Spot the difference? Compare this accurate representation of reality, above, drawn by Rosie Benson, to this deceitful painting by Raphael, below – who failed to include any of the canine companions we owe so much to. In this picture we see an illustrated vision of the famous Athenian case against Socrates’s dog, Droolius Caesar, who argued that he could not possibly know anything about who pooed on the rug. Here below, you can see the real depiction of ancient Greece that Raphael so diabolically painted in his artwork ‘ The School of Athens’ – as it truly was.

These are just some of the questions that promise to be answered in a new creative project from award-winning publishers, Unbound.
