Ημέρα της Γυναίκας.Αλήθειες και παραμύθια...

(A man holding a large bird? Where are the saints, angels and religious motifs?)

Αναρωτιόμαστε κι εμείς!"Που είναι οι άγιοι,οι άγγελοι και τα θρησκευτικά μοτίβα;"Τον 3ο-4ο αιώνα μετά...τον μισογύνη Σαούλ-Σαύλο-Παύλο;Μάλλον δεν έτυχε να περάσει από τη Σικελία!

[ Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, Sicily

Mosaics depicting bikini-clad girls exercising? A scantily clad couple very involved in each other? African animals and a boar hunt? A man holding a large bird? Where are the saints, angels and religious motifs? If you've seen the pious mosaics of of Ravenna or Palermo and are looking for more subject-matter variety, or are just interested in art or anthropology, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Villa del Casale, just outside of the Sicilian town of Piazza Armerina is worth a visit.
Built almost 2000 years ago, the ruins of this Roman villa are covered in 3500 square meters of mosaics, in fabulous condition. It's also quite an experience to walk through this huge villa and get a glimpse of upper-class life at the time. ]

Δείτε τα πανέμορφα κορίτσια με...μπικίνι!Τον 3ο-4ο αιώνα μετά;Μα τόση πια ελευθεριότης;

Με μπικίνι;Δείτε με πόση χάρη παίζουν...βόλεϊ!!!

Some of you might be interested to see a larger view of the 'bikini girls' mosaic from Wednesday's lecture; what we saw was a detail of this larger (and more formally known) "Chamber of the Ten Maidens" (Sala delle Dieci Ragazze) from the late 3rd/early 4th century AD Villa Romana del Casale (Sicilian: Villa Rumana dû Casali) in Sicily, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some sites call the mosaic ''The Coronation of the Ten Maidens", and posit that the mosaics were made by North African craftsmen. You can see details of all ten girls by clicking here.
