winner of the Olympiad in boxing in 93 maybe? The foundation of the Hellenic word has a Herakleides from Egypt down as the winner, and the Pausanias mentions him as having won over Apollonios who did not make it to the match on time giving Herakleides a technical victory at the 218th olympiad.
Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Probably just someone with the same name. This Herakleides was a scribe, priest or worshipper of Thoth

Surely the pronunciation should be Heh-ra-KLAY-deez. The EI of the penultimate syllable should be sounded like AY not EE.

Absolutely ecstatic about the upcoming 2018 exhibit!

I feel like the bird was wrapped up with him because it was his pet

It's remarkable the connection these portraits evoke with people from so long ago. They are haunting and poignant.
