Places to visit in Пафос. Languages: ru, he, en

In this house floor mosaics and partly frescoes are preserved. Plots of the mosaics - Cassiopeo's beauty match with nereids (by the way they say it was in Yafo - that near Tel Aviv 😊) another mosaic tells about the famous Leda - the Spartan queen charmed by Zeus, who in the image of a swan hurried to steal it. From this marriage, Helen the Beautiful was born and the Dioscuri twins. The third story depicted in the mosaic is the contest between Marcia and Apollo in the flute game. The young man played the ray of god, but god could not allow such, especially as the god Apollo. Here Marsyus died a martyr's death. How, nevertheless, the Greek gods are endowed with human vices!
