Interesting. I go back and forth on what to call these stories. Given that Homer was said to have been an Anatolian man of Ionian descent, is his work Greek or Hellenic? Or what of Quintus of Smyrna, who had a Roman name and lived in the Roman Empire but wrote in the Greek language about Trojans, Scythians, Ethiopians, and Achaeans?
There you go. The ancient Mediterranean was so international in so many ways. Trying to put down borders feels weirdly anachronistic.
