| Description |
English: Dionysus met Ariadne, the daughter of the king of Crete, after her lover Theseus abandoned her on the island of Naxos. This scene depicts the nuptial banquet of Dionysus and Ariadne. The couple sits in the center, surrounded by the entourage. A youth crowns Dionysus with a wreath.
A magnificent third century Roman villa was exposed on the western side of the acropolis of Sepphoris. This two-story residence contained many rooms, some paved with colorful mosaics, surrounding a central, atrium-type courtyard; columns supported its covered porticoes. The courtyard was connected by doors to a triclinium, the largest room in the building, paved with a magnificent mosaic floor. The decorated part of the floor formed the shape of the letter T, which enabled guests, reclining on couches on three sides of the room, to enjoy the many panels of the floor. They depict, in over twenty shades of colored tessarae, the life of Dionysus, Greek god of wine, and scenes of daily life connected with the rites of Dionysus. |
