Although I don't generally like Hollywood productions, I am not particularly against neither Brad Pitt nor this guy. That's why I say "who cares". If you're not going for the documentary vibe, I don't mind if a story is historically inaccurate as long as the main gist of it is there and that depends on what they are going for, what attracts them to this story. This is not something that happened 30 years ago with known people, there are no friends and descendants of Achilles who could complain his true self is undermined by neither actors.

My point is not that this is not politically motivated. The point that is often missed is that casting Brad Pitt is also politcally motivated.

You can think of Achilles not as that one true person who did this and that, but a symbol of great strenght and so on. When people are to cast him they surely think "hmm who could inspire that feeling in people?" and both Brad Pitt at that time and this guy in this time seem to fit the bill according to the mindset of the audiences they are trying to approach. There is no "normal" approach there is no approach that is not politically motivated. The white heroes of 99.99% of all films and series prior to a few years are all equally stupid in that regard to this that is happening. Think of all the Fu Manchu stereotypes on screen, or all the films with black people emptying their ak-47s, they are just ridiculous and naive. This stupidity is a characteristic of Hollywood and other mass media stuff and this is just a new turn of events with new parameters, but the same logic.

Not that anon, but that doesn't matter much.

It's not like making a movie about Hitler and forgetting about the moustache. Or a movie about Don Quixote with a young actor in his twenties.

There are light haired and dark haired Hamlet interpretations, no one really complains about it either way. Jack Nicholson played McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, although in the book he is a ginger with a huge bandaid on his nose for the greater part of it. I wouldn't want them to dye his hair or cast another actor. It's not important at all and if you focus too much on that, you lose what you really want to say with the story.

Stop trying to be "accurate". There is no way that things are "meant to be represented". I'm not saying this solely to justify this casting, but to justify all castings. It's not that stories should be taken out of context, but any film in whatever way you make of it is itself a new context. The question is not how do we better reproduce the story as it was, but how do we reproduce the story for us today. It's a new story, always. Those who don't realize this are bound to tell a new story thinking they are telling the old one and the differences will be on their blind spot everytime, their ideology will show up the more neutral they try to be, making the new story more confusing in terms of priorities of effects you are trying to evoke.

I'm a red head and therefore more engaged in studying this and I can tell you that this whole narrative that red heads were more common or that they are going to disappear is a myth. Recessive genes don't work that way and while there might be differences in population over time, it's negligible. Those who say otherwise are just cherry picking examples of red heads in cultural representations and making their case upon it. I believe red heads were always more represented in culture than their actual number, because depending on the time and place they were seen as either divine people or demonic outcast retards. It's also a cheap way to make a character a bit more interesting, like adding an eye patch or something like that.

i find this terribly hard to believe considering their near constant depiction in works of little significance all over the Aegean, Macedonia, Anatolia and as far away as Persia.
>ancient Persians and Indians weren’t whyte
ok since i assume both of you aren’t nordicisist /pol/ niggers i can be vaguely open with you. when i say whyte i don’t really mean nordics or Germanics, which is the most anti-intellectual absurdity i’ve ever seen advanced in the study of physical anthropology and population genetics. i just mean pale skinned, progressive skull, higher intelligence and can have blue or green eyes, traits extremely rare away from eurasia.

when i say Aryans i mean black haired (and sometimes reddish-blonde baired), pale skinned, blue-green-grey eyed horse taming warriors from Pakistan, India, Iran, Anatolia, Assyria. Their cousins the Semites, Germanics and Slavs are caucasians and the Germanics and Nords seem to have retained significantly more of the Steppe genes than the Semites and Slavs who seem to have been sublafed into native farming pops which is why they’re less progressive looking, physically less robust, darker skinned etc.

Whyte is basically the caucasoid populations who kept the robustness and skull morphology, height and ferocity that the other caucasoids lost. Im aware that ancient Vedics would not have seen Nords as their relatives and that ancient greeks on the whole looked much closer to paler skinned native Greeks today than some curly haired Swiss athlete which is the type of meme’ing you get on rw forums. Germanics likely broke off from the IE migrations and also inbred heavily with European HG which is why their faces are so gaunt and sharp and why nords look like ayys compared to depictions of the ancients.

The anatolians and assyrians look like Aryan analogues to Semites, the Vedics look like gracile Aryans. Im not trying to steal history. I just do believe firmly that there was a huge loss of whyte phenos after the bronze age collapse. Even the phoenicians who were Semites looked extremely aryanized compared to ancient Jews, Babylonians, Arabs etc. Again, you don’t have to worry about nordicist meme’ing i don’t have a horse in this race at all.

