Under the Noses of IS


 

A stunning ancient Greek floor mosaic was just excavated in Zeugma, southern Turkey near the Syrian border. It is about 2200 years old and depicts the Nine Muses of Greek arts and sciences, who are said to have inspired all who engaged in those endeavors.  They were the daughters of Zeus, lord of all gods, and Mnemosyne, who represented memory.
