Doesn't ”Barbarian“ mean ”Non-Greek“ which was used as an insult? What is a Greek Non-Greek

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

It means they speak another language. It's onomatopoeia for how they heard foreign languages bar bar bar, so they became the barbarians, those that speak bar bar.

Etymology aside, the Barbarian D&D class fits Heracles perfectly well

A long time ago, I saw fan art of this show and was intrigued by the colored visors. I tried to find more information about the show without success. I've been looking for this one for a long time, thank you very much for such a quick response.

Is this a Hercules/Heracles joke?

[–] Perhyte@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I believe so, but in addition it is also a "the original meaning of 'barbarian' is non-Greek person" joke.
