s.
Pocahontas, Hercules, Aladdin, Mulan, The hunchback, etc and all those others from the same time are all modern in my viewpoint.

Well, before the modern times you say, they were adapting fairy tales, legends and books with variable quality. I mean Robin hood was a disgrace, they reused half of the animation from older projects.

Yes, but Disney oversaw the oldest ones and made very fitting depictions without being negative in his portrayal. Like I said, they were not 100% accurate, but they didn't purposefully politicize or alter them negatively like the Disney corporation did after Walt himself passed away. And they were/are still adapting fairy tales (The Little Mermaid as an example from the older modern ones and The Princess and the frog as one of their latest).

this lasted for like 80 years, what are you talking about you Turkic shit? are you having a hard time realizing you're slavisized and related to the rest of the Turkic people nowadays? and you even use the Cyrillic alphabet that came out of the Greek medieval alphabet, I would kill myself if I was you to be honest

In the Homeric epics, Menelaus the king of the Spartans is, together with some other Achaean leaders, portrayed as blond.[78] Other blond characters in the Homeric poems are Peleus, Achilles, Meleager, Agamede, and Rhadamanthys.[78] Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, was often described as golden-haired and portrayed with this color hair in art.[79] Aphrodite's master epithet in the Homeric epics is Χρυσεη (Khryseē), which means "golden".[80] The traces of hair color on Greek korai probably reflect the colors the artists saw in natural hair;[81] these colors include a broad diversity of shades of blond, red, and brown.
Sappho of Lesbos (c. 630-570 BC) wrote that purple-colored wraps as headdress were good enough, except if the hair was blonde: "...for the girl who has hair that is yellower than a torch [it is better to decorate it] with wreaths of flowers in bloom."[82] Sappho also praises Aphrodite for her golden hair.

The sculptor Pheidias depicted the Greek goddess of wisdom Athena's hair using gold in his famous statue of Athena Parthenos, which was displayed inside the Parthenon.
Historian and Egyptologist Joann Fletcher asserts that the Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great had blonde hair.
Heracles is often times portrayed as blonde haired.

Since its creation as a low class Egyptian refugee dumping ground, Greece has always been enslaved by other powerful Empires. The Romans, The Egyptians, The Anatolians, The Bulgarians, The Turks, The British, The Nazi, and now the Germans again. Has there even been a time where the Greeks haven't been enslaved by others? :D
Angel Foster
Do you have greek heritage, or is it just autism?
Chase Reed
Greeks called themselves "Romans" for the greatest period of the eastern Roman empire.
Anna Komnena said "by language we are Hellenes, by religion we are Christian, and our Empire is Roman"
Are you retarded or what you stupid ignorant Bulgarian? Why are you writing stuff that make no sense? Who are the Anatolians? They existed before various tribes in the Greek peninsula started calling themselves and their language Greek. Learn some basic stuff before you start an argument with a random guy on the internet, you just humiliate yourself and your country in the eyes of foreigners.

Hahaha. Cuck.

That's like enslaved Indians calling themselves British :D :D

Do you know anything about the Romans and the most common rumor for their origin? Obviously no, the Romans themselves claimed to be successors of the Trojan refugees that were defeated in the Trojan war and they moved on today's Italy. en.wikipedia.org

>rumors
>sourcing Wikipedia
Italy is actually a very ethnically diverse place, and Italians are not a single ethnic group, but a huge mix. The Romans were just one of the many ethnic enclaves living there, who managed to conquer and unite the entire country. Some DNA studies show that Thracians actually originate from Central Italy.
Brandon Rogers
I can't understand your point anyways about the modern Greeks and why do you spread bullshit all over the internet instead of doing something more constructive? Maybe you could focus on your country's problems and the huge issue with the Turkish and Gypsy minorities.
Leo Jackson
>I can't understand your point anyways about the modern Greeks
That's because you have low IQ inherited from your African genes.
All i did was to answer the OP's question in a fair and objective way.
We don't have issues with Turks, the issue with Gypsies is rather the fact that they are not participating in the labor market, but i don't blame them, i blame the government and the parties who take advantage of the Gypsies by promising them free stuff like child care, social benefits etc in exchange for their votes. They benefit from keeping the gypsies poor.
All i can do is vote for the Libertarian/Conservative party, which i do every time. I am pro-immigration myself.

Xd again ignorant people claiming modern Greeks having African, Asian or whatever gens. Jesus Christ dude, you got some serious hate inside you and you try to distribute online so you wouldn't affect your family and friends etc. I kinda understand this action but I don't justify it, you just make foreigners laugh at you reading all the nonsense you write. I've been trying to think of the Bulgarians as our best neighbors and partners nowadays but it seems like there are still stupid people that don't let the country to move on, it's fine, there are retarded people literally everywhere no matter the standards of living a country has.
Sebastian Bennett
a simple search on google will probably change your mind, go for something like "why did the Greeks call themselves Romans" or something similar.
Bentley Parker
>so you wouldn't affect your family and friends etc.
Ha, jokes on you. I don't have friends.
But yeah i agree, Bulgaria and Greece need to work together, especially since Turkey is now a dictatorship.
