the mosaics of paphos by call_me_rhia
The most well-known sight, in Paphos, are its mosaics... wonderful mosaics found in a large archaeological site right next to the harbour, where the first Paphos was established. What you can see here are the mosaic floors of 3rd century AD noblemen's villas.The main sights are those of the House of Dionysos, the House of Theseus and the House of Aion - the House of Orpheus is being excavated right now, and very promising. The most impressive mosaics are those depicting scenes from Greek mythology.
In the House of Dionysus look out for the mythological mosaics (in particular of Dionysus, the god of wine) and patterned decorations. In the House of Theseus don't miss the one with Theseus killing the Minotaur. In the House of Aion it's all about beauty: theBath of Dionysus, the Beauty Contest between Cassiopia and Nereids, Leda and the Swan, The Triumphant Procession of Dionysus and Apollo and Marysyas.
