And who says history does repeat itself??!! Look at the Anabaptists and the siege of Munster too. This seems to be a recurrent theme throughout history doesn't it?

It has been said that history began with war and poetry. Aeschylus the tragic poet who wrote Agamemnon (above) fought in the battle of Marathon. He also lost his brother in that battle. The battle was won against huge odds so it was both a tragedy and something to be proud of for Aeschylus.

I was mesmerised by the similarities. In ancient times, wearing the masks enabled spectators to maintain a distance but still engage with the unfolding horror.
