MYKONOS DELOS THE DIONYSOS RIDING PANTHER MOSAIC

CLICK TO VIEW ACTUAL PHOTO SIZE

The most famous of all the mosaics on Delos is that of Dionysus riding a panther. This is found in the completely intact House of the Masks (named for another mosaic featuring theater masks). Several rooms in this building contain large sections of the original wall decoration as well as mosaics covering the entire floor. It is difficult to tell from the distance you're forced to remain from it, but this mosaic is so incredibly detailed that there are over 100 stones in the eye of the panther alone. The building itself was probably a hostel for actors.
