Greco-Persian culture and look

[MinervaItalica]

Was thinking about Alexander the Great conquest of Persia and Greco-Persian culture exchange. Any example of ancient Greco-Persian look? What would have been the typical phenotype of a Greco-Persian person?

[MinervaItalica]

None?

[Aodhan]

Maybe like this:




Also, I found this text, I didn't read all of it but seems like to be a nice one: http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/greece-ii

No, he isn't, he was fully Persian from Balkh (would be a modern Tajik). But, there's Al Khazini who was Greek Muslim and lived in Central Asia, besides an array of Seljuk/Ottoman noblemen of Greek origin.

Ibn al-Rumi (d. 896)

Known almost universally as “Ibn al-Rūmī” (‘son of the Greek’), he was born Abū al-Ḥasan ‘Alī b. ‘Abbās b. Jurayj in Baghdad during the early ninth century to a Persian mother and a father of Greek ancestry. He was one of the most accomplished Arabic poets of his age and his diwān of poetry remains an important literary treasure to this day. Among his many patrons was the Nestorian Christian Banū Wahb family. He was a Shi‘ite Muslim with strong Mu’tazilite leanings.

For more on him, see Beatrice Gruendler, Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry: Ibn Al-Rūmī and the Patron’s Redemption (2003), Robert McKinney, The Case of Rhyme vs. Reason: Ibn al-Rumi and his Poetics in Context (2004) and Ali el-Huni’s 1996 PhD Thesis The Poetry of Ibn al-Rūmī (available here: http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4070/1/1996El-HuniPhD.pdf )

Such Greek coins and temples are the evidence of the Greek presence in Persia and far East