Yeah, I know, but hear me out on this. Suppose we could talk with the ancient Greeks about it and I asked them how this story was meant to be told. They would clearly say it is meant to be told in that way. But then, what if we could ask them why that's the best way to tell the story. You'd see that's the way that the people of that time had to appreciate the story. It has to do with language, with how we spend our time, what is engaging for us.

Suppose I translate the story quite well and then proceed in present it in this way. Who of us today would not be bored of it? I myself would rather just read it. In that sense, isn't making a movie or a series more "accurate" to how the story was "meant to be represented"? In this case, it is not the method of storytelling that is reproduced in an accurate way, but the level of engagement to the experience.

Of course, some is lost in it, but that is true to any translation or reproduction of anything. To sit by the fire with other people and listen to some guy may have no counterpart today, but you'll see that if you actually reproduce this setting today, everyone would just be on their phones. And if you think that by not allowing phones in, you'd make it as it was, then you'd have a bunch of people anxious to go back to their phones. Because it is the people themselves that have changed along with the world.

would you mind explaining what you mean tho? the celts are a germanic tribe who would’ve entered europe from the north and poured down into iberia and gaul, crossed over into albion. they wouldn’t have passed through the asia minor like the anatolians and greek IE peoples. Im just not seeing how the Greeks were celts when they morphologically look completely disrinincr from Celts in nearly all of the Doric and Ionian depictions of their ancestors. I just checked wikipedia and also looked at their garbage prehistory of the Balkans there’s no mention of Celts at all. Just uncited insinuations about Dorians and the Kurgan hypothesis which is a tenuous theory in phys anth and isn’t entirely supported by pop genetics. by the time of Alexander and way before, the time of Homer, there is no evidence there was a significant presence of Celts in West Asia. I need you to do a little more leg work and convince me otherwise. I don’t believe that the Germanic tribes necessarily passed through that part of Eurasia and left significant genetic influence in those populations. It seems really unlikely to me that the groups we associate with the Celts and Germanics didn’t just head right through eastern europe, cross the danube and the rhine and then the english channel into Albion and down into Iberia and Gaul.

this place is so anti-intellectual. im not attacking either of you. i just want sources and well formulated arguments

my claims:

yes the ancient greeks and anatolians had significant numbers of people with blue eyed and light haired phenos

no they absolutely were not germanic or nordic, look at their phyisongomy and hair texture, their build relative to Scythians and Gauls and Germanics. they’re not the same race

yes Ancient Aryans were whyte; no they were not Nords or Germanics they’re groups which are tangentially related by being from the same giant range of caucasoids who left Africa and developed up in those higher lattitudes of the Caucasus

no the Celts probably didn’t leave significant traces in Greece and since they probably skipped over Greece since it logistically made no sense for a human migration to move in such a way, a different wave of IE people’s likely contributed those light haired and eyed phenos.

yes moderns are darker and swarthier from turkics and breeding out a lot of those traits

no it is not signficant enough to constitue racial replacement, just studing the oldest Mycenaen art shows us they were simply higher fitness, more robus versions of the moderns

I know, anon, I agree.

My point is that there is no way to be Homeric today, not even if you do it exactly like it was in the old times, because we are not in the old times.

I'm not saying we should make it theatrical, just that if you want to truly respect a piece (of literature or any other) that you want to reproduce, you ought to consider a bunch of other things besides how it was done in a particular time (not in spite of it, but along with it). We can negotiate those differences to reach a better performance of it, that means both casting choices as choices of format, language, and so on.

If you perform Shakespeare in English to an audience that doesn't speak English, then the play will be nonsense no matter how brilliant it is in the original. A translation might not be the same as how it was written, but it would do more justice.

If you were to do the same with negorids, assuming the Greek parents wouldn't rightfully drown the animals at first glance Greece would have quickly decayed into a raucous shithole just as every African nation did as soon as the guardianship of whites was taken away.

couple of things:

you’d have to dig into the articles on the Celts or the Celtic invasion of SE Europe to see that. the map shows Celts in Galatia and Thrace not the Aegean and this invasion happened and was completed between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. The Dorics invaded Greece and conquered the Pelasgian population probably 500 years prior to that. the Celts are described by nearly all modern scholars as deriving from central europe, probably between the Alps and the Danube, probably closely related to the Scythians and not passing through the the Middle East, across the Iranic plateau and originating in the Pontic Steppe, which is exactly where the Dorians came from which I don’t dispute even a little bit.

