Because they have nothing going for them and aren't white so they are portrayed as white and buff. Portrayed as strong and athletics.

That's the shame with the Middle East. They'd be on the same level as Southern Europe if not for *slam.

>>75363543
Unlike Roman sculptures, Greek sculptures were all idealized samefaces (except for Socrates). On the other hand the Romans painstakingly tried to make the sculptures of their famous figures and emperors as accurate as possible. This is why (good) movies about Romans always try to pick actors that look the part. Even in the fucking live action Asterix movies, they have an actor that kind of looks the part for Caesar. He has that weird, long face with the kind of sunken in features. That's because the Romans valued accuracy over beauty and were willing to show every flaw they had. Hell, the sculptures of Cato the Elder are so wrinkly it looks like his face is melting!

What the fuck are you on about.

>All greek sculptures were sameface
What? The idealized form from the classic era was pretty samefaced, but it was followed with 300 years of extreme individualism and expressive sculpture, just look up Hellenistic sculpture and try to tell me they are all sameface.

>Romans did not idealize and valued accuracy.
They just fucking copied the greeks, and mostly the classic sameface era. That's the reason almost all emperor portraits illustrate them as a young, beautiful and muscular, you think they actually all looked like that? There was some that took more from the hellenistic traditions and actually was portrayed more realistic, like with the portraits of emperor Vespasian. Compare them to Augustus from Prima Porta, the idealized portrait.
>>
>>75364150
Because it has to appeal to a wide international audience and having a neutral, well pronounced and intelligible English accent helps. Also British actors having a rich history in historical stage plays and Hollywood has helped spread the usage of their accent.
