Context: princess Andromeda of the perseus myth was from Aethiopia, while it doesn't exactly map to modern Ethiopia, it does literally mean burnt (black) face. So yeah Andromeda was black, despite what most modern western depictions would have you believe.
Guess Ethiopians looked different back then

Guess they’ll have to change the saying to “ Go woke, Go $120 million domestic box office”

I never associate this myth with Ethiopia lul. Now I see why Andromeda is a gyaru in Fate GO(the closets to black people Japanese creators can illustrate while not been racists as fuck)

I mean, we can think both are inaccurate and that it also doesn't really matter, right?

I know the picture of Helen is from Nolan's Odyssey, but What's the pic of Andromeda from?
