Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mosaic from 2nd-3rd century AD, from the House of the Maenad. It was found in a chamber next to that where the Gypsy Girl mosaic was discovered in 1998. Acratos (“ruler, narrator”) offers holy wine taken from a divine fountain from a golden crater to the nymph Euprocyne (“joyful and elater”). The Acratos and Euphrosine mosaic was a floor mosaic in a dining room. Acratos is a god symbolizing men who easily fall for women. She is one of the daughters of Zeus and symbolizes "things nice". Over the years I tried getting the colours right, the museum changed lights all the time.
