A Look into the Dark of WARRIORS!




"A Persian Reconnaissance Unit was sent to gather intelligence on the Hellenic Forces; however, they could not see over the wall which the Greeks were stationed behind. What they did see were the Spartans: Some playing sports and others, more strangely, combing their long hair. The "Recon" team rode back and told King Xerxes of what they had seen. The King had in his camp exiled Spartan Prince Demaratus as a counselor, and asked whether his fellow Spartans were insane to be employed instead of fleeing!? Demaratus' reply: "A hard fight was no doubt in preparation, and that it was the custom of the Spartans to array their hair with especial care when they were about to enter upon any great peril." (The Spartans braided their hair, since it served as an excellent defense against blows to the head when braided tightly.)" (scholarship source unknown)




Greek soldiers in combat?? I doubt it. The Persians were a dark race. Only the Greeks and Romans lacked melanin. Everyone else had melanin.
