PLUTO ABDUCTING PERSEPHONE is on the TOMB MOSAIC, as HERMES leads the Chariot on Completely excavated mosaic floor of the Amphipolis Tomb of Chamber # 3. So the bearded man driving the Chariot was in fact the mythical Greek god of the underworld, PLUTO. This is the myth of Pluto (Hades, mythical god of the underworld) who abducted and raped Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. A similar mosaic was found in a ROYAL TOMB as a WALL MOSAIC in Aeges. The Amphipolis Tomb Mosaic has been totally excavated but the Archaeologists state that the center of the MOSAIC has been looted since it has not been damaged or removed by the digs archaeological team members. They have no idea what was on this part of the mosaic that was is missing. The Archaeologist believe there are more chambers to be discovered but they must be patient and careful not to cause cave-ins.
