Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe House of the Abduction of Helen, 325-300 B.C., two rooms with pebble mosaics, Ancient Pella (6913882314).jpg |
The House of the Abduction of Helen has an area of 2,350 square meters and occupies the entire width of a building block. The main courtyard with a doric colonnade is very large, 500 square meters, and there is a fountain at the south-east corner. There was a upper storey, as is clear from the staircase by which is was reached and the architectural remains. Three andrones have been preserved next to each other in the north part of the house. The floor of the first room to the east is adorned with a mosaic depicting a deer hunt, surrounded by a border of running dogs, composite floral motif. The mosaicist responsible for the composition signed the work. The floor of the neighbouring room is decorated with the representation of the Abduction of Helen by Theseus. The figures are identified by inscriptions. A four-horsed chariot is depicting at the lelf and the charioteer, Phorbas. Theseus has seized Helen, who holds out her arms to her friend Dianeira. On the east side of the house there were three continuous rooms. The one in the center was probably an antechamber and has a mosaic floor depicting a battle of Greeks and Amazons. The main scene is enclosed by two broads bands of boars and panthers, palmettes and lotus flowers. The construction of the house is dated in 325-300 B.C. |
