Terribly practical, though. Maybe that's a major source of the whole
scarlet woman myth?

And by the way, who the hell could afford enough saffron to dye their
hair with it?

Don't tell me, Latin and Greek translators who didn't know that much
about botany and weren't that bothered either? Or has it come into
fashion, like researching what the plants in the Bible might have
actually been?

So who else is red-headed in the Bible?
