Summary[edit]
DescriptionGaziantep Zeugma Museum Andromeda mosaic 1870.jpg |
English: From Enc. Brit.: Perseus was the son of Zeus and Danaë, the daughter of Acrisius of Argos. As an infant he was cast into the sea in a chest with his mother by Acrisius, to whom it had been prophesied that he would be killed by his grandson. A [..] deed attributed to Perseus was his rescue of the Ethiopian princess Andromeda when he was on his way home with Medusa's head. Andromeda's mother, Cassiopeia, had claimed to be more beautiful than the sea nymphs, or Nereid ; so Poseidon had punished Ethiopia by flooding it and plaguing it with a sea monster. An oracle informed Andromeda's father, King Cepheus, that the ills would cease if he exposed Andromeda to the monster, which he did. Perseus, passing by, saw the princess and fell in love with her. He turned the sea monster to stone by showing it Medusa's head and afterward married Andromeda. |

I have a large collection of pictures, some taken at the old museum, some of the same mosaics, but in the new museum. During my several visits (at least 6) almost each time light conditions had changed, and correcting for that is not always satisfactory, let alone getting the corrections the same for each picture of each mosaic. I disliked in particular how in the new museum led-spotlights were often used (a nasty development in many museums, not just in Turkey). I suppose they are efficient, but they give notable highlight spots that sometimes cannot be corrected for. I found they also vary in light temperature. Another annoyance is that in the new museum many mosaics are laid on a floor or a slightly raised platform, without offering a point of view from which to take a picture that, after maybe some perspective correction, looked natural. So in some cases I had to guess the amount of foreshortening that I had to correct.
