Herculean Men in Carrboro

January 21, 2014 by onfranklin&main in Arts, Arts/Carrboro

The "Marathon" mural by Michael Brown (1994) was commissioned by owner, John Dimos, who operated the Greek restaurant that formerly resided in the building in which the painting appears. The mural depicts an ancient Greek marathon as if on a broken plate -- from the Greek tradition celebrating by breaking a plate. In 2012, Dimos, who owns Captain John's Dockside in Chatham County, funded the restoration of the mural.

The mural is located at the convergence of West Rosemary Street and East Main Street  in Carrboro. Its appears on the Don Jose Tienda Mexicana.
