Antechamber of the North Master Apartment (37)3D Model
This room can be accessed from the ambulatory of the “Great Hunt” mosaic. It has a square plan with the function of anteroom and hallway for the other rooms of the apartment, and is hypothesized that it was intended solely for the Domina, or for the eldest son of the Dominus, or even used by the landlord as a private studio. The mosaic, bordered by a double braided frame enclosed by serrated bands, depicts Odysseus (Ulysses) in the cave of the cyclops Polyphemus. This section is narrated in Book IX of the Odyssey and represents the moment in which Odysseus, wearing the large red cloak and a short tunic, is offering a cup of his best wine to Polyphemus in order to get him drunk and later to blind the cyclops while sleeping.
