Was Alexander North European looking?

[Smeagol]

He was light pigmented.

Of persons excellent in Beauty.

"They say that the most amiable and beautiful amongst the Greeks was Alcibiades; amongst the Romans, Scipio. It is reported also that Demetrius Poliorcetes contended in Beauty. They affirm likewise that Alexander Son of Philip was of a neglectful handsomness: For his Hair curled naturally, and was yellow; yet they say there was something stern in his countenance.

(Aelian, Varia Historia .Book XII Chap. XIV.)

1 The outward appearance of Alexander is best represented by the statues of him which Lysippus made, and it was by this artist alone that Alexander himself thought it fit that he should be modelled. 2 For those peculiarities which many of his successors and friends afterwards tried to imitate, namely, the poise of the neck, which was bent slightly to the left, and the melting glance of his eyes, this artist has accurately observed. 3 Apelles, however, in painting him as wielder of the thunder-bolt, did not reproduce his complexion, but made it too dark and swarthy. Whereas he was of a fair colour, as they say, and his fairness passed into ruddiness on his breast particularly, and in his face. 4 Moreover, that a very pleasant odour exhaled from his skin and that there was a fragrance about his mouth and all his flesh, so that his garments were filled with it, this we have read in the Memoirs of Aristoxenus.

Plutarch, (Life of Alexander)

The strong, handsome commander with one eye dark as the night and one blue as the sky.

(Arrian)

[Hellenas]

He looks semetic from this picture.

Over here he look like a tanned(check the difference of the coloration between ear and face) Euro-Mediterranean with brown/black hair and blond shades, with very Hellenic craniofacial features.

This looks barbarian non-Hellenic as well.

The difference between Mediterraneans and Nordics. Nordics are not the ancient Hellenes.

"Another stab to the Nordicist doctrine are the actual sculptures of ancient Greece. When looking at classical sculpture one sees a very Mediterranean people. Straight or curly thick hair, low smooth foreheads, fleshy faces, round chins, a somewhat broad face, a large fleshy straight nose, full lips as well as almond shaped eyes are seen among the beautiful sculptures of the Greeks. These descriptions would never be taken to characterize someone of Germanic decent. Germanic or Nordic men are defined as having sharp angular features; thin straight noses, many ending in an upturned point, high cheek bones, thin lips, high mounded foreheads, fine straight blond hair, and eyes that are more round then almond in shape. Germanic men are seen as having sharp, hard faces, whereas the ancient Greeks have a much rounder, fuller, softer face. When looking at Greek sculpture one would never take its subjects to be Germanic, but instantly recognize them as Greek."

[Pleurat]

No Alexander the Great wasn't gay like the guy you posted.

[Smeagol]

This is the most accurate deoiction of Alexander according to Lysippos.

[TrevorXdX]

This guy looks more Scandinavian, Alexandre probably had fuller cheeks, an oval face, and not a face as marked as this guy.
