How come Alexander is blonde?

Philip and Olympias are both dark-haired, so how come he is blonde? 😕

Broom stick is the inspiration behind Alexander's hairstyle.. :)

His hair is not even properly blonde.It's strawberry.

Folks,

I agree ! His blond hair really appeals to his emerald eyes and all his strong facial contour and features. I remember such one scene where his face was smeared with gold color by Olympia as he came back victorious from his first battle against the Thracian King and later on, the camera angle captured him by his profile as he whipped and unleashed the horse to drag the defeated king's body. It was aesthetically pleasing as they really blasted up his assets, like his strong features and especially those eyes.

Folks,

First things first. Queen Ada of Caria in NOT the sister of Darius. Not even the Sony version.

If you don't believe me, apply to inlieu, who will tell you the date of the episode where Alexander views the fortress of Halicarnassus from the brink of a precipice. He mentions the brother of the former malika, but he does not say that she is the sister of Darius. That is a piece of fake news that somehow sneaked into the forum, and will not die!

She belonged to a dynasty called Hecatomnus, which was also the name of her father, King Hecatomnus. She had several siblings, but it was Pixodarus, her brother, who seized power from her and drove her out of Caria.

So the blonde hair is not an issue in her case. On the practical level, I suppose that even if the director had suggested a black dye job, Suzanne Bernert would have refused to colour her hair for that cameo!

Second.Two dark haired parents can have a blonde baby. Blonde hair is a recessive gene, while dark hair is a dominant gene. The parents could each have both genes. They could pass on the two dominant genes to a child, which would have dark hair. Or the two recessive genes, in which case the kid would have blond hair. That is it.

Then they would be constantly questioned in supermarkets by rude people asking them if the baby is their own. Or, if it happened to be crying, whether they had kidnapped it!

Alexander was a blond in real life. But we have no idea what colour Philip's hair was.

This apart, I am glad to see that you have all stopped mourning the seemingly imminent demise of this show, and have started fooling around with such topics😃

Aah you brought back my memories of studying dominant and recessive genes in Biology class 😆😆.

I still remember how those eyes were glaring in pride as Olympia's retorted Hephaestion, Alexander isn't just BEHTAR, he is BEHTAREEN. And never is he going to lose to anyone. He's undefeatable. Why am I rubbing salt on my own wound ooff 😆
