Culture, folklore, and mythology
An early Greek writer, Xenophanes (6th century BC) described the Thracians as a blond-haired race, although other translations render the Greek phrase in question as "red haired".
In the early period of the Roman Empire blonde hair was associated with prostitutes, who would wear blonde wigs or dye their hair. In the later period, it become more sociably acceptable and desirable, even among the upper classes. For example, the physical appearance of Emperor Nero, descended from an aristocratic family, is by the historian Suetonius described as: "... his hair light blond,... his eyes blue..." According to Francis Owens Roman literary records describe a very large number of well-known Roman historical personalities as blonde. In addition, 250 individuals are recorded to have had the name Flavius, meaning blonde, and there are many named Rufus and Rutilius, meaning red haired and reddish haired, respectively. The following Roman gods are said to have had blonde hair: Amor, Apollo, Aurora, Bacchus, Ceres, Diana, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Minerva and Venus.
