On one side of the Ambulacro is a series of apartments, whose floor illustrations reproduce scenes from Homer and other mythical episodes. Of particular interest is the triclinium , with a splendid depiction of the labours of Hercules, where the tortured monsters are ensnared by a smirking Odysseus.
To view the xystus , which you can see from the triclinium , you have to exit the building and walk around the apse.
