    Note the dog at center-left

    Another tale from the conflict is of the dog of Marathon. Aelian relates that one hoplite brought his dog to the Athenian encampment. The dog followed his master to battle and attacked the Persians at his master’s side. He also informs us that this dog is depicted in the mural of the Stoa Poikile.[132]

    I LOVE HIM.

    A very happy dog running around the battlefield from OP's picture.

    Mmm, yes, indeed, verily.

    Four warriors with spears, shields and helmets and nothing else but their butts.

    “Screw you guys, I’m going home.”

    A figure labelled Selene is sitting on a horse and seems to be leaving the place.
