I have definitely fallen in love with Alexander ;)
Thank you for these pictures of him...:)
*hugs to you*

Trust me, you're not the only one ;)I wanted to stay in front of the bust for the whole day, my friends dragged me out.

That's great :)

I saw those two when I was in Greece in October last year. I loved the first one so much I bought a miniature version of it... Not in Greece though, Olympia I believe...

Great pictures!

Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, there was no miniature one to buy, but I was tempted to bring the original home ;)

[neliana]

LOL, I know what you mean ;)

Thank you so much for posting the photos. How I envy you to have been able to see the heads close up.
*hugs*

I'm glad you liked them. I tried my best and without flash they're not as good as I wanted them. Still, nothing compares to the feeling while I stood there, in front the bust.

The overhanging forehead is typical, and the tilt of the head to the left...

[heroineanilem]

You're right, I also, think the second one belongs to Alexander; there are too many typical features to be otherwise.

Thanks so much for sharing. I hope he was as handsome in life too, but even if he wasn't, it doesn't matter.

No, problem. Glad you liked them. If he'd had half of his good looks he's represented with...ehm...I wouldn't've been responsible for my actions, of course, had I lived then. *giggles*
