[Arakhor]

Wrong thread, I think.

 

[Kyriakos]

Wrong thread, I think.

Hey, there is well-established precedent of posting videos in these threads

 

[cardgame]

My holy grail has been found

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Now that's a reflection!

 

[Samez]

Nice- is it taken somewhere around Salt Lake City?

 

[Kyriakos]

One of the mosaics at Delos:

 

[Arakhor]

I suppose that it's some sort of great cat, a leopard emerging from a cave perhaps.

 

[Mongoloid Cow]

Don't forgot his pineapple.

 

[Kyriakos]

I suppose that it's some sort of great cat, a leopard emerging from a cave perhaps.

It is part of mosaics about Dionysos. Two other ones have him using leopards as horses.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Don't forgot his pineapple.

Pineapples are a new world plant that were brought back to Europe by Columbus. So, either that is not a pineapple in the mosaic or we have an interesting anomaly.

 

[Kyriakos]

^It likely is the cloth fixed to the leopard so Dionysos can be a little more comfortable

 

[Arakhor]

It does look a lot like a fruit.

 

[Snerk]

That's why leopards learned to climb trees.

 

[bernie14]

leopards learned to climb trees for the pineapples?

could it be part of dionysus pine cone staff or more proof of ancient aliens

 

[shadowplay]

most likely grapes. Dionysus = wine

 

[Birdjaguar]

I think that more of the green has been cut from the bottom and the original design looked like this: oooo::::ooo

 

[warpus]

Nice- is it taken somewhere around Salt Lake City?

Maybe I'm wrong, but that looks a lot like the salt flats in Bolivia

 

[Arakhor]

most likely grapes. Dionysus = wine

That does seem far more likely.

 

[Kyriakos]

Another of the artworks at Delos, Dionysos riding a leopard:

 

[Arakhor]

Apparently sporting a small pair of wings too.
