Okay, but none of the shit in the Odyssey looks cool.
Not coincidentally, the historically accurate stuff would have looked a lot cooler.

I mean this is honestly far from the worst part about this whole dumpster fire but I glanced down and saw this at the bottom... definitely continuing the Third Reich, I guess.

He's like the Platonic ideal of a man, for sure. He was one of the two men that I liked before I even knew that I liked men (the other one was Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn).

*Technically* it originated in revolutionary France, with the paintings of Jacques-Louis David (first image).
But yeah, there's no evidence that the Romans ever actually used it as a salute. The closest thing we know of is the traditional "orator's pose" in statues, which... is not the same thing.

I got to see one of these at a traveling exhibit in the Worcester Art Museum while I was in MA. They remain some of my favorite pieces of historical artwork. They have a captivating, raw sort of humanity about them.

This is my current TSons collection. Magnus in the back is one of the painted minis I am the most proud of!
The half-painted sorcerer in front of him and the Daemon Prince are two versions of the same OC, Magister Antarion.

Since you said you were curious, here are two excerpts - I'd love to know what you think of them! I have much more, but it's not currently uploaded anywhere (although I do have an AO3 account so I theoretically could put it there).
