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! ;-)

My objection isn't to the reviewers displeasure with casting, it's his paranoid fantasy about the reasons for the casting.

  It just reads that way to you.
  
  Just because he sounds paranoid doesn't mean Hollywood and the Lefties AREN'T out to get Mr. Wonka.
  
  They are just taking their sweet time.
  
  They can sell more popcorn that way.

    Google Alex Jones and social engineering. I've tried to dance around politics here, but apparently everyone here has a tin ear when it comes to identifying rhetorical sources.
