The Greeks had fairer hair previously.
You mean like the epic on one of the cable channels this year?
We called it, "Malibu Barbie of Troy."
It just stunk....
My mother's side of the family is from Sparta (she came over in the 1950's). We are all rather fair-skinned for Greeks. My hair was blond when I was young, but it gradually darkened over the years. When I was young, my friends would call me "Casper" (as in the friendly ghost) because I had very pale skin. I have green eyes, same as my grandmother. Not all Greeks are dark.
