I don't know about how many would have lived in Greece, but they're definitely in the tale of the Trojan War. There's a whole poem, Aethiopis, starring them. The original text is pretty much entirely lost, but we do have a Roman-era summary of it to give us the broad strokes. Aethiopians show up in other stuff too; Perseus fights a sea monster there, for example

I'm aware of that, I don't understand the complaint if the character is supposed to be Ethiopian or the like. But the source for there being plenty of black people in Ancient Greece I'd still like to see since it sounds like a pretty interesting claim. I hope the other person delivers.
