Greek Mosaics
Greek mosaics are intricate artworks made from small pieces of colored stone, glass, or ceramic, known as tesserae. These mosaics were commonly used to decorate floors, walls, and ceilings in ancient Greek homes, public buildings, and temples. They often depicted scenes from mythology, nature, or daily life, showcasing the skill and creativity of the artisans.
The technique of creating mosaics flourished during the Hellenistic period and continued into the Roman era. Notable examples can be found in archaeological sites like Pompeii and Delos. Greek mosaics not only served decorative purposes but also conveyed cultural and social messages through their imagery.
