[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dead: [QB] [b]Habsburg[/b], Hercules is described as fair-haired and lightish eyed in classical sources. Are these descriptions really applicable to a "black" man? Dicaearchus (4th century BC) described Herakles eyes as hypocharopos (Clem. EG. II. 30. 7). It translates as "rather blue eyed"/"somewhat blue-grey eyed". "ὑποχαροπός ( hypocharopós) rather blue-eyed, X.Cyn.5.23 (v.l.), Dicaearch. Hist. 10, Ptol.Tetr.144; also ὑποχάροψ, PTeb.816i 14 (ii B. C.). Euripides (5th century BC) also described Heracles as having xanthos plokos, fair hair (usually translated light brown, auburn etc). Why ignore all these sources? [/QB][/QUOTE]
