Also, this proves (for one more time) the great magnitude, appeal & endurance through the centuries of that culture.
Rather than being monolithic, artists should delve into different cultures & effectively assimilate the most appealing to them foreign cultural elements into their own art.
But, I would have been offended (or even outraged) if foreign artists adopted cultural elements from ancient Greece in order to make fun of them.
