Ancient mosaic floor with satyrs uncovered in Eretria, Evia
Ancient mosaic floor with saty

A section of a Late Classical-period house (mid-4th century BC) featuring a mosaic floor with a central depiction of two satyrs was discovered during the installation of a new water pipeline in Eretria, Evia. According to the Ministry of Culture, the building is located in the heart of the ancient city, near Temple of Apollo Daphniforos and other notable sites.

The mosaic, made of natural pebbles, shows two satyrs-one playing a double flute and the other, an older bearded figure, possibly dancing. The mosaic's detailed use of colored pebbles adds realism to the depiction. The room, initially used for festivities, was later repurposed as a cemetery in the early Christian era. To protect the mosaic, the local Monument Council has recommended temporarily covering it and rerouting the pipeline.
