>Homer β Iliad (Book 1.423β425)
βFor Zeus had yesterday gone to Oceanus to a feast with the blameless Aethiopians, and all the gods went with him.β
The Aethiopians are described as βblamelessβ (αΌΞΌΟΞΌΞΏΞ½Ξ΅Ο) and are worthy of being visited by the gods themselves.
>Homer β Odyssey (Book 1.22β24)
βThe 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.β
Here they are literally called βthe most just of menβ (δικαιοΟΞ¬ΟΟΞ½ αΌΞ½ΞΈΟΟΟΟΞ½).
>Herodotus β Histories 3.20
βThese Aethiopians are said to be the tallest and the most beautiful of all men.β
Tall, beautiful, physically impressive. Again spoken of admiringly.
>Herodotus β Histories 3.21β22 (description of the "Long-lived Aethiopians")
He describes them as exceptionally healthy, long-lived, and possessing the finest customs.
>Diodorus Siculus β Library of History 3.3
βThe 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.β
So they were portrayed not only as ancient but as morally superior.
So no, pointing out historical facts about Sub-Saharan influence isnβt βblack supremacy.β Itβs just not Eurocentric mythology.
