Ancient Cultures: Greek

I wish i knew more about the ancient greek history. So much amazing facts to learn.. will give me something to do when i have some spare time.. right! Actually i probably know a little more than i realise through my love of reading historical novels and watching epic style movies. I seriously will have to try to learn more though.
I found the Greek artifacts particularly appealing, the artwork and statuary very classical in design.
Enjoy :)
so classical
This one is Zeus. For some reason it scares me.. maybe it's the blackened out eyes...

reminds me of a cherub and makes me smile
lovely craftsmanship

reminds me of the statues of Easter Island for some reason


These coins depict Alexander the Great
