Wrong category for Odyssey characters?
I just realized that the Greeks in Odyssey maybe don't belong in this category since this category was created specifically to refer to Greek nationals (as opposed to ethnic Greeks whose "nationality" may actually have belonged to the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt instead). In the 5th century BCE, Greece was not yet unified. Although, I protested that the Greece article was still appropriate because the Greeks then did have a concept of the Greek civilization, there wasn't a unified Greek state. People's "nationality"—we are using that term loosely since some political theorists believe it is anachronistic for antiquity but I disagree—would best have been approximated to their polis not Greece, at least not until Macedon unified Greece. I'm not sure about this though. What do you guys think? Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 20:57, June 8, 2020 (UTC)
