Sappho's Family The Ancient greek poettess Sappho (who was of aristocratic origin) was dark haired (Alcaeus. fragment 55 Bergk) but her daughter Cleis is described as "a girl whose hair is yellower than torchlight" (Sappho. fragment 98a). Furthermore Sappho's eldest brother Charaxus is found described in Ovid as (flava) golden haired (Met. xii. 210). It seems then that although Sappho herself was brunette, most members of her family were in fact blonde which confirms the dominant blonde strain of the Greek aristocracy. Hiştorical tribes with blue eyes and blonde hair: © romanemperors.com The physical description of the Roman emperor Augustus by Suetonius: The Bhudini tribe: "He had clear, bright eyes, in which he liked to have it thought that there was a kind of divine power, and it greatly pleased him, whenever he looked keenly at anyone, if he let his face fall as If before the radiance of the sun; but in his old age he could not see very well with his left eye. His teeth were wide apart, small, and ill-kept; his hair was slightly curly and Inclining to golden; his eyebrows met. His ears were of moderate size, and his The Bhudini were an ancient tribe of iranian people who lived near the black sea , The Bhudini aswell as other Indo-Iranian/a---- tribes like the Scythians & Alans were commonly described by ancient greek & roman historians as having yellow/red hair. The ancient historian Herodotus gives an account of the Bhudini people: nose projected a little at the top and then bent slightly inward. His complexion was between dark and fair. He was short of stature (although Julius Marathus, his freedman and keeper of his records, says that he was five feet and nine inches in height), but this "The Bhudini are a large and powerful nation: they all have deep blue eyes, and bright red hair. There is a town in their country called Gelonus which is made out of wood. Each side of its high outer wall is thirty stades long, made entirely of wood, and wood has been used was concealed by the fine proportion and symmetry of his figure, and was noticeable only by comparison with some taller person standing beside him." for all its houses and shrines too. They have sanctuaries there which are dedicated to the (Suetonius, Life of Augustus; 69 CE) Greek gods and equipped in the Greek manner with statues, altars and buildings of wood3; and every third year they celebrate a festival of Dionysus" [Herodotus, The Histories; 440 B.cj Emperor Nero: NERO Thracians: The physical description of the Roman emperor Augustus by Suetonius: GG "He was about the average height, his body marked with spots and malodorous, his hair light blond, his features regular rather than attractive, his eyes blue and somewhat weak, his neck over thick, his belly prominent, and his legs very slender. His health was good, for though indulging in every kind of riotous excess, he was ill but three times in all during the fourteen years of his reign, and even then not enough to give up wine or any of his usual The Thracians were an ancient tribe of people who lived next to greece around the region of Bulgaria , During the Trojan war they allied with the Trojans in the war against the Greeks , In their tradition they also claim to have descended from the greek god Ares who they accepted as their patron god. The greek philosopher Xenophanes described them with blue eyes & red hair when he compared them with the Ethiopians: habíts. He was utterly shameless in the care of his person and in his dress, always having his hair arranged in tiers of curls, and during the trip to Greece also letting it grow long and hang down behind; and he often appeared in public in a dining-robe, with a handkerchief bound about his neck, ungirt and unshod." 66 "...Ethiopians are black and snub-nosed, those of the Thracians have blue eyes and red hair." (Suetonius , Life of Nero; 70 CE ] [ Xenophanes , Fragments ; 544 B.C] Dying hair blonde was a popular trend in ancient Rome: In the book Encyclopedia of Hair, Victoria Sherrow explains: GG "Hair dyes were popular in ancient Rome, and historians have found more than 100 different recipes that the Romans used for bleaching or dying hair. Light hair became fashionable after Greek culture reached Italy and the Roman legionnaires began bringing back fair-haired slaves from Gaul. Women, and some men, applied bleaching agents to their hair and then exposed it to the sun to achieve a golden or red color. Wealthier people could afford to sprinkle actual gold dust on their hair to create a blond look, as did the There are many debates to why the Romans wanted to dye their hair , most historians assume it was used mainly for prostítution which started when the Romans captured & imported female sex slaves from Celtic/Germanic tribes. ancient Phoenicians. Another way to achieve a lighter shade was to cover the hair with flower pollen and the crushed petals of yellow-colored flowers. When harsh bleaching agents caused hair loss, Roman women resorted to wigs made from the hair of blond Although another reason could simply be that blonde hair was viewed as an Aristrotic trait that may have determined a persons's social status in Roman society , To prove my point here is a complete List of Roman Emperors who had blond hair and blue eyes: slaves."

Although several of the Emperors were white grey-haired old men, we still possess information which depiets a few of them as light-eyed. If records had been made during their youth, it is likely that they would have been called fair-haired as well. Of the 9 Emperors who had fair hair. 5 are listed as also having light eyes, whilst the remaining 4 have no noted eye colour. Remarkably, only Hadrian is called dark-haired. but even then. he was still deseribed as being light-eyed.
