White-armed Hera

After so many recent pseudo stories of great archaeological discoveries, like this recycled one of Jesus' family tomb, it's nice to see a real find announced such as the discovery of the statue of Hera for the temple of Zeus at Dion (major site that sits below the snowy peaks of Mount Olympus). If you're ever at the underrated and generally ignored archaeological site of Dion, the taverna across the street from the museum is highly recommended, having served a lone traveler a mean dish of pastitzio one cold but sunny December afternoon, thus demonstrating that xenia still lives.
