16th August 2014Riace’s BronzesA - the Young one / the heroB - the Old one / the general When I saw them, I was totally speechless at first. My mind could not even elaborate so much magnificence.They were so beautiful that my face were full of joy’s tears.There are many hypothesis about the identity of these men, but I’d love to think that they are two soldiers of the Thermopylae, maybe the Old one could be also Leonidas.But the most credited hypothesis is that the A statue is Tideo (Thideus?) (because of the silver teeth) and the B one is Anfiarao (Anphiaraos?).[Seven against Thebes] -- source link
