A mosaic floor dated to the second century B.C. has been discovered near the monumental fountain in the ancient city of Side, according to a Hürriyet Daily News report. The harbor city, located on the southern coast of Anatolia, dates back to the seventh century B.C. A figure at the center of the mosaic depicts Calliope, a muse who inspired epic poets. The room where the mosaic was uncovered was also decorated with frescoes on its walls.
New statue of Aphrodite discovered in Turkey. People thought it was originally meant for a nymph. It was found this year around February. Greek art is so beautiful.
I find it really admirable how detailed Greek art is and how they can last this long in such beautiful condition. I hope one day, if it wasn't burnt like some theories say it was, the real Athena Parthenos is found. Just to see something that old in beautiful condition would be amazing.
