My October…

This is a simple but probably heavily painted greek funerary stele without antae but with five antefixes, probably from the early 4th century BC.

The stele shows the depiction of a young hoplite sitting on the prow of a military trireme, holding his head melancholically, his hand resting on his knee. He has left his helmet and shield on the ground beside him.

The sea was probably depicted as a blue band on the polished surface of the lower part of the stele. The painted scene must have been completed by the depiction of a rock.

The identity of the young man who probably died in a naval battle is known to us from the inscription carved on the epistyle: Demokleides Demetrio. Demokleides was probably a member of the crew of a warship that either sank or he lost his life during a battle.

I love everything about this.

You ever just realized how lucky you are that you did that weird thing that led to you being friends with the people you are friends with?
