I never tire of viewing the famed bronze ‘Boxer at Rest’ at the #PalazzoMassimo in Rome. This one work of art - a Hellenistic Greek original, perhaps inspired by the work of Lysippos - feels the most human. Tired, beaten, bloody, scarred, and mortal.

2nd c.-1st c. BCE

@mythsbaby You should cover Eurybarus rescuing Alcyoneus from the monster at Krisa! It's a myth local to Delphi that has some interesting parallels to Perseus and Andromeda - I think it's in Antoninus Liberalis' Metamorphoses.
