i am sure he is but you are going to watch a story about ancient greek,if the same was done to the black community they would riot.
i love it when the series or movies are authentic like vikings.there are alot of good african stories they can do series about them,look what happened with black panther it was good right

True but diversity tends to reach a larger audience lool and in this case I think it won. They chose the best person who could retell the story regardless of skin color. Most of the acting was cringe but i truly enjoyed Achilles! Good acting brings veiwers in but thats my opinion.

Other than the authentic issue how did you find the series?

i love ancient greek stories\i didnt start watching it,only saw the trailer but ill try to watch.the whole black achillis thing turned me off.but you seem to know the actor and you say he is good so ill watch it

i am not from the west but the western diversity thing is annoying sometimes.i love chinese and japanese and korean because i get to see authentic movies and their culture.it would have been better with a greek look alike,but i dont know the actor and you convinced me

Netflix isn't trying to be "politically correct".


Memnon was an Ethiopian king and son of Tithonus and Eos. As a warrior he was considered to be almost Achilles' equal in skill. During the Trojan War, he brought an army to Troy's defense and had killed Antilochus during a fierce battle. The death of Memnon echoes that of Hector, another defender of Troy whom Achilles also killed out of revenge for a fallen comrade, Patroclus.

After Memnon's death, Zeus was moved by Eos' tears and granted him immortality. Memnon's death is related at length in the lost epic Aethiopis, composed after The Iliad circa the 7th century BCE. Quintus of Smyrna records Memnon's death in Posthomerica. His death is also described in Philostratus' Imagines.
