3 million soldiers isn't a number you can just brush off as irrelevant either, though.

Reply to comment by HistoryTimeline in Eyes were a potent motif in the ancient world, sometimes used to protect, sometimes used to destroy. by MeatballDom
Looking into a person's eyes has always been considered intimate to a degree. They're critical to our body language and show where our attention is directed, as well as clearly showing you when you're being observed. Eyes of animals shining from just outside the firelight probably disturbed our ancestors for tens of thousands of years. No small wonder that eyes have been a widespread motif in art both ancient and modern - there's a reason they're called 'windows to the soul'.

Overthrow your rival? Deface his monuments and throw his statue in the sewer, make them forget his name. Only to end up preserving something of it.
