btw, I apologise if I sound too irritated, it's just so so disappointing to hear such well-meaning inaccurate supposed 'facts' coming from fellow Greeks. I can only urge you to refer to educational sources directly rather than repeating hearsay and myth. It is so important these days to look beyond the superficial (what colour of hair/eyes) a person or group of people have to determine your kinship to them. This is why any discussion of the superficial is inherently racist, I mean, isn't racism the superficial judgement of others? Please consider this before reacting too quickly. If you've taken the time to visit this board and respond, then you can also perhaps find a few minutes to do a simple search on the web for historical sources and begin reading your own wonderful history as facts, rather than hearsay.
