The Son of Protagoras

The Son of Protagoras is an impressive mural created by French graffiti artist MTO, located in the courtyard of the Northern Ireland War Memorial in Belfast.

This powerful piece of street art depicts a grim figure holding a dead dove pierced by two arrows - symbolizing the conflict between Irish Catholics and Protestant Unionists.

The figure's angry gaze is directed toward St. Anne's Cathedral, which adds philosophical and historical depth to the mural. The title refers to an ancient Greek philosopher known for his relativistic views, making this work a fascinating point of reflection on wisdom and destruction.
