Appearance Of A Grecian Woman

Women of Greek descent are very different from women from other countries. Their bodies, their facial features, the way they speak, and their responses to issues are unique. How? Let’s see.

What Do Greek Girls Look Like?

Most Greek girls have Mediterranean skin tones (they have a light brown complexion). They have long, thick and curly hair which is naturally dark-brown. They are usually curvaceous and are rarely obese.

They have well-structured faces with sharp and precise jawlines accentuated by long and slim noses. Their eyes are usually hazel or dark brown. There are some Greek girls with blue eyes and blonde hair but they are rare to find.

The Greek people are very feminine and like to show it off. So, you will most likely find them in short skirts, heels, and cropped tops.

Genetic Makeup Of Greek Girls

Greek girls descend from a long line of women who were bold and domineering. This is contrary to the popular belief of women in ancient Greece being treated as nothing less than servants. Research has revealed that men and women of ancient Greece both had equal rights and equal power.

Their Personalities

As far as personalities go, Greek girls are as brave as they are beautiful. They are not afraid to take risks or get into arguments. This is one of their most noticeable features. 

Greek girls are very patient and easy-going. They don’t like stressing over issues, even if you show up late on a first date, they will likely be very understanding. All they want is for you to be real with them and keep your promises to them.

These women are very passionate and loving. If you ever get confused about how women feel for you, then it is quite different from Greek girls because they show how they feel in their speech and mannerisms towards you.

The passion that a Greek has extends to their country. They love their country and uphold it in high esteem. When you meet Greek women, it is easier to start a conversation when you know some things about the country.

You can never run out of conversations when you are with Greek women. They are quite smart and they never get tired of showing off their knowledge. Many historically great philosophers descended from Greece so it was probably passed down to modern Greek men and women.

Common Stereotypes About Greek Women

They’re hairy

Foreigners believe that Greek ladies usually have mustaches and a lot of body hair. This is rather untrue. Greek ladies have long thick hair (but just on their scalp) that is always groomed.

Laziness

It is believed that Greek girlfriends are spoiled ‘daddy’s girls.’ While Greek men may be overprotective, Greek ladies can be independent. They can also take on corporate jobs as up to 90% of them are educated.

They’re too carefree

Greek women take life easy and are pretty laid back. However, the Greek people don’t lead mediocre lives. They don’t settle for just about anything that comes their way. They are strong and know how to fight for what they want. This trait is seen in both Greek men and women.

They don’t like to pay for things

There is a tag that’s used when people refuse to pay their bills and it is called “going Greek“. This phrase was coined when Greek men were in debt and they had to borrow massive loans to pay off.

This is the opposite of what average, modern-day Greek girls will do. It is a part of their culture to pay the bills for themselves and the person who invited them out.

Most Popular Ancient Greek Women

In ancient Greece, women were mainly confined to their homes. Thus, it’s common for ancient men to stand out in many things like science, art, literature, and so. But some women were defiant. They proved that women can be strong, independent, and creative as well. Here are 4 most popular ancient Greek women worth discovering:

• Aspasia of Miletus. She’s one of the women who did her best to ensure that girls get access to education. She was born in Miletus, which was in Asia Minor. It’s hard to tell how she managed to move to Athens, where she lived for the rest of her life. She was the wife of Pericles, who was a local statesman. Her house in the capital of Greece was an intellectual hub where most prominent writers, thinkers, and even scientists would gather. She managed to establish a girls’ school, which was actually prohibited at that time.
• Agnodice of Athens. She was born into a rich family in Athens. The most amazing fact is how she secretly studied medicine to become the first female midwife. According to Roman author Gaius Julius Hyginus, she disguised as a man to study medicine under Herophilus. It was prohibited for women to practice medicine. She continued to practice disguised as a man. She specialized in helping women during labor because women generally would refuse to do that. Once she was caught and was about to be imprisoned, but the wives of statesmen defended her.
• Hypatia of Alexandria. She was a prominent astronomer and mathematician in Alexandria. At the same time, she was known to be a philosopher. She’s one of the earliest female mathematicians. What’s more, she was the last head of the Philosophical School of Alexandria. During that time, she was a popular lecturer and teacher of many philosophical topics. She’s known for inventing the astrolabe. Alas, she was stoned to death once she was accused of witchcraft.
• Hipparchia of Maroneia. She’s considered to be one of the most prominent philosophers of her time. She was attracted by Crates of Thebes, known for his Cynic philosophy that promoted simplicity in lifestyle. When she married him, they spent their lives in poverty. After her husband died, she wrote many works, but her works were lost. Still, she’s the only female philosopher to be included in Diogenes Laertius’s work, where you can find such names as Plato and Socrates.
