Translation by the editor of the hatnote quote:

‘The civilising, initiating force did not reside in the South: it emanated from the North. It came from Thrace, Orpheus, Museo and Linus. The Greek warriors appeared tall, white, blond… the highest expression of beauty, of majestic power, was for the Olympians nothing other than the reproduction of the Aryan type: blue eyes, blond hair, white complexion, tall, slender stature’ (Arthur de Gobineau, An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races).