You’re getting angry because you can’t turn me around and you are attached to a particular narrative. I’ll ask you again, what evidence is there that the Dorians were celts and that the ancient anatolians and Iranians, Vedics are celts? I don’t see any at all. It seems like my ideas about this are more in line with population genetics and linguistics than yours are.

Those are the same Keltoi mentioned much earlier by the Greeks, since the Battle of Thermopylae is in the 4th C BC. That's not digging deep, that's history they teach to school children. You've also now reversed your position that the Celts were all further west and not to be found in the area in that time period, so I and everyone else following this chain knows you've got no background and are trying to make up history on the fly.

I'm not angry, you are too dumb to read a map when someone spoonfeds you a wikipedia article. Getting mad at you would be as worthwhile as getting mad at a block of wood.

Tacitus (Germania, 3) relates how the Greek heroes wandered to Germany and influenced German culture:

“They say that Hercules once stopped among them, and those who are about to enter a battle always sing his name before those of all other brave men. They also make use of songs, the recital of which (called the ‘barditus’ or ‘war cry’ by the Germans) inflames the spirits of the soldiers and foretells the fortune of the battle to come by its sound. They either instill terror, or shake with fear as the battle-line has sounded, and it sounds less like the sound of a voice than of manly ardor itself. A broken murmur and harshness of sound are also produced when their shields are lifted to their mouths, so that the voice can sound more fully and gravely by the reverberation.

Moreover, some speculate that Ulysses, driven on that long and fantastic journey to this Ocean, had himself come to the lands of Germany, and that Asciburgium, which was located on the bank of the Rhine and is inhabited even today, was founded and named by him. Nay, even more, they say that there was found in that same place an altar consecrated to Ulysses, which bears also the name of his father Laeertes; further, there are monuments and tombs bearing inscriptions in Greek letters which are still extant today on the borders of Germany and Raetia

The Greeks, the Ionians and Dorics are from fucking Anatolia and Iran, Pakistan and Northern India and southern Ukraine. they absolutely are not from central europe you massive cunt. The Celts had not left the fucking confines of the cell between the Rhine, the Alps, the Danube until Pythagoras had been dead for 300 years and the Trojan war had long, LONG ended. there is no physical way that Achilles or Pericles could have been Celtic when the Celts were inside the forests of central europe eating each other like animals. The Greeks are whyte but they are not Celtic or Germanic in any way. Northern italians are partially germanic, no one in their right mind disputes this.

Thermopylae why do you keep saying this? Thermonpylae was a battle that the Lacadaemonians had with the Persians which was insignificant in the grand scheme of the Greco-Persian wars you fucking bug nigger.

I’m done replying to you, you massive thieving, insecure white nigger cock sucker. stop trying to steal other races history.

at no point to the Greeks ever EVER identify Germanics or Celts or Gauls as being their close relatives because they’re entirely different branches of the IE migratory pattern. the whole gambit of nordicism is to mix up dates and to conflated different ethnicities which have nothing to do with one another besides being from the Pontic Steppe and Eurasia which includes all the Slavs, all the Semites, all the fucking MENA peoples, all Southern euros.

Absolute nonsense. Northern Africa and the Middle East was far more connected to the Greco-Roman world than Britain and yet they ended up as illiterate backward shitholes while Britain came to the the centre of global science and industry. And likewise while Europe was closer to Greece Africa had far more convenient access to Mesopotamia, Egypt and Ancient India through the Indian ocean and nile river systems.
Britain was in no way geographically convenient for the spread of knowledge on the basis of mere proximity, rather it was the active work of white men to spread and accept knowledge that made it actualized.

I'll also point out that why there's not an invasion before that is because even the Celts aren't mad enough to attack Macedon when they're slaughtering everywhere between Greece and India. The Lacedaemons and the Celts are the only people not getting invaded by Phillip/Alexander for the preceding period to the Celts invading Greece.

"A Greek coalition made up of Aetolians, Boeotians, Athenians, Phocians, and other Greeks north of Corinth took up quarters at the narrow pass of Thermopylae, on the east coast of central Greece. During the initial assault, Brennus' forces suffered heavy losses. Hence he decided to send a large force under Acichorius against Aetolia. The Aetolian detachment, as Brennus hoped, left Thermopylae to defend their homes. The Aetolians joined the defense en masse – the old and women joining the fight.[17] Realizing that the Gallic sword was dangerous only at close quarters, the Aetolians resorted to skirmishing tactics.[4] According to Pausanias, only half the number that had set out for Aetolia returned.[5]

