Were the Greeks and Romans blond and blue-eyed?
by Evropa Soberana
Note of 12 July 2022:
I published this series in Ex Libris in November 2013, almost a decade ago. Since then, two things happened that move me to modify the format of this text.
First, this article was originally written in Spanish by Europa Soberana, whose site was taken down by Blogger at the end of last year.
WordPress also took down the site where I had originally published the English translation of Soberana’s essay, so the images of what was originally a series in Ex Libris can no longer be seen, as the images were hosted on the site that was taken down.
I have decided to delete the entries and put in their place a link to a PDF where you can read both the translated text and see the images.
I also put together two essays by the Spanish author in a single PDF, the one on the Greeks and the one on the Romans. (The original titles of the two separate pieces were: “¿Eran los griegos rubios de ojos azules?” y “¿Eran los romanos rubios de ojos azules?”).
