Cherete Filoi,
Back from vacations. Didn't do much but there is something I would like to share with you all. A couple of shots of the Charonia's Lion. A monument commemorating the theban losses during that battle.
It's quite something to be in that plain near the river imaging it all. The last stand of the sacred band supposedly is exactly were the lion stands just beside the river.
The lovely lady standing by the monument for comparison is my wife.
Ok this last picture is OT but I couldn't ressist. Syfnos, I love this island.

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
