Byzantine Museum of Phthiotis, Hypati: Details from an Early Christian mosaic found in Achinos. The mosaic features mostly geometrical patterns, but also a representation of four dolphins around a gammadion. I need not say that the swastika (or gammadion in greek) was (and still is) a significant, ancient symbol appearing in multiple cultures all around the world, before its appropriation by Nazi propaganda. In Ancient Greece it can be observed as a decorational pattern throughout art, especially alongside meanders- which are associated with water.
