He was short, had redish patches on his body when excited, had "one eye as black as night and the other a light as day". finnaly, he had very curly light colored hair and alwas stood with his neck slightly bent to the right.

I've heard that Pompey the Great looked like him so I'd say clefted chin, small snub nose, bright blue eyes and blond hair.

Seriously, he was a tall blonde with blue eyes. His hair got darker by the time of his death but you can still call it blonde.

Ah, Perce, you scamp! Everyone knows there are no photographs of Alexander the Great. They were all burned in the fire that destroyed the Library of Alexandria.

As it is, we have many fine representations of Alexander on coins of the period. From these we may confidently state that Alexander sprouted ram's horns from his forehead, but otherwise was a rather full-lipped, romantically handsome chap, with a tendency toward bug eyes.
