The two stamps feature Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great.

The frieze from the royal tomb at Vergina depicts Philip II of Macedon, highlighting the strength and grandeur of a ruler who unified Greece and paved the way for his son's conquests.

A few decades later, Alexander the Great appears on a gold stater minted by Lysimachus of Thrace, deified, with the horn of Ammon Zeus and the royal diadem—symbols of divine kingship and lasting influence.

These two objects reflect the Macedonian legacy of power, as expressed through art and the image of the king.

Orpheus' Death -  Orpheus, during the end of his life, worshipped no gods except the sun, whom he called Apollo.
