I-Giant Geryon
Ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki uGeryon waziwa njengendodana kaChrysaor noCallírroe, futhi wayengumzukulu kaNkulunkulu uPoseidon kanye negama lesiGreki elithi Oceanus. UGeryon wayaziwa nangokuthi iNkosi esiqhingini sase-Eritia, esasisentshonalanga yoLwandle iMedithera. Lapho, wagqama njengenkosi yempucuko yaseTartessos. Ngemva kokufa kwakhe wathathelwa indawo uGargoris odumile.
UGeryon wachazwa njengesidalwa esinomzimba we-anthropomorphic, owakhiwa imizimba emithathu ndawonye. Lapho yayinamakhanda amathathu, nakuba abaningi babethi nayo inemilenze eyisithupha nezandla eziyisithupha futhi inamaphiko. Kodwa into enhle abayenza ngomdondoshiya uGeryon yilapho emelwe khona ngomzimba owodwa onemilenze emibili kanti ukusuka okhalweni kuya phezulu unemizimba emithathu enezandla eziyisithupha namakhanda amathathu.
INkosi uGerión yayihlala kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi isiqhingi sase-Eritia, okwakuyiqoqo leziqhingi elaliseGaideras, okwamanje eyaziwa ngokuthi iCádiz, isifundazwe saseSpain. Ngokwezinganekwane zamaGreki, lesi siqhingi sasitholakala ngale kweziNsika zeHercules entshonalanga yoLwandle LwaseMedithera.
Ngendlela efanayo kuyaqinisekiswa ukuthi umdondoshiya uGeryon wayengumzukulu kaMedusa, yingakho wayenamandla amakhulu. Kwezinye izinganekwane, umdondoshiya uGeryon uchazwa njengomzimba owakhiwe abazalwane abathathu ababebumbene, kodwa ababephila ngokuzwana futhi beshukunyiswa umphefumulo owodwa. Kodwa wabuye wakhonjwa njengedemoni le-chthonic lokufa. Njengoba yayibheke ngasentshonalanga kakhulu.
Ukubonakala kukaGeryon kwakungokweqhawe njengoba wayehlala ephethe izigqoko zakhe nezingubo ezilungele ukulwa. Umdondoshiya uGeryon wayengumnikazi womhlambi wezinkomo ezibomvu obaluleke kakhulu owawugadwe inja yakhe egada i-Ortro kanye nomalusi u-Euritión.
Ortro inja kaGeryon
Kuthiwa inja u-Ortro kwakuyinja eyayivikela umhlambi womdondoshiya uGeryon. Lokho kwanakekelwa nangumalusi ogama lakhe lingu-Euritión. Inja u-Ortro ungumfowabo kaCerberus, ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki u-Ortro uchazwa njengenja enkulu eyayinamakhanda amabili namazinyo amakhulu, abukhali futhi iyindodana ka-Edquina, inyofe esabekayo eneSiphepho esaziwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu weziphepho indodana yokugcina kaGoddess Gea.
Umnikazi wokuqala wenja ye-Ortro wayengumGreki owaziwa kakhulu i-titan Atlas owamgcina isikhathi eside. Kodwa kamuva kwadingeka ayinike uGeryon, owayigcina esiqhingini sase-Eritia nomalusi u-Eurytion ukuze anakekele umhlambi ohlonishwayo wezinkomo ezibomvu nezinkabi okwakungezakwaGeryon.
Umsuka Wezinkomo ZakwaGeryon
Ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki kuthiwa lapho ilanga likhanyisa umlaza weGemini. Itholakala nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi umlaza i-Auriga. Izinkolo eziningi zasendulo zinenkolelo yokuthi indlela ilanga elihamba ngayo esibhakabhakeni. NguNkulunkulu iLanga eqondisa inqola yomlilo. Yingakho indlela ilanga elihamba ngayo minyaka yonke yenziwa ngemoto okuthiwa i-Auriga.
Ezinganekwaneni zamaGreki kukhona olunye ulwazi. Lapho kubhekwa ukuthi ilanga lisebenzisa ingilazi ukuze likwazi ukuwela isibhakabhaka. Ngale ndlela kuthiwa kunendawo yesibhakabhaka lapho kungekho zinkanyezi noma kunzima kakhulu ukuyibona futhi amaGreki asendulo aqinisekisa ukuthi kwakuwugwadule emkhathini. Yingakho indaba yezinkomo zikaGeryon yayidinga ugwadule olukhulu futhi amaGreki abhekisela ogwadule lwaseLibya. Ngoba iyindawo enkulu ewugwadule.
