Greeks and Buddhism
Is Buddhism still a major religion in Japan? There are many statues of Buddha in Japan. It is quite interesting that the image of Buddha everyone recognizes is of Greek origin.It's known that the Greek settlers that came with Alexander the Great built the Bactriam Empire in what is today Afghanistan. Many of them converted to Buddhism and blended their culture with their new religion. So they madee the first human representation of Buddha using the likeness of the Greek god Apollo as model. That could mean that Greeks have indirect influence over Japan as this country would embrace buddhism years later.
I guess it'd be far-fetched to conclude that the Buddha statues in Japan are , in a way, depictions of the Greek god Apollo.
