    Agree with scout.But did the artist really name that painting “booyah”?

    Ah yes you are both right.  I think “booyah” is Greek for “I knew someone here would try to cheat by looking at the image file name”.  ;D

    Yeah I thought it might be easy, but then again, if someone is not familiar with the “sword of Damocles”, of if they didn't make the connection immediately between the image and the story, then it would have been harder.Try this one:

    Isn't that supposed to be an image of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

    Does it refer to some order of knights? Some orders were depicted in this way to express their “poverty” and piety.ps. Good morning 😉

    I remember some legends but not good enough. Is it connected with horse Bayard and some brothers? I don't have time to check that in google 🙂
