Maybe the monkeys traveled widely.

The ancient Cretans drove their 4x4’s all the way to India. So I’m told

[DesertRhino]

Maybe ... it means monkeys traveled widely back then.

A Bronze Age painting on a Greek island shows a monkey from thousands of kilometres away in Asia.

Wouldn’t it have been incredibly tiny from that far away?

[Red Badger]

Maybe there used to be monkeys in Greece?.........Have people never heard of Greece Monkeys?.......................

...aw, geez, your Uncle Spiros isn't going to sit us down after dinner and make us look at his cave paintings of his trip to the Indus Valley again, is he?

Those are possums.

You can’t swing a Spartan in Greece without hitting a possum.

Turns out that possums really like olives.....in their martinis.

Well, one could argue that Alexander the Great covered / visited much of the known world.

Some of those s shaped tails look like a c to me.

Maybe those were monkeys who didn’t win the spelling bee.

Looks like parts of Brownsville

[NativeSon]

Looks like they are playing ball.

This is a very interesting find. However, given the magnitude of Magna Graecia and the other Greek colonies it’s pretty obvious the Greeks really got around.

The king had a fleet of trading ships at sea along with the ships of Hiram. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
