Author
Gnosis, whose signature is found on the work, or simply an anonymous ancient Macedonian artist
Description
A deer hunt, detail from the mosaic floor signed Gnosis in the 'House of the Abduction of Helen' at Pella, Greece (ancient Macedonia), late 4th century BC, Pella Archaeological Museum. Signed "Gnosis made it". The figure on the right is possibly Alexander the Great due to the date of the mosaic along with the depicted upsweep of his centrally-parted hair (anastole); the figure on the left wielding a double-edged axe (associated with Hephaistos) is perhaps Hephaestion, one of Alexander's loyal companions. For further infromation, see Chugg, Andrew (2006). Alexander's Lovers. Raleigh, N.C.: Lulu. ISBN 978-1-4116-9960-1, pp 78-79.
Date late 4th century BC