Eventually, Brennus found a way around the pass at Thermopylae, but by then the Greeks had escaped by sea." this is the battle of Therompylae from 279 BCE not from the 4th century BCE (first lie)
>they'd already descended to invade Illyria
yes but they never conquered Macedonia until Alexander and his generals' heirs had all died already.
"The Celtic military pressure toward Greece in the southern Balkans reached its turning point in 281 BC. The collapse of Lysimachus' successor kingdom in Thrace opened the way for the migration.[4] The cause for this is explained by Pausanias as greed for loot,[5] by Justin as a result of overpopulation,[6] and by Memnon as the result of famine.[7] According to Pausanias, an initial probing raid led by Cambaules withdrew when they realized they were too few in numbers.[5] In 280 BC, a great army comprising about 85,000 warriors[8] left Pannonia, split into three divisions, and marched south in a great expedition[9][10] to Macedon and central Greece. Under the leadership of Cerethrius, 20,000 men moved against the Thracians and Triballi. Another division, led by Brennus[11] and Acichorius[12][13] moved against the Paionians, while the third division, headed by Bolgios, aimed for the Macedonians and Illyrians.[5]"
and previous to that they weren't able to secure Illyria, because Cassander kept them at bay, this was in 298 BCE
>Calm down, it's not that big a deal, and you're not right about that or the Illyrian thing either so you really don't want to treat it like a big deal
The Illyrian thing was fake and a complete misunderstanding of chronology, the Balkans and Macedonia were Celticized after the Greek Golden Age, the invasion of the Ionians and Dorians, the Trojan Wars, the Peloponnesian war and Alexander's Invasion of Asia.

>He's talking about the 4th Century BC invasions of Greece by the Celts.
that's not when the invasions of """"Greece""""" (Thrace, Macedonia and Galatia) happened at all it was in the 3rd century and their campaigns into Greece, the Aegean proper, were totally disastrous because they're fucking forest niggers.
"Most scholars deem the Greek campaign a disaster for the Celts.

Some of the survivors of the Greek campaign, led by Comontoris (one of Brennus' generals) settled in Thrace. In 277 BC, Antigonus II Gonatas defeated the Gauls at the Battle of Lysimachia and the survivors retreated, founding a short-lived city-state named Tyle.[21] Another group of Gauls, who split off from Brennus' army in 281 BC, were transported over to Asia Minor by Nicomedes I to help him defeat his brother and secure the throne of Bithynia. They eventually settled in the region that came to be named after them, Galatia. They were defeated by Antiochus I, and as a result, they were confined to barren highlands in the center of Anatolia.[22]"
The Greeks themselves, the people you're trying to write over also completely deny that they were ever defeated by the Celts.The Celts ruled in the Northern Balkans for a while sure, but it was never a total domination of the region and it was again well after Alexander and his Generals had died, they were able to Celticize some parts of the northern balkans. They did not Celticize Thrace and Macedon much less Greece itself
>By the next generation large areas have been Celticized.
no the Celticizing happened sporadically and did not involve Macedon or Greece, the two places he was targeting originally.
>That's the first time we ever hear of Illyria, when the Celts invade
source? that seems extremely implausible
>From then on, writers are pretty sure they probably are the same people because they look so much alike.
no they don't at all and you made this up. Greeks, Macedonians, Thracians and Celts don't look the same, they all have distinct phyisognomy that's shown in their art work and they're not described by historians as the same races. You're making things up again.
>I'll also point out that why there's not an invasion before that is because even the Celts aren't mad enough to attack Macedon when they're slaughtering everywhere between Greece and India
No they didn't do very well in Anatolia or Greece and they were crushed within 300 years of their little venture into the Balkans by other retard tribes. They basically steamrolled weaker forest niggers.
>The Lacedaemons and the Celts are the only people not getting invaded by Phillip/Alexander for the preceding period to the Celts invading Greece

I don't say the 279 BC battle is in the 4th Century BC, I'm talking about the 4th Century BC invasions of Greece (the Illyrian ones). The Battle at Thermopylae is the end of their successful invasions into Greece, when like what often happens at Thermopylae, the navy matters. >>10433567
>>they'd already descended to invade Illyria

Which is why he is telling you they are in Greece invading Illyria in the 4th Century BC, and why I am telling you that the reason there is not an invasion prior is because the Celts are not that mad.

Again. Read what you're responding to before flipping out and deciding quoting things from wikipedia which support what I've tried to clarify for you are relevant. Did you not reach the paragraph of my post which I dedicated specifically to Macedonian expansion under Alexander and Phillip?

basically you and him, and I you both talk like retards from yurope, lied repeatedly. Thrace was never really completely celticized and the abosrption of Celtic dna happened in the 3rd century and probably was not significant. Macedon could hardly be said to have been celticized. And then the body of Greece itself was not Celticized. They had a genetic presence for sure in the Northern Balkans where they genocided the Pannonians and they also seem to have penetrated into Anatolia, well after the Hittites were on their way out. The genetic signature they left in both of these places is not significant.

