“The Greeks of historical times were physically a mixed people, and advocates of ‘purity’ of breed will find in them no support for their views. If their sculpture and painting present recognizably standard type, that is probably because climatic conditions exert their own control and not only give preference in survival to a type which has long been adapted to them but make acclimatization slow and difficult. The Greeks were not the blond giants of Teutonic fancy. The majority of them seem to have been, as they are today, dark-haired and olive-skinned, but among them, then as now, there were a few whose fair hair marked them out for admiring comment, like Homer’s Menelaus, who is called xanthos and looks as if he had brown hair.”

“...like that star of the waning summer who beyond all stars rises bathed in the ocean stream to glitter in brilliance.”
