in fact the Hellenic 'race' was itself sub-divided
Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians, Achaeans, Macedonians, Epirotes, etc
Nobody knew what they were talking their as*es off before the industrial era and the British colonializing a third of the world.
I can't remember which Greek said this, but he defined being Hellenic as a four-part commonality
same blood, same language, same cult (religion), same customs / mores
What you mean by race is just the opinion of a tiny tiny minority within the British colonial government which had the resources to enforce it on anyone else.
this has the intriguing possibility that someone born foreign who speaks Greek, worshipped Greek gods, and obeyed Greek customs was more of a Hellene than someone born Greek who neither spoke the language, worshipped the gods, or obeyed the customs
Blood for the blood god! Memes for the meme channel!
although the assessment does not provide the importance of each factor so assuming it to be 25:25:25:25 could be a mistake
Alexander I of Macedon had to prove he was Greek to gain entry to the Olympic games
Ah meeeemes!
Heil, Merkel! @The Wizard Advanzee
let the memes flow
by the Hellenistic era I'm confused though because some sources say that the Hellenic identity lost a blood-based definition, whilst others assert a Hellenic racial caste above that of the natives they ruled over *explicitly* defined by their Hellenic heritage
And despite it all people actually have so many ways to come together that blood hardly makes any more sense than religion, political ideology, trade and economy, common place of residence or any other factor to count in.
Ultimately societies are build upon what people **choose** to believe they should be build upon, rather than any common factor outweighten all the other cause it *ought* to do it!
And there is where all the racial crap falls off.
Well, I have the webcomic I was talking about earlier
the artist's pretty good tbh
you can definitely see the anime-based influences within his/her art
@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck probably because it *is* anime
