Greeks and their eyebrow
Ancient Greece is known to be the birthplace of Western culture. When you think of this legendary culture, you probably think about philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates. Or maybe you think of the beautiful temples the ancient Greeks built for their gods like Zeus, Minerva or Athena.
A lesser known piece of ancient Greek culture was their odd view on facial hair. The look for women in Greece was one bushy eyebrow. Women who weren’t blessed with a unibrow often drew it on themselves. This physical characteristic was a symbol of intelligence and purity, traits that were of great value to the goddess Minerva. This goddess is often illustrated with an owl, while a unibrow slightly resembles something with a pair of wings. Coincidence?
