Straw Hat

[susa]

HiIs there any image of Alexander wearing that greek straw hat, like that one in Aedipos' / Hermes' depictions? [the name is petasos, i think]...I am sure i saw/read anything like that [i mean, he wearing one of those] but i don't remember where.Thankssusa

Hi Susa,There's no image as far as I'm aware - but I could draw you one if you want :-)Marcus

[susa]

Please do. ;)Let's see what will come out of that.

There I go, getting myself into trouble again with flippant comments.Well, people have a choice: either look at the mosaic, or wait until I can be bothered to get out my crayons. I know which I'd choose!All the bestMarcus

:(No, I'd rather look at contemporary art.You know, can you provide the www for this Mosaic from Pella for me, please Marcus? The one i have leads me to the hunt mosaic, and i am afraid Alex is not wearing that hat in it. Not the least proper for the occasion, you know...

Although the character people usually identify with Alexander might not be wearing the hat, I believe at least one of the characters is. I don't know where one can find the mosaic on the Web, unfortunately.Hmmm, it seems you might have to put up with my Picasso-esque interpretation.All the bestMarcus

Marcus - I think you should definitely get out your
crayons...However, while we're waiting for Marcus's
masterworks (possibly on his postcard from
Siwa?), Susa - take a look at

is the one? yours,wmp