Plus the chronology is ass backwards. Golden Age of Greece was already over, Alexander and Philip and their idiot Generals' sons were all dead or dying off from infighting and incompetence. Greece itself wasn't in the state that it'd need to have been in for them to have been the Greek ancestor race. This is a Greece about to become Ptolemaic Greece and they most certainly were not Celts or Gauls or Germanics of any variety.

You just sort of made a bunch of stuff up, the dates are wrong, the claims are not backed up by evidence, you're using weird red herring tactics to draw attention away from the core premises of the "argument" its just fucking ridiculous. No one's claiming there couldn't have been blondes or redheads in Greece, there certainly were in Anatolia and in Iran well removed from this period in history. Its just not evidence of Germanics or Nords, thinking that it entails that is a sign of poor logical reasoning skills.

Greeks were whyte but not nords, that's it. There is nothing else to argue about. The Dorians came from Thrace and wrapped around the Black Sea. The Ionians probably did too and they probably also crossed over from Anatolia, considering how much they look alike its not implausible. There were many large tribal coalitions and migratory groups of IE people's it just doesn't mean what you or other people want it to. There's nothing else to say. You lied a bunch, the others did too and you're trying to erase a whole race's legacy to boost the poor, rather shameful conditions that the Gauls and Celts and Germanics existed in for a long time before the Romans and Christians happened on the scene.

The TL is still fucked, they never conquered Macedonia or Greece my friend. They may have left some presence there, but they did not actually take Greece or Macedonia at all. They fought at Thermopylae as allies, but that's not the same thing as defeating Greeks. It seems like they just played power politics from the Northern Balkans and intermixed with the Macedonians. Alexander himself wasn't a Celt and his father wasn't the Spartans and Athenians, the Thebans and Corinthians weren't either. What is the point you're trying to make? He was trying to say Alexander was a Celt and that the Greeks were Celts. You're pivoting away from the premises of his argument now completely. So, assuming they left a significant presence in the northern Balkans and had enough of a presence in northern Macedon to leave some genetic lineage, what exactly is this supposed to prove? that they weren't a homogenous population? It doesn't mean that Achilles, Pericles, Solon, Dionysius, Philip and Alexander were Celts at all. Not even a little bit. His family hated the Celts and the Persians and rebuked peace with them repeatedly. So, what's the point being made here? They didn't conquer Macedon while Philip II or Alexander were on the throne, they never conquered Sparta or Athens, Thebes or Corinth. So who fucking cares?

>whence all the greek scholarship/myths on illyria giving birth to all races/the celts/other "obvious why" reasons the greeks gave to them being celts or celts being secretly illyrians

Like the idea of "white" the idea of Illyria progressed from invaded by the Celts, when they first get mentioned, to giving birth to the Celts by the time the Greeks knew more about both of them. I'm using the first mention of Illyria ITT here >>10431771 as the start of what you think is an argument with one anon. He says you still find people in that region who have red hair, who are not Caucasoid. I assume he means Illyrians.

I came in to say I think he's talking about the Illyria/Celt confusion timeline, and that not just one big battle happens at Thermopylae. Here >>10433321

I think you've mistaken anons saying the Celts have been to Greece, near Alexander, and near Illyrians and all these things are redheads for anons saying
>and that's why Greeks were totally right for racially linking those things
I think anon's saying that's why thinking Illyrians are Caucasians or Celts based off their hair is dumb. It's probably not unique to any of them and the confusion of the Illyrians with the Celts, or conflating Alexander's hair with spitfire personalities, is probably not a reliable genetic system.

>that they
so the Macedonians or the Greeks or both?

The Greeks were never conquered by the Celts so that wouldn’t be possible and it also would make no sense in the context of the original post where that poster was referring to blondes and redheads in greece in reference to Hercules, Achilles, Perseus, the Spartans an the Athenians. So they actually did claim that and its completely false. then they tried claimin “Alexander might share blood with them” but that’s not true his dynasty didn’t interbreed with them and he and his father despised them and put them to the sword multiple times to keep them out of Greece.

So what you’ve established is that the northern balkans experienced periods of celitcization. Illyria and Thrace probably absorbed some of those genes but they definitely weren’t Celtic during the Golden Era at its height and Plato, Solon, Pericles etc certainly wouldn’t have been celts at all.

