Alexander the Great
There are several different artistic renderings of Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia and Persia. He established the largest empire in the ancient world. Alexander was known for being power-hungry and blood-thirsty, but he had a following of men who would literally die for him. Today, you can find dozens of portrait busts and sculptures of Alexander the Great. In all of these renderings, his features basically remain the same. He was born in Pella, Greece, where most men have darker features. And the famous mosaic of Alexander the Great features him with dark hair and eyes. However, there are historic documents that say that he had dark blonde hair, one blue eye, and one brown. So aside from the two blue eyes, it seems like the artist actually did give him historically accurate features.
