[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 315180, member: 2844"]I noticed that too when I was researching Alexander imagery. The Nemean lion skin, a symbol of Herakles, could have been interpreted as the lion as symbol of royalty. Herakles is said to have visited the temple of Ammon in Siwa, as did Alexander. At the temple Alexander was supposedly told that Ammon was his real father, and that he would conquer the world. The horns are probably genetic.:D:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
