What were the physical characteristics of ancient Greece?

Answer 1

Greeks are Caucasians of Alpine/ Mediterranean Europeans. A typical Greek has thick luxurious wavy to curly black or a dark brown or reddish brown of different shades, a low forehead, straight nose, sometimes with a slight Mediterranean bump along the bridge, in continuity to the nose, large eyes and ovoid faces. Often there is a tendency to lighter colored eyes such as green, hazel and blue. inhabitants of the Pindos mountain range, and of northern Greece in general, tend to be lighter-skinned, pinkish white (not ruddy white like in northern Europe) while the southern Greeks are more olive white.

4th c. AD Jewish writer Adamantius Judaeus writes: Greeks were moderately tall men (autarkôs megaloi andres), broader, i.e., not linear-bodied (euruteroi), with moderately firm flesh (sarkos krasin echontes metrian eupagesteran), lighter-skinned (leukoteroi tên chroan), with a medium-sized head (kephalên mesên to megethos), a strong neck(trachêlon eurôston), slightly-curly brown hair (trichôma hupoxanthon hapalôteron oulon praôs), a square face, i.e., with a broad jaw and not long (prosôpon tetragônon), narrow lips (cheilê lepta), straight nose (rhina orthên), liquid, "glad," quick eyes full of light (ophthalmous hugrous charopous gorgous phôs polu echontas en heautois).
