I think he models for a Herm so it would be more of a Hermes / Eros look (Eros isn't that intersting ;) ) The Herm was often just depicted as a phallus, so again something to consider about the skills of MR.

Well now, Doug, you know I just can't wait to get stuck into dear Socrates. However, I know if I start now, I won't be able to stop! And as it's just gone 1.30 in the morning here in Sydney Towne, I'd better get to bed before the sun starts peeking over the horizon. I've just had a Baileys nightcap and my bed is calling to me. So I'm off to the Land of Nod. Saturday tomorrow and I will post a few comments about Socrates.
Nighty-night :)
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sweet dreams...the "Old Man" I was asking you to comment on is " The Old Man" who becomes Alexias' friend at school.
