Correct Yiannis Central and Northern Greeks have strong Doric roots.

The Morans (junior warriors) of the Maasai people of East Africa still live on a diet almost exclusively of cow's blood mixed with milk, ashes and maybe a little cow urine (don't worry, the cow is a sacred animal in their culture.) Henry Treece and others in the early 20th century detected survivals of a number of warrior customs that were common in archaic Greece that survive to this day in Eastern and Southern Africa, cattle cults and warrior fraternities among them. They implied a close Libyan-Greek connection from them (Libya had a different meaning in the ancient world). They speculated that the culture of Sparta was a survival of a lifestyle that had prevailed in much of Greece in the pre-classical era. That said, black broth sounds like nasty stuff.

On fitness they were most definetely endurance oriented on and for marches and training in great tension for battle.They would be like modern dekathlon athletes i think.
