Reply to comment by EmperorG in I think that the term Byzantines is rightly used for adressing the Eastern Roman Empire. by VipsaniusAgrippa25
I think it shows that from even their own origin myth the romans adopt Greek history/myth.
There's plenty of things showing romans were Greek fanboys, the most apparent being tutored by Greeks (as apparently you're no a true civilized Roman aristocrat if you don't own/pay for an expensive Greek tutor)
I'll concede that they probably didn't REALLY consider themselves Greek, that was just a poor exaggeration on my part
