Alexander the Great, Stag Hunt, 4th century BC

The Stag Hunt mosaic (300 BC) by Gnosis is a mosaic from a wealthy home of the late 4th century BC, the "House of the Abduction of Helen" in Pella, the capital of the Macedonian Kingdom. The figure on the right is possibly Alexander the Great due to the date of this mosaic along with the depicted upsweep of the hair. Pella is also the birthplace of Alexander. The figure to the left wields a double-headed axe, likely alluding to Hephaistos; meaning the figure depicted could be the general Hephaestion. The dog depicted is possibly Peritas accompanying Alexander. The mosaic is a pebble mosaic with stones collected from beaches and riverbanks which were set into cement. Archeological Museum of Pella.
