Homer's Iliad The Epic Cycle that Homer's Iliad is part of literally has an Aethiopian (Sudanese) army in it. It is also a plot point early in the Odyssey that Athena manages to get Zeus to let Odysseus actually go on the fucking odyssey because Poseidon is away in Aethiopia and therefore can't object Edit: misremembered which poem Memnon was in. The Iliad does contain references to Aethiopia, but Memnon and his army star in a different part of the Trojan War story
