I thought you'd want the first ping to this one.
Yeah.....riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight; Achilles was black because Ancient Greeks were Negroid; or were the Ancient gods and goddesses supposedly "BLACK" ?
Achilles was the son of the King of Thessaly and Thetis, a water nymph/Nereid; making him a semi-immortal and except for one of his heels ( because his mother dipped him into the river Styx and held on to that one heel ) unable to be killed.
It's long past time for the BBC to be put out of business and thus, saving everyone in the UK money, by not making them all pay for that channel, whether they watch it or not!
Though I much prefer "The Odyssey" to "The Illiad", I still know and remember both very well. And yes, I am not just appalled, but disgusted by this crappy, cultural appropriation by a bunch of stinking PC MARXIST ELITE SJWs in London.
The has BBC ordered that every single production be racially diverse. No matter what. Very sad that an institution which for decades produced some of the finest historical documentaries, has stooped to historical revisionism, in the name of political correctness.