Then, Troy, the subject of this thread, that war was so far back the Celts would’ve had no presence in the region at all. So, circling back:

the poster in reference to the original post about those phenotypes disappearing made mention of the Celts and Alexander sharing blood with them. He didn’t and then when pressed about it especially in regards to the Dorians and Ionians who arrived about 600-800 years prior, they tried to insinuate they too were germanics.

Then they pivoted back to the Illyrians to try to push for the idea that the macedonians and specifically and especially Philip II and Alexander the Great would’ve been celts, so they could say they were Germanic. but, that’s impossible because Philip’s parents were Greeks, they were Macedonians not Celts. Finally, there was the general sense that they thought they could argue that greece and macedon were germanic-celtic from the period of the Dorians but this is totally fucked and now you’re backing off that claim.

You’re now going back to just sort of hoping you can get away with saying “they” (notice the vaguery, so i have to ask you to clarify if they is illyrians, macedonians, philip’s dynasty, the greeks as a race or the Dorians/Ionians specifically) probably shared blood with the Celts.

But, as established only the Illyrians and Thraciand really received a large dose of that blood and the important dynasties of Macedon were pure Greek and really did not apprecite the Celts at all.

So, who had what blood and how did they share it with celts? and further still, if the Mycenaens and Ionians were absolutely not Celtic and the Celts were invaders who never took Boetia, Corinth, Athens, Sparta, why should I care at all?

Greeks were not germanic in origin or in blood. incursions in Macedon were crushed over and over and their presence in Illyria, a frontier nation which wasn’t Greek anyways (and were considered barbarians) it wouldn’t even make sense to bring it up. they were just barbarians who influenced Greek politics

no that's wrong and not what my original post said, I said that the Greeks and Macedonians had red and blonde haired phenos in their midst which is why Achilles and Perseus and others are described as very white in appearance w/everything that entails. They then said:
'its not that they were bred out with time, its that the Celts moved" so either they are suggesting:
a)something that has nothing to do with the Mycenaeans and Greeks and we think of them and is completely fucking irrelevant to the discussion
OR
b)the greeks were celts, that's where the phenotype comes from, they moved and so that pheno left Greece
which is absurd and already been dealt with. So which is it? you're muddying the waters now. Stick to what I said and what they meant and look at them whining about the dorics afterwards, its obvious that b) and not a) is what they intended

>writers say they are the same people
if by Greece you mean Thrace, northern Macedon and Illyria then I guess? But, two of those three areas aren't Greece and Macedon was never conquered and Philip's dynasty crushed them and they stayed the fuck away from Alexander. The Celts were still attacking Illyrians during Alexander's conquests. and then you and them both said Alexander probably shared blood with them which is just wrong, and you tried connecting it to Athens too and that's wrong too. They tried connecting with the Dorians and that's wrong also.
>He says you still find people in that region who have red hair, who are not Caucasoid. I assume he means Illyrians.
the Illyrians weren't caucasoids? First of all, what has this to do with the argument? second of all are you fucking retarded? Caucasoids had long since settled the Mediterranean, those were probably Caucasoids they slaughtered. Just a different tribe of primitives.
>I think you've mistaken anons saying the Celts have been to Greece, near Alexander, and near Illyrians and all these things are redheads for anons saying
>and that's why Greeks were totally right for racially linking those things
Wait what? the Greeks never racially linked those things at all. who racially linked them together? Me? I never suggested the Celts had anything to do with that shit. I said that the Greeks and Macedonians were absolutely whytes and that they themselves contained the blonde and blue eyed, redhead phenos, which are recessive and died out. Most of them did not have that at all tho.

Why insert the Celts, why insert the Illyrians if you're just upset that I claimed Alexander had blonde hair and that the Mycenaeans did too? What a fucking bunch of trickery. Especially by trying to suggest the Dorians were Celtic and that the Celts conquered Greece well before the Golden Age and were one and the same as the Dorians. That's so fucking dishonest and stupid.

But, not Alexander or Philip II and not any of the famous Greek kings. So what's the point of all this. You're all just running in circles. The last 3 replies you've given are short and say the same thing over and over. Illyrians, Celts, "oh hey they were probably mixed into the Macedonians and also forget what was said about the Greeks as a race, also a bunch of nonsense about hair color" the Greeks didn't get any admixture from them and their perception of hair and eye color goes back to Crete and the Minoans well before all of this. Colored Greek statuse show Kore with red hair and blue eyes. There was a red haired group in Greece, they died out or their pheno was just taken over by the dominant dark eyes and hair. I don't even know how to express how fucking aggravating this kind of snake behavior is. You know exactly what you're driving at the both of you

It's not wrong, the idea of Illyria did progress from being invaded by the Celts to giving birth to them. There's a lot of poems about a female Illyria giving birth to (amongst others) Celtus, her son. What you've said in response does not refer to that being wrong or at all.

