be careful not to compare greek then to greek now LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 05/12/2010 06:29:51 PM
as a whole, the Greek people are now one of the more homogenous nationalities on a genetic level, however this was not the case in Ancient times. Reading through Greek Mythology, it is not strange for the protagonist to be light-haired. Also, Alexander the Great had lighter hair, as did others from Maecedonia (as a historical example).

Even now, there are lines of Greek heritage in Greece that have light hair (I believe these lines are mostly northern). Red hair is generally uncommon in most genetic lines, so it would not be expected to find a high number of them anywhere.

Gross. All I can think of when you say proportions is Rand's huge dong covered in red pubes - 06/12/2010 08:38:31 AM 1522 Views
Sounds like a personal problem. - 06/12/2010 11:44:27 AM 1389 Views

Or as some would say, do the curtains match the rug? *NM* - 06/12/2010 08:35:44 AM 671 Views
