Apollo was considered to have brunette hair 😭 fair hair was the beauty standard. Why? BECAUSE IT WAS UNCOMMON

Zoro :

Saar we were ancient greeks

Δημήτρης :

If it wasnt rare to be blonde back then, then they wouldnt even mention it since the homeric epics dont describe regular hair or characteristics of the heroes only whatever makes people stand out like Ajax's size Odysseus blonde locks helens radiant beauty etc

Tolis Daigo :

I'm 78.4% Greek 11.4% South Italian 6.2% Romanian and 4% Finnish I'm I'm blonde and both parts of my family are blonde with blue/green/grey eyes

legionnaire :

Alexander the Great also reportedly had Blonde hair

🇬🇷🇦🇶 :

modern Greeks are more blond than ancient Greeks

Aluthian :

Indo-European Europeans didn’t generally “become blond” until the Bronze Age, and that just happened in North and Western Europe. The reason why heroes are depicted as blond is that people tend to write heroes as good-looking. Even non-fictional heroes’ appearances are changed by storytellers to make them more handsome.

Hasan🏺 :

No. They weren’t blonde. There was maximum a shiny brown color that reflects under the sun but not in the sense of Scandinavian blonde.

Po.k58 :

𐀟𐀪𐀐𐀩 𐌀ᏵᚱO :

Thats actually not true, Greek populations did not originate from Indo-Europeans, that's a very outdated theory which was disproved by genetic science. Indo-European DNA appeared in Greek dna long after it was formed indigenously in the mainland Greece and the Aegean region (Aegean islands and western coasts of Anatolia). Ancient Greeks derived around 80-90% directly from these native neolithic people, while Indo European DNA was much later additional, on average 10% and often it was entirely absent, as we see by the tomb of the legendary Griffin Warrior of Pylos, a royal Mycenean warlord that was expected to have atleast 5% Indo European DNA, but he had 0%.

I think you are talking about the Thracians