No, by "bookending their invasions into Greece", I meant between their invasions into Illyria and the battle at Thermopylae is the time span being indicated. I should have qualified successful, since they do go on to get cursed at Delphi and other failures but that's afterwards.

>>10433804

Yes, they did. It moves from assuming they're related, to Illyria causing them. Polyphemus and Galatea give birth to Illyria (from which we get Illyrians), Celtus (the Celts), and Galas (the Gauls).

There's plenty of evidence of the Illyrians (even before that), but the first time they get mentioned by the Greeks is the 4th Century. As I've been saying forever.
I assume by not real people you mean that in the myth the Greeks made up about races, there's a cyclops. That happens with a lot of Greek races, and I'm talking about how their myths and racial classifications changed over time. The Spartan requirement for you to descend from Heracles to be a citizen never really got tested scientifically by the Spartans either.

the ancient Greeks were absolutely whyte you idiot, did you not see the arguments in this thread? there was a whole substrate of them with red hair and blue eyes. they were whyte. just not nords or germanics. whytes are pale skinned caucasoids with progressive physiognomy and usually from the R1A or R1B haplogroups. That’s all evidence we’ve found about them. they weren’t africans at all. They came from the Black Sea and Anatolia. The Ionians crossed over from Anatolia and the Dorians probably came down from Thrace and across from Anatolia. they weren’t from africa. The Carthagians were Semites, also caucasoids and they too wouldn’t have at all looked liked Sub-saharans. So between the Greeks, the Carthagians and the Phoenicians and Anatolians there are zero sub-saharan taxa. Fuck off you pernicious racist faggot. You know EXACTLY what you are doing. The whole point of casting Achilles as black and Paris as black is to blur the lines between the ethnic groups and to insinuate: Egypt was black, Libyans were black, Minoans WUZ blaq, Mycenaens WUZ blaq and written ova by da whitey, and that the Meds are a nig race

Imagine trying to argue that a fictional character must only be played by an Anglo Saxon actor, because that's what you think Greek references to Achilles hair colour meant. It'd be hair to explain why when Romans came across blonde Angles they thought they were like nothing else in the whole empire, I'm sure Homer would have recognised what you're arguing for- being blind as if you trust that history.
>>10434921
>>Achilles wasn't fucking real
It makes it hard to be the first real Angle in Greece when you're not even real. It makes it double hard when the Greeks didn't say he was AngloSaxon, and instead say he's ginger.
But what would the Greeks know, they only wrote that shit down, you, the movie going audience must know they were just wrong about Achilles and really really meant that he was an Anglo blond. Truly preserving the fiction as intended.
Now all we need to do is get them to understand that Troy was actually in Basingstoke, and the epic will be properly honoured.

It's hilarious people want him to be played by a race that didn't even exist at the time, in the Greek known world. Are you all planning on getting them to put a Circassi ginger in the show as the actor? No of fucking course not, because you're ignorant tits who think that the Greeks just got it wrong and meant to say blond like an Anglo. I'm thinking the Greeks didn't get Achilles wrong, and you're butthurt that the show is getting him about as wrong as casting an Anglo would be. Though the Greeks had actually met black people and gingers, the AngloSaxons you want to go in the role didn't exist at fucking all for them. Would you bitch if there was a fully AngloSaxon White Protestant cast? No, of course you wouldn't. You're the kind of racists that prove AngloSaxons subnormal to the Greeks.

They need to get a Circassi, bro, I feel you on that for accuracy, but there's never been any accurate portrayal ever. Swiss isn't realistic, he's probably one of the Med races with red hair not one of the northern ones, and certainly not AngloSaxon. The problem is they're not going to do that ever. They're also not going to air it in Ancient Greek.

Complaining about who's black being inaccurate though only has legs if you say Eurybates should be black. Because he is black in the text, and blacks were known to Greeks and Meds at the time, while Anglo blonds were not. Swiss or Anglo is more absurd distance than Ethiopian blacks because there's not trade route to those people til much later but the Ethiopians and other blacks had been trading with them forever.

fucking read the Iliad and Odyssey, Eurybates the herald is black, with hair like sheep's wool and melanin-enriched. Odysseus literally describes him as melanin-enriched if you thought that's just /pol/ coming up with new words.
Read the fucking book, you doublenigger.

