Red hair in Ancient Greece

[Idomeneas]

Mythology sources gives us clues that certain heroes had blonde (Achilles) or red hair (Menelaos, Pyros (Neoptolemos). Also some Gods like Hephaistos. Alexander also is recorded as fair hair. So we can assume that there were people with red or blonde (more like hazel-blonde not real yellow or off-white hair) hair. But they were rather rare and it was considered a beauty criterion. Same like dark hair people are considered exotic in Scandinavian countries.
Even today really blonde or red hair people are rare in Greece. Fair hair and eyes are considered beautiful. So i guess im lucky for having myself a green eyed and real golden hair Greek lady 8)
