I remember riding on bus in Athens, seeing bits of ancient stone and statues cannibalised and slotted into more recent builds. Was pretty sad, really. Something completely beautiful, (like an intact series of statues) holding up a crappy concrete block patio.

Dumpster diving in Greece results in a rare find. A Hellenistic-era statue was found inside a garbage bag near a trash container in Thessaloniki. 🏺
