Pangrati Mural on a Brutalist Building

The 4 meter high mural takes command of a wall in the entrance to a brutalist apartment building in the Athenian neighborhood of Pangrati. Located at Vasileos Georgiou B just before Rizari Street and right behind the National Center for Research. As you can see there was a water feature in front of the mural at one time. These are clearly ancient Greek soldiers heading off into battle, perhaps against Darius and the Persian armies or is this the famed Trojan Horse of the Odyssey? Either way it's a must see on anyone's architectural walks around Athens.
