The Hellenes and Romans were white.

Achilles was the son of Peleus, King of the Myrmidons of Phthiotis, Thessaly and Nereid, or Water Spirit Thetis.

She dipped him into the river Styx holding him by the tendon on his heel, where he was then vulnerable.

As we know, that tendon bears his name.

Paris, Prince of Troy fired a poisoned arrow, guided by the God Apollo, and struck him down to the Underworld.

...All because Eris, Goddess of Chaos was not invited to his Parents' wedding.

In order to take revenge, She threw a golden apple to the guests saying this is for the most beautiful woman.

Hera, Athena and Aphrodite all claimed it, so Zeus granted judgement to Paris, Shepherd of Mount Ida who was unaware he was the Prince of Troy.

He chose Aphrodite as the winner, who, in exchange, helped him win Helene.

And the French, known for their culture of romance, language of love, and charming, beautiful women, has their capital named after the very same Paris.
