点评:The House of the Lake was built around the second century BC. Two generations of the same family lived here before it was destroyed by fire in 69BC.
It’s one of several ancient houses on the island of Delos which have detailed and intact floor mosaics, every bit as good as at Pompeii.
It is the first of the grand, private residences that you see if you follow the Walking Trail with the blue arrows. It is located opposite The Sacred Lake.
The centrepiece is the floor mosaic, featuring a black, white and red rosette which is bordered by rows of wave-like patterns.
The other notable feature are is the central colonnaded courtyard. Like most houses of this time, the rooms were all built around this courtyard and faced in towards it. Many of the columns remain standing. One still retains its scroll and stands proudly above the ruins of the wall.
Whilst we couldn’t walk through the house (wooden gates block the entrances), you can get a very good, close-up view of the mosaics.
There are three different viewing points which give you slightly different angles.
There’s also a board with good detailed information and pictures of statuettes that were found inside the house.
It is worth noting that the mosaic here is not as elaborate as at other Delos houses. More complex and detailed examples can be found closer to the theatre, at the House of Dolphins, the House of Masks and the House of Dionysus.

它是提洛岛上几座古老的房屋之一,拥有细致完整的地板马赛克,每一处都与庞贝城的一样好。
如果您沿着带有蓝色箭头的步道行走,您会看到第一座宏伟的私人住宅。它位于圣湖对面。
中心装饰是地板马赛克,有一个黑色、白色和红色的玫瑰花结,周围有一排波浪状图案。
另一个显着的特点是中央柱廊庭院。和这个时期的大多数房子一样,房间都是围绕这个庭院建造的,面向庭院。许多柱子仍然矗立着。其中一个仍然保留着它的卷轴,并自豪地矗立在城墙废墟之上。
虽然我们无法穿过房子(木门挡住了入口),但您可以近距离观察马赛克。
三个不同的观察点为您提供略有不同的角度。
还有一块木板,上面有详细的信息和在房子内发现的小雕像的图片。
值得注意的是,这里的马赛克并不像其他提洛岛房屋那样精致。更复杂和详细的例子可以在靠近剧院的海豚之家、面具之家和狄俄尼索斯之家找到。
