EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mosaic, titled "Mosaic of Orpheus," is a captivating piece of ancient art that dates back to the 3rd century AD. Discovered in Miletus, a city located in Asia Minor, this mosaic was once a decorative feature of a private Roman domus, or house, possibly serving as a dining room or triclinium. The mosaic now resides in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. The mosaic depicts the legendary Greek poet Orpheus, who was renowned for his musical talents and ability to charm both animals and mythological beasts with his lyre. In this mosaic, Orpheus is depicted in the center, wearing a Phrygian cap and holding a lyre. Surrounding him are various animals and mythological beasts, including lions, birds, and hinds, all engaged in a fight or a hunt. The intricate geometric design of the mosaic is a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the Roman craftsmen of the time. The mosaic's floor layout is reminiscent of a frieze, with the central figure of Orpheus surrounded by the dynamic scenes of animals in various stages of combat and pursuit. The mosaic's intricate details and vibrant colors have been preserved remarkably well, allowing modern viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the ancient world.
