Buste van Herodotus in de Petrusburcht van Bodrum. Herodotus (Grieks: Ἡρόδοτος, Hēródotos} van Halicarnassus (Halicarnassus, ca. 485 v.Chr. - Thurii, tussen 425/420 v.Chr.), was een Grieks geschiedschrijver.

I often think people categorise pictures without looking and without having a clue about the cultures they “document”. I found this picture categorised as Ancient Roman statues in Bodrum Castle. It had been published in 2010 without reference to culture. Then in 2014 it was categorised as Ancient Roman statues in Bodrum Castle by a person who since has been blocked and who in my mind is a fool. From then on it was Ancient Roman and no one seemed to notice that it was so very un-roman, and that the lettering below looked strangely artistic. When I saw it I thought it was mid-20th century. I trawled the web and found pictures with the notice that is not in the picture, explaining it was by sculptor Veli Daşkıran. I could not find much about him, but found “Cannur Daskiran was born on July 19, 1992 in Kadikoy, Istanbul, Turkey. He is a director, writer, editor and musician. He is the third and last son of a sculptor father Veli Daskiran and chemist mother Rogeye Mehred Daskiran.”
