      Who got it from the romans, who got it from the Greeks.

      I don’t know where the Greeks got it from, but they probably appropriated it, too.

      I’d say rather than appropriation, it more like tossing a bunch of cultures in a blender and cooking something that hasn’t been seen in that exact form.
