Sephardi Jewish costumes from Thessaloniki, Greece. 1986, by Nikos Stavroulakis.
Sephardic Jews flourished in medieval Spain under the rule of the the Muslim Umayyads. In the 15th century, during the Christian Reconquista and resulting anti-Jewish persecution, they fled to the Middle East and the Balkans, where they outnumbered and mixed with the local "native" Jewish communities. Thus, they established major centers of Sephardi culture throughout Ottoman lands. Thessaloniki, the “Jerusalem of the Balkans”, with its once majority Jewish population, became part of the modern Greek state as a result of the First Balkan War in 1912. A few decades later, more than 95 percent of the city’s Jews were murdered during the Holocaust.

Idk why but I want a Greek actress for the role of Zoë nightshade. Can’t believe a series centred around Greek mythology doesn't have any Greek or Balkan actors 😭
