Tech exec Bill Bliss snapped this at the Agora museum in Athens. My question: is that image of mom & kid for real? Because it looks made up. Boingboing has a larger version. Of the image, that is. [boingboing]
I think it's for real in the sense that it's there in the museum, but not in the sense that it's actually ancient. It's just done in a faux-ancient style.
[that's what I mean, real=authentic. Or something some lazy Greek curator had copied from a Pre-Raphaelite fantasy decorative plate. -ed.]
