With a little (or better, a lot) imagination, you can vividly and vividly imagine how people with wealth lived in the Mediterranean many centuries ago. This can be estimated both by the scale of the buildings on the territory of the archaeological park of Kato Paphos, and by the mosaic floors of the villa Dionysus, delivered from Alexandria, and by the picturesque views that open up (after all, for the location of the house, the landscape outside the window and the all-necessary "respectable neighbors" you will get a lot of money today for the cost of the purchased property). The guide recalled the "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece" (in our childhood they were described by Kuhn), revealing the plots, images and symbols of the mosaics. The platforms save the floors from abrasion by millions of tourists' feet, whose heads, in turn, are saved from sunstroke by awnings. And yes, Dionysus is not the name of the owner of the villa, but the god of winemaking, who most often acts as the main character of mosaic scenes. Obviously, the owner of the house, being an aesthete, knew a lot about pleasures and did not deny himself them. We will not refuse either! 🍷