no its not at all because the distance from Greece to Switzerland is about equal but the genetic distance between Caucasianized (they’re literally the Whytest africans) Africans and Swiss-Italics to Ionian and Doric greeks is not the same.
>Eurybates should be a kang
i agree I hate any depiction of this kind of work that’s not accurate they should have gotten a brunette for Odysseus whose hair was dyed blonde and turns brunette, they should have gotten a black Eurybates whose Tigre and they should have gotten a Greek or at least South-Central blonde Euro to play Achilles. the person they put as Achilles is a sub-saharan congoloid and it looks fucking absurd.
>>10435271
>the greeks had niggers
lol stop using that word to disarm me, you’re advocating for a congoloid playin a whyte blonde blue-eyed hero, an icon of the whyte race.
>>10435281
the Greeks didn’t treat the nogs like the Egyptians did because they barely had to deal with them. the Egyptians absolutely despised niggers whereas the Greeks much like the Nords saw them as odditties and didn’t hate them. the Ethiopids of Mycenaen Greece would’ve had heavily caucasoid physiognomy with smooth black radiant skin and whytish negro hair. They’re the whytest of all the nog races. But, they absolutely should nt be used as a post-hoc reason to depict Achilles as a congoloid (which is a different race of blaqs entirely from ethiopids and are significantly more distant genetically than Ethiopids) it looks fucking absurd and we all know why they did it and that it was specifically targetted at dumb liberals who try to make excuses for this behavior going forward.

You should really tell the historians and geneticists that they need to stop finding niggers and start finding more Swiss if you want anyone to believe you. The Swiss were highly fucking inbred and isolated by the Alps even into the last fucking century you utter moron. They used be where you went to study inbreeding distinct from other Euro populations, until scientists realized Finns were more inbred. They are not the whites of Africa or Greece, or even fucking France or Germany.
>>10435304
>you’re advocating for a congoloid playin a whyte blonde blue-eyed hero,
No, I'm saying that you're advocating for races the Greeks had never and could never meet because they're far too recent and distant and unnamed in the Greek codices to be known to the Greeks. Achilles is probably a ginger, and there's plenty of Med races, including the Semites, who have gingers. Placing a Swiss or Anglo in the role as bad as placing an Abo from Australia in the role: they didn't know about those, but the Greeks did know about gingers and niggers and that's why the gingers and niggers in the story are not Swiss or Australian, but fucking Anatolian and African.

I'm not the anon you're talking to about barely having to deal with niggers, but you're wrong there too. Their trade routes to the east are mostly managed by the Ethiopians, and they have to sail past an entire fucking empire of niggers to get a lot of oriental goods.

I did, and just as a negroid traits are mentioned so are actual nordic ones, the latter explicitly for Achilles, and even then no ones clamoring for him to be played by a blonde haired white guy, which would be infinitely more accurate than a negroid.

You're shit at eugenics even by Nazimemer standards. He's ginger, but that doesn't mean that he's Nordic. If he were Nordic that would be a way more interesting story than the Iliad. As it was, and is, though, redheads aren't rare round Anatolia or even in Greece. Circassians, Jews, Illyrians and lots of others from the area have red hair and it does not stop them getting denounced by Nord fanciers.
>>10435354
>Have you ever been to Greece? Ever met a Greek person in your life?
Yes I have and they all thought my red haired companion was from Israel. Apparently Greeks can't tell Nordic from Jew.
And Anglos were such alien beings that the wig trade in Rome specifically bought them as slaves for their rarity. The first joke we have recorded in Britain by the Romans is the Pope saying they look nothing like people called Angles but look like angels, because their colouring was otherworldly.

This is probably why you're not a casting director, when you can't find people of that type within four races worth of people. If you're complaining about how /fit/ they need to be, there's no fucking modern actor who could perform any of the Greek warfare, because nobody trains hard enough. They've tried to recreate Attic rowing with Olympic athletes in fair weather conditions and they just about managed to not capsize. The Attic navy used do that at speed in any conditions, while under napalm attack. If you want an actor who can do that or anything else comparable to the even more mythically adept at warfare Achilles, well, good luck with that invincibility potion, I guess?
>>10435361
>>completely skips over the fact that the actor is a Sub-Saharan african congoloid and not a caucasoidal, Ethiopid
Ethiopians are not from the Caucasoid race, and you're a retarded nigger who thinks niggers must all come from the Congo. You should go back. You know you'd bitch if they put an Ethiopian in the role just as much.
>obfuscating
It's not obfuscating. I clearly said Eurybates is described as wooly haired, and Eurybates is not another name for Achilles. You seem to have confused the two, which is not my obfuscation, it's your brain not working.

>>the Greeks trade routes were “managed by Ethiopids”
