I absolutely loved this! A straight couple was doing some photoshoots using the Knossos Palace as the backdrop; the woman had her hair done in the style of the frescoes found here at Knossos, depicting the fashionable hair around 1500 BC, with her boyfriend doing the shooting. I also loved the woman's dress and shawl to match the hair.
I was only wishing that my late honey Casey was here with me - and that she and I could've been the gay version of that couple. I know that Casey would've rocked that hairstyle very well. (Not to mention that Casey's sworn sister, Christina, lives only a 10-minute drive away from here.)

Knossos, city in ancient Crete, capital of the legendary king Minos, and the principal centre of the Minoan, the earliest of the Aegean civilizations The site of Knossos stands on a knoll between the confluence of two streams and is located about 5 miles (8 km) inland from Crete’s northern coast. Excavations were begun at Knossos under Sir Arthur Evans in 1900 and revealed a palace and surrounding buildings that were the centre of a sophisticated Bronze Age culture that dominated the Aegean between about 1600 and 1400 BCE.
This griffin is part of a fresco in the Place of Knossos in Crete, dating to 1400 BC.
When I was in college, I wrote a paper on griffins. I learned images of these creatures were spread all over the Eurasian continent and northern Africa.
The question asked were these images based on some real creature?

A better look at the woman and her style - she was truly stunning.

Raum des Palastes von Knossos - frei nach Evans - welche Funktion der Raum hatte ist unklar - vieles in Knossos hat Evans wohl ziemlich frei rekonstruiert.
Immerhin, es sieht sehr eindrucksvoll aus.
