We're reminded once again that #Athens stands on the shoulders of giants. Or in this case, a 2400-year-old head of Hermes found this weekend during infrastructure work below Agias Irinis Square. It likely topped a column at a road crossing before becoming part of a drain channel.

Athens is once again in lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19. Gathering places are closed until the end of November, masks are required at all times, and travel is limited to essential needs.
