Document Summary
Rectangle of wool with one end folded over. Persians attacked greece, and greeks are always borrowing ideas. Drapery underneath (kind of like a roman toga - on top of your cloths) Worn underneath - light material - maybe even silk. Once a marble statue is destroyed it"s junk. If it is dedicated to the gods it can"t be destroyed. Assumed they mark the burial of someone of the same sex. Stand and mourn at the grave monument of kroisis, who is dead. Brutal ares once destroyed him ghting among the promachoi . Greeks didn"t send young boys into battle therefore, a kouros representation is misleading. Anatomy doesn"t match a pre-puberty boy but they are adjusting the kouros to match his prime soldier age. Altered to emphasis the idea of warrior. Honour to ght in the rst rank. That is how men gain political power - protecting their people. Rich athenian that has ties to lydia.
