Ah no, but the GODS had blond hair, because it was gold, like the sun. And blue eyes for the sky. Blond hair and blue eyes were exotic, but known in the world of the Ancient Greeks. I read somewhere that all the gods had blond hair--it didn't say anything about eye colour, which is why I give Eros red eyes (red for lust and passion and love) and Dionysus has wine-purple eyes--at least, in my head. Hades is the only one where I cannot see him without black hair and black eyes and light grey-blue skin--as though he's been drinking silver nitrate all his life and has argyros (sp?). Hades might also have glittering, gem-like eyes because he rules over them. Demeter would have green eyes, I wager, and Hestia brown ones. This is just my speculation on the matter of eye colour.
