No, this is not a blonde joke. If you want one of those, go to this week’s Humor File. Cleopatra was in fact a blonde. That’s because she was not Egyptian. She was a Macedonian Greek, with hair as blonde as Alexander’s.

My father (studied Greek and Latin) has been telling me this for years...

I first learned the fact of who and what Cleopatra was in my freshman history class. I wonder how they know that she was blonde though? Don't the Greeks come in many different shades of hair colors?
