BELGRAVIA, U.K. - s4story -- London, UK - In celebration of Black History Month UK, the YouTube channel @GreekMythology-Ilivision presents a compelling discovery regarding the partial African ancestry of Hercules (better known as Herakles in Greek mythology). This revelation traces his lineage back to his great-grandmother Andromeda, an Aethiopian princess of African descent. By meticulously gathering evidence from ancient Greek historians, geographers, and mythographers, this research invites a deeper exploration of Greek mythology, highlighting a long-overlooked aspect of Hercules' heritage.

Drawing on extensive literary sources from the likes of Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Eratosthenes and Pseudo Apollodorus, @GreekMythology-Ilivision provides a wealth of evidence supporting Andromeda's African origins. Additionally, this body of research is bolstered by insights from a pre-Socratic philosopher and maps of old that clearly indicate that Aethiopia, Andromeda's homeland, was located south of Egypt on the continent of Africa. Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian, described Aethiopia's population as having "black skin and woolly hair," a description echoed by Diodorus Siculus providing unequivocal evidence of the ancient Greek perception of the location of Aethiopia and its inhabitants.

"We aim to offer a new perspective that enriches the understanding of Greek mythology and challenges preconceived notions of race in ancient history," said a representative of @GreekMythology-Ilivision. "By recognizing Andromeda's African heritage, we also highlight the fact that her great-grandson, Hercules, was in part, Black."

This revelation about Hercules' partial Black heritage opens the door to a more nuanced, inclusive perspective on ancient Greek mythology. It is not a revision of mythology, but a reawakening of lost knowledge about the connections between ancient Greek civilization and Africa. Hercules' heritage represents a bridge between cultures that has long been neglected. It also reaffirms the importance of questioning historical interpretations that may have been shaped by later influences.
