In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was cast into Taishang Laojun’s Eight-Trigram Furnace, burned for 49 days as punishment. Yet he did not die. He emerged transformed, his eyes scorched into Fire-Eyes with Golden Vision. From then on, no illusion could deceive him; every demon’s disguise melted under his gaze. What was meant to destroy him became his sharpest power.
🎨 Liu Jiyou (1918–1983)

Alexander was probably not the blond blue eyed hero modern art loves. The Greek adjective xanthos used for hair means yellowish to tawny or even auburn, not a strict blond.

Look: https://t.co/SirrYTRhSk?

Plutarch only says he had a fair complexion that flushed red and even complains Apelles painted him too dark.

A rare ancient portrait in color, the Pompeii Alexander Mosaic copied from a late 4th c BC painting, shows him with brown hair and dark eyes.

The blue eyes myth belongs to the much later Alexander Romance, a literary tale, not a historian.
