Red hair in Ancient Greece

[hoplite14gr]

The Names Pyrros Pyriochos Pyrreas Pyrrilos are ascociated with people who have red hair.
Pyra is "fire/flame" in Greek. (Pyrra is the Woman who prepares fire)
Plutarch and Thukidides describe the Molossian Royal clan as red haired people.

Native red hair in Greece are not so ligt coloured as in the Celts. They have darker shades just as the blond is the "dirty blond".

Hope it helps
