There is an exhibition going on in the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, Greece and it's dedicated to the Chaeronea battle where Alexander 18 years old then crushed the sacred band of Thebes. There's a lot going on there which I hope to post here, as well as the skeletons of the deceased.

That does look good, I must admit.
What a shame it finishes at the end of March. Otherwise I might have considered a cheeky little trip to Athens to see it!
