Were the ancient Spartans and ancient Greeks Black?

Did they look like Dwayne Johnson (who portrayed Hercules in the film Hercules)?

Dwayne Johnson is a Samoan man. Not unlike his heritage, Greece is a peninsular country made up of a series of islands, much like the nation of Hawaii before it was annexed into the US as a state. It’s not out of the realm of possibility to believe there are people who resembled him in the ancestry of the nation of Greece, at least before it was conquered by the Roman empire, which is where a lot of white people come from.

Yes, but he's also African-Canadian, if I'm not mistaken

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yes, and?

[hanabunny]

I don't think so, they may have been tan though

Yeah he'll no but it's a movie get an expensive after who cares how real it seems!

It's offensive but makes money.

Dwayne Johnson is Samoan, I think.

[Asker]

He's also African-American I think

[NOTHINGEVERHAPPENS]

Very possible.

[Sunnysunny123]

No, they were white

[Asker]

But why do some of their vases and sculptures seem to depict Black people though?

[Sunnysunny123]

I come from this part of Europe and have never seen that, maybe you have photos to why you are confused?
