Gotta say I'm with Wonka on this issue

I like to flatter myself that I have a passing knowledge of classical literature, and, amazingly enough, I've never found even ONE reference to Zeus or Achilles being Nubian! ;-)

OTOH, I do recall one of the Roman emperors (I forget which one now) traveling out to one of the conquered provinces to help dedicate a shrine to one of the local deities, since the Romans were fairly tolerant of other religions. They saw the parallels between their gods and other groups' gods, with the latter having equivalents in the Roman Pantheon. ("Oh yeah - this local god of yours is like our Jupiter.") Of course, this tolerance didn't always extend to Christianity! But I suppose there could have been a local Nubian god who was the equivalent of Zeus/Jupiter! ;-)
