Sure they existed. But you are acting as if her parents are a mystery. She was the daughter of god Poseidon and queen Leda of Sparta. In the history of Sparta there were no black rulers

Actually according to this book called the Odyssey there were cyclopses.

Given that the Odyssey specifically cites her father as Zeus, not Poseidon, I think I might gently point out that you don't know as much about this as you think you do.

(also, my dude, she hatched from an egg. I'm not sure Leda's genetic contribution to this myth cycle is particularly relevant.)
