Hello

Anyone here would suggest any studies that might give an idea if there once was any outstanding symbolic meaning regarding the Bull in Macedonia or Greece in ancient times? Apart from Minotaur and Zeus/white bull, I mean

Thanks!

Hello Delos13, Thank you for your trouble! Ai ai ai.... What frightens many professionals is that some 'conservators' do apply their artistic vision over the object of their work. You see --- the quality of "ancient" somehow disappears for good. We don't have the actual painting any more, ...

Hi there I got this picture, and I wonder if anyone has seen this before: the upper picture is from tomb 94 at Amphipolis, and the bottom pic is an old one thought to be Alex and Hephaistion likenesses. Any ideas? They do look very similar... Alex with longer hair then Hephaistion's... Maybe human f...

Truly beautiful. And the website is charming!

I don't know if the picture I found is indeed a restored image or just author's vision Oh, I hope the second option is the case here! Maybe he got a PhotoShop specially for his article. Incidently, would that be possible for you to provide the link for this article you mention? Or at least the name...

http://www.bulletinasiainstitute.org/abst/vol22/Muzio.jpg Oh.My.God. It is most surprising! Uzbekistan, it Must be Alexander with the Aries horns! He had been there, and, being the maelström he was, he surely had lingered. I have searched further. I found another picture of this wall painting in Li...

Oh I am so surprised about this Porus movie. And Bollywood make such wonderful films, very entertaining. I seen one which is very very good - Jodha Akhbar -, and it is a suggestion as well. It is Very High Quality. This Puru one looks a bit 'B' for the high Bollywood standards... Anyway, worth seein...

Hi Ok, I am hanging around here, and reading posts, new and old. And the memory of one old reply to a post has striken me, a post which was about Alex's death (the original post has been deleted after the site has been updated, back in the middle of the 2000's). I remembered this guy said he was in ...

Hi system1988 A very nice and intense trip, that one! Thanks for asking. It was not like 'on the footsteps of Alexander', since I wasn't thinking about him much by that time , but it came out to be very thrilling when I could see on the plane flight path screen I was actually crossing all those plac...

Hello!

I finally went to Alexandrine places!

Crossed the Bosphoros. By car
Then went to India!

After that, and going Beyond Alexander

....
.... Katmandu! This one Alex never dreamed of going. Right?

I think he'd snort and snigger, and Solemnly quote The fox and the grapes, by Aesop.

Hello,

What intrigues me the most in this letter is the majestic plural used when Hephaistion replies.
I wonder if that is a later adding...
Or if it is linked to the He Too Is An Alexander (read as the regal office) thing.

but are probably as accurate as a renaissance imagining. And as accurate as those coins with ram horns and lion's scalp, and obviously-pretty marble faces, bronze statuettes, and all that... Thanks for telling me about the Abuqir thing. Anyway, I still think it very human-faced. Oh who knows! :roll:

Merry Christmas to you too. I think they could be either decked with plumes (big birds, like swans or the like I expect), and those in bronze, like the ones in the Vergina museum. And I've seen one very nice helmet with fine drawings on the front part. I have the link - http://historizo.cafeduweb.co...
