Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: In 2019 this was named the Theonoe mosaic, it's from the 2nd-3rd century AD, from the Kointos Villa in Zeugma. For more, there is an article “SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE THEONOE MOSAIC FROM ZEUGMA, by Pascale Linant de Bellefonds, Kutalmis Gorkay, Evelyne Brunet-Prioux” on the web.
I was informed by a knowledgeable viewer: The figure wearing a mask is identified as Theonoe, and next to her is a nurse (Trophos). The text on the altar says, "Kointos Kalpournios Eutuchês epoiei", that is, "Quintus Calpurnius Eutyches made [it]". This refers to the name of the drama the mosaic represents (cf. Menander's plays Perikeiromene and Theophoroumene). Theonoe was a priestess, a character in Euripides' play Helen, and a figure in a complex comic plot, to which the mosaic here may refer. I seem to recall the mosaic had been damaged by fire, hence the discoloration. |
