Plutarch's Life of Alexander (Section 4) "The outward appearance
of Alexander is best represented by the statues of him which
Lysippus made, and it was by this artist alone that Alexander
himself thought it fit that he should be modelled. For those
peculiarities which many of his successors and friends afterwards
tried to imitate, namely, the poise of the neck, which was bent
slightly to the left, and the melting glance of his eyes, this
artist has accurately observed. Apelles, however, in painting him
as wielder of the thunder-bolt, did not reproduce his complexion,
but made it too dark and swarthy. Whereas he was of a fair colour,
as they say, and his fairness passed into ruddiness on his breast
particularly, and in his face. Moreover, that a very pleasant odour
exhaled from his skin and that there was a fragrance about his
mouth and all his flesh, so that his garments were filled with it,
this we have read in the Memoirs of Aristoxenus.
