Illustration
The Stag Hunt Mosaic signed by Gnosis, from the House of the Abduction of Helen in Pella (Macedon, Greece), late 4th century BCE. The figure on the right is possibly Alexander the Great due to the date of this mosaic. The figure to the left wields a double-headed axe, likely alluding to Hephaistos. The dog depicted is possibly Peritas, Alexander's favorite dog.
