Talk:Apollo Sauroctonos

Lizard killer?
Sounds more like "lizard stabber". Can anyone translate the -tonos suffix? 70.179.20.157 (talk) 01:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Mosaic is Dionysos not Apollo
The mosaic looks like it depicts Dionysos, not Apollo: panther, hunting boots, thyrsos, grapevine coming out of a wine vessel. And Dionysos has the epithet Kolotes, "Lizard." 157.131.79.138 (talk) 12:45, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
