Stunning piece of art!

And I have a special fondness (as did Homer hiself, who chose him only to address directly in the
2nd person in the Iliad) for the hero himself: such a noble figure.

You love those tragic, beautiful heroes, E. (Me, too.)

He's very pretty, R. I wish I had a nice print of him.
