Black people according to Herodotus
Black people according to Herodotus
Originally posted on Abagond:
Herodotus, a Greek historian, wrote a history of the known world 2,440 years ago. It is the oldest book we have where a person we would call White talks at length about black-skinned people.
Three things set him apart from the way Whites talk about Blacks in our time:
- He did not divide the world by race.He divided it by continent – Europe, Asia and Libya…
