Alexander the Great?I didn't know the Greeks thought lack of facial hair was considered feminine. I would think that, since they glorified youth, that a lack of a beard would have something to do with that instead. I believe the Romans' view of facial hair was different. Emperors grew them because of their admiration for the Greeks, but I believe they first thought a beard was a sign of a barbarian.
