Thucydides (460 BC – 395 BC) was a Greek historian and author of the History of the Peloponnesian War, which recounts the 5th century BC war between Sparta and Athens to the year 411 BC. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" because of his strict standards of evidence-gathering and analysis in terms of cause and effect without reference to intervention by the gods, as outlined in his introduction to his work. Source: Wikipedia. This statue is one of eight sitting in front of the Austrian Parliament in Vienna.

A very well-done shot, good clarity and background. I would prefer if his foot hadn't been cut off, but then again that could just be the perfectionist in me :)

'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives...
