Anakalian Whims:

I’m speed reading through Herodotus for book club discussion on Monday. As I compile notes, I also like to read outside sources. Check out this re-blog which will serve as one of my installments of Herodotus notes.

I was looking about for classical descriptions of Egyptians and Libyans. Where the term Libyan is used, it refers to Caucasian North Africans, Ethiopian is the classical term for black Africans, at one point Herodotus writes about the the Ethiopians that live in parts of Libya. Herodotus considered Egyptians to be the third race of people in Egypt in north Africa.
