I shall soon post some of the lovely photos of Mycenae I took when
I was there in early May, 2012.

[5] The Cup bearers Fresco at the Ceremonial Entrance to the Palace
of Knossos

[9] The Fresco often called “Les Parisiennes”
[10] The Spectators Fresco (probably at a dance performance at the
theatre of Knossos)

Please note that the originals of all the frescoes at Knossos are now
housed in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Those found onsite at
Knossos are copies, though splendid ones at that. 

Just choose your favourite fresco(es), just one (1) if you like, or as
many as three (3) and either post your choice(s) in Comments for this
post, or if you like, you can send you answer(s) to me at either of my
e-mail addresses:
vallance22@gmail.com OR vallance22@gmx.com

The addresses are not hot linked here. You will have to copy them into
your address book, and then send me your answer(s). The more folks who
answer, the merrier. So let’s all have a bit of fun! Once I have all
the results in, I shall list your own favourite(s), and mine too, of
course! This should be plenty of fun for everyone, and besides, I do
wonder how much overlap there is in people’s tastes.

So do participate!

Best,    

Richard
