Category:Hippolytus hall in Archaeological Park of Madaba
Hippolytus Hall (text on site): The church of the Virgin was built above the hall of a Byzantine mansion of the first half of the 6th century. The mansion has several rooms around a courtyard with a corridor to the west. The south hall was decorated with a rich mosaic. A border of acanthus scrolls with hunting scenes frames the central field of the mosaic which is subdivided into three panels. The four scrolls in the corners are identified by cornucopias (Summer and Winter on the east side, Spring and Autumn on the west side). Of the three panels of the field of the mosaic, a central panel (damaged by construction in antiquity) shows some of the characters of the Greek tragedy of Phaedra and Hippolytus. Captions name the characters. Phaedra is assisted by handmaidens on the north, while her nurse is presenting Phaedra’s message to Hippolytus. He is accompanied by his ministers and a servant who holds his mount. In the upper panel, Aphrodite, seated on a throne next to Adonis, threatens the young Eros with her sandal. Near the entrance is a medallion in which a pair of sandals is framed by four birds. Along the eastern wall, there are personifications of three cities, Rome, Gregoria and Madaba, and two sea monsters.
