  • The Villa of the Mysteries is located just outside the gates of the city of Pompeii, and beyond its ancient necropolis. It is a large Roman villa which overlooked the sea. Inside are some of the most famous frescoes from the ancient world. heavily debated and discussed ever since the day they were uncovered. Its walls are decorated with mysterious scenes, including gods and monsters, and future architecture that would not be seen for hundreds of years. We will go through objects found inside the house, the remains of bodies from the eruption, an area for roman wine making, and try to unveil the secrets of it’s mysterious frieze, by searching for parallels to its imagery across the Roman world.

    The woman seated with her back against us is a priestess of Dionysius. The three women in similar garb are her attendants. The pregnant looking one carries a plate of sacred cakes. At the 2nd Silenis the pot being held up is full of water, and that is Dionysius looking into it at his reflection- which instead is the reflection of the mask being held up behind him. The kneeling woman lifting up the drape is revealing a ritual phallus to the winged goddess of punishment Nike who is raising her one hand trying to shelter her gaze of it and then proceeds to whip her as punishment as she kneels sobbing. Another Dionysian priestess is waving a Thrysus over her transforming her into a joyful Meinad.
    I love the Dionysian mythologies.

    Great production and narration! I visited Pompeii years ago and it is not uncommon for me to imagine these incredibly preserved frescos. I keep thinking back to The Villa of Mysteries in particular in thinking about the decorative layer above the typical meandering pattern-this layer I am interested in appears like abstract expressionism from a modern perspective, but I would say looks like an organic mold/fungus culture or some sort of geologic formation. Hoping someone has some info or links to this. Also curious to see know more about the animal pattern at the very top. 10:19

    Great video that should have more views. Perhaps a change of title and thumbnail to better express the focus of the video. Right now it just looks like any other guided tour, especially with the "4K". Maybe something like "The hidden meaning behind these Pompeii frescoes - Villa of the Mysteries" with a thumbnail showing a close-up of the theater mask. I can understand if that might be too clickbaity for you, I just hope more people see it.

    @robertfoerster566 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm sure practicality seeped into all work areas, even back then. I'd imagine the artists would be trained in the skill of the art and probably 'knew' what people often asked for and re-used popular ones. Recreating is a lot easier than a completely new image. That saved money on the client side, too. If you wanted something original....that's going to cost you. As it is today, they didn't get rich from spending it all!
