here are a few primary sources with quotes that show how the Classical Greeks viewed Aethiopians in a positive or admiring way:
Homer – Iliad (Book 1.423–425)
>“For Zeus had yesterday gone to Oceanus to a feast with the blameless Aethiopians, and all the gods went with him.”
The Aethiopians are described as “blameless” (ἀμύμονες) and are worthy of being visited by the gods themselves.
Homer – Odyssey (Book 1.22–24)
>“The gods are gone to the Aethiopians, distant though they are, to a feast; they are the most just of men and the gods delight in their offerings.”
Here they are literally called “the most just of men” (δικαιοτάτων ἀνθρώπων).
Herodotus – Histories 3.20
>“These Aethiopians are said to be the tallest and the most beautiful of all men.”
Tall, beautiful, physically impressive — again spoken of admiringly.
Herodotus – Histories 3.21–22 (description of the "Long-lived Aethiopians")
He describes them as exceptionally healthy, long-lived, and possessing the finest customs.
Diodorus Siculus – Library of History 3.3
>“The Aethiopians were the first of all men, and proofs of this are manifest. They did not arrive at their customs by imitating others, but by founding a most just government and living in piety.”
So they were portrayed not only as ancient and beautiful, but as morally superior
And the Jews said:
Ezekiel 23
>“…their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.”
Egyptians are described using sexual metaphors.
The idea of the superior black male has persisted throughout history and perhaps that is why the American Jews and White conservatives have been trying to oppress them for centuries.
