Paul--I disagree so strongly that all I can do is agree to disagree. I think you need to hold an aspis and a spear and stand in a line and walk forward... Anyone not standing sideways is--well, dead.
Actually, I have a degree that claims I do understand...Classical Art History (minor) and while I'd never claim to understand cultural artifacts like "intention" I think I have an "okay" understanding of translation of posture.
Anyway, this is one of those things it is pointless to debate. I see different things--even in the art you provided, each shot of which, to me, supports my view.
It's okay.
this is one of those things that having a BIG reenactment--like Marathon--should work towards solving. And I may be wrong--
but I don't think so! ) )
