Euphrates, the god of the Euphrates River, is engraved on the floor mosaic of a shallow octagonal pool in Zeugma. In this mosaic, Euphrates is lying down on a divan. The Euphrates flows from the jug under his elbow and greenery gushes out from the soil that meets the water. He holds a branch in his left hand. His upper body is bare.
The young river god, his upper body bare, lies slightly sideways on the grass with his elbow resting on a podium. In the upper left corner there is a picture of a building with a triangular pediment and courtyard walls on both sides. This young river god must symbolize a stream (Merzimen) that provides water to the Euphrates River. This mosaic is the floor mosaic of the pool corridor.
The abundance and abundance of the Euphrates was the subject of another Zeugma mosaic. The head of Acheloos, the king of the Euphrates River, is depicted with the horn of abundance scattering nuts and fruits. Acheloos has a wing-shaped moustache. Flowers are placed in her hair and her forehead is crowned with a double cornucopia horn.
Europa was a very beautiful Syrian girl. He became legendary with his bright skin and eye-catching look. He loved entertainment and traveling. He spent all his time from morning to evening wandering around the countryside, on the seashore, with his friends. Another day like this, while he was picking flowers with his friends in one of the gardens by the sea, Zeus saw Europa. Her beauty blew the head god's mind away.
King Acrisios of Argos had a daughter named Danea. When the King of Agros applied to the temple of Danea, who wanted to have a son, he was informed that Danea would give birth to a son, but that her grandson would kill her. The King of Argos, who was alarmed, locked his daughter in a bronze-lined room to prevent her from having a relationship with any man.
In this mosaic, Dionysus, the god of wine and nature of Anatolian origin, and Nike, the goddess of victory, are seen together; Dionysus is seen in a chariot driven by Nike and pulled by two panthers.
The floor mosaic depicting the works of Daidalos was unearthed in the city of Belkıs' Zeugma, on the second settlement terrace, during the 1999 rescue excavation carried out under the direction of the Gaziantep Museum and with the participation of Nantes University. This mosaic is the floor mosaic of the dining room of a Roman villa. There are six figures in the mentioned mosaic.
The ten figures on the depiction panel are from left to right; A male figure standing and drinking from a bowl - a Menad sitting and holding a torch - a dressed female figure walking to the right and the object she is holding in her hand with her arms raised cannot be understood (due to the destruction of the mosaic in this section) with a dressed woman sitting on the throne He is depicted with loose masses of fabric waving around his bare torso.
The female figure in this mosaic, which was unearthed in 1992, when the Zeugma Excavations were not yet on the public agenda, became the symbol of Zeugma with its mysterious looks. This mosaic, whose identity could not be definitively identified in the years when it was first published, was named gypsy because the female figure in the figure resembled gypsy girls.
Adjacent to the west of the Euphrates-related deities, there is a mosaic with a bust of Demeter, the god of soil and crops, crowned with wheat ears and flowers, with a horn of fertility on her left shoulder, in a square shallow pool.
Eros, like his mother Aphrodite, brought beauty and joy to the world, burned people's hearts with the fire of love, and prepared people's happiness or doom. It had a pair of wings on its back. He would fly around the world with these wings, spreading the scent of flowers wherever he passed. Eros always had arrows in his hand.
