I love what nerds we are in the Art History major.
I love that I overheard a man in my class telling a girl that their other Professor had identified the figures of the Tyrannicides as Kleobis and Biton! To which I wanted to interject, "Instead of Harmodios and Aristogeiton?!" and also, "Are you sure he wasn't comparing them? Because it could be the original Tyrannicides by Antenor would have looked like the kouroi representing the brothers..." But didn't need to because shortly some other guy proposed the very same theory.
"No," the man assured us, "he said they were Kleobis and Biton."
And then everyone enjoyed a quiet chuckle at that poor professor's expense.
