Can someone with blue eyes be Greek?

Posted at: 2015-06-30 
I am half Greek, my moms whole side of the family is Greek and her great grandmother came over to America from Greece in the mid 1900s. All of us have blue eyes or green, myself included. Someone once told me that I couldn't be Greek because I don't have dark eyes and blue eyes don't originate from Greece.

I have dark hair and blue eyes.

Actually not only am i a blue eyed greek but i also have blond hair and all my family is 100% Greek. Greeks are Caucasian though... if Italians can have blue eyes why can';t Greeks? Italians probably originated from the Greek race anyway. I even seen Middle Eastern with blue eyes (but those people have mixed with a European). Greeks are white.

Yes Greeks can have blue eyes. My friend is full Greek and her and her brother both have bright blue eyes and white blonde hair.

im greek and all my family (100% greeks) have blue eyes, 2 have green eyes and i have blue. Why wouldn't Greeks have lights eyes???? they have naturally pale skin (but most hate it and like to tan) so naturally they are white-caucasians just like the rest of europeans!!!!

That "Someone" who once told you that you couldn't be Greek because you don't have dark eyes was a moron and an ignorant, in all the 24 books of his Odissey Homer calls Athena the Blue Eye.....

That someone who told you about not being Greek ha stold you a lot of bull poop. Have a look at your hand and see if all fingers are alike. If they are, then certainly there is something wrong with your hand.

Blue eyed and fair complexioned Greeks are a rule and not an exception to the rule.

My fully Greek cousin also has dark hair and blue eyes, and so does her father (as well as both of his parents).

There are plenty of Greeks with light eyes

Greece is ethnically a melting pot, and has been for 2000 years. It was largely repopulated by Germanic tribes in the third and fourth centuries. Large areas of the Peloponnese were ethnically Albanian or Turkish up till the 19th and early 20th century.

Of course. My brother, grandpa, and all of my grandpa s siblings, all 7 of them, had bright blue eyes. I also know many Greeks with blue eyes. :)
