[@Dedonus] So I came across a.good question. [url]http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1601806-need-some-factual-information-on-the-ancient-greek-people/[/url]

A guy name imbatman inskyrim asks.


"I'm doing a little writing and the story I am writing revolves around Heracles and the people that would have been around him at the time of Hera corrupting his mind and Heracles murdering his family. 


I've heard different things about what the ancient Greek looked like. Some say they had olive skin and dark brown/black curly hair, like the Ancient Romans. But then I've heard other people say that this isn't true. What also interests me is, how did the ancient Greek at the time view their deity's? How did they view Zeus, not how we or the romantic Romans viewed their gods, but them specifically. Did they view the gods as having white skin and blonde hair and blue eyes? Something different? Any reliable sources or videos or anything you guys can provide would be excellent."

It's a good question because how.are the Gods seen? Are they typically viewed as Greek or are they white, inhuman looking embodying elements of their respective spheres of influence. Say Poseidon looks like a fish monster or Apollo is a walking Sun with flames tearing off his body.