Yingakho iMilky Way yabhapathizwa amaGreki "njengebala elikhulu lobisi elinqamula isibhakabhaka”. Amanye amaGreki asendulo athi ayekwazi ukubona inkanyezi ngayinye kuyi-Milky Way futhi ayebukeka njengomhlambi wezinkomo futhi ubisi olukhiqizwa yilezi zilwane lwaluvala izikhala phakathi kwazo.
Kunenkanyezi eyaziwa ngokuthiI-Chapel” eyingxenye yomlaza i-Auriga. Kuyaziwa ngokuthi inkanyezi kamalusi, lapha izazi zefilosofi eziningi zamaGreki zithi u-Auriga ungumalusi oshayela inqola yomlilo. Abuye athwale imbuzi ehlombe langakwesokunxele. Nakuba inkanyezi ye-Capella ingaphandle kwe-Milky Way, iyinkanyezi eseduze kakhulu ne-Milky Way.
Ngesikhathi sisemlaza weGemini, kukhona umlaza weCanis Major, owenza sengathi uyawuvikela. Lokhu kubhekiselwa ku-bicephalous dog Ortro okwakungeye-giant Gerión. Ngalendlela efanayo, umlaza omkhulu we-Orion uvela emkhathini. Njengoba inezinkanyezi eziningana ezibonakala kuwo womabili ama-hemispheres weplanethi enguMhlaba.
AmaGreki asendulo ayebheka umlaza we-Orion njengomdondoshiya omkhulu lapho kwakungahlukaniswa khona imizimba emithathu ephelele eyayihlangene okhalweni. Njengoba i-geryon enkulu ichazwa ngokukhethekile, kodwa yayinesici emilenzeni eyayisezindaweni ezihlukene kakhulu futhi emidwebeni eyenziwe, izingalo ezintathu ziboniswa esikhundleni sezimbili. Kusukela owesibili nowesithathu babelana ngehlombe elingakwesokudla.
I-Hercules kanye Nomsebenzi Weshumi
UNkulunkulu uZeyusi ukhulelisa u-Alcmene, owesifazane ofayo okwathi ngemva kokubeletha waba unina kankulunkulu u-Hercules futhi UNkulunkulu uZeus wamemezela ukuthi ingane elandelayo eyayizalwa endlini kaPerseus yayiyoba iNkosi. Umfazi kaNkulunkulu uZeus. U-Hera ezwa la mazwi wacasuka futhi wenza u-Eurystheus azalwe ezinyangeni ezimbili ngaphambi kukaHercules. Njengoba lokhu nakho kwakungokwendlu kaPerseus.
Ukuba Ama-Hercules Abadala. Unkulunkulukazi uHera umkaZeus wavusa uhlanya. Ngenxa yalesi simo u-Hercules wabulala umkakhe nezingane kanye nabashana ababili. Lapho u-Hercules ebuyisa ingqondo yakhe, wazizwa edabukile ngenxa yezenzo ezimbi ayezenzile futhi wanquma ukuzihlukanisa nezwe futhi waqala ukuhlala yedwa emazweni asendle.
Ngemva kokuchitha isikhathi esithile u-Hercules watholwa umfowabo u-Iphicles owancoma ukuthi avakashele i-Oracle yaseDelphi.
U-Hercules wavakashela i-Oracle yaseDelphi futhi i-Delphic Sibyl yafaka isijeziso kuye ngesenzo esibi asenza ngokumelene nomndeni wakhe. Isijeziso okwakufanele asifeze kwakuwukuthi kwakufanele enze uchungechunge lwemisebenzi eyalelwe iNkosi u-Eurystheus. Lona nguye owayethathe ilungelo lakhe lomqhele wokuzalwa kuqala kunoHercules futhi noHercules wamzonda ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke.
Inkosi u-Eurystheus nayo eyayimzonda uHercules yamnika isethi yemisebenzi okwakunzima kakhulu ukuyinqoba, ngisho noHercules kwadingeka abeke ukuphila kwakhe engozini ukuze akwazi ukwenza imisebenzi eyishumi nambili. Nakuba u-Hercules ngekhono lakhe nobuqili bakhe wakwazi ukuxazulula izinkinga eziphambi kwakhe, umsebenzi weshumi wawuhlanganisa ukuyokweba izinkomo zikaGeryon.
Emsebenzini weshumi uHercules okwakumelwe awufeze kwakuwukweba izinkomo nezinkunzi ezibomvu okwakungezona inunu enkulu eyaziwa ngokuthi iGeryon eyayihlala esiqhingini sase-Eritia (manje esaziwa ngokuthi isifundazwe saseCádiz eSpain) .
Endabeni kaHercules umdondoshiya uGeryon Geryon uvezwa njengomdondoshiya onobuntu. Kodwa kusukela okhalweni kuya phezulu wenziwe imizimba emithathu, umzimba ngamunye unamalungu awo namakhanda ngokulandelana kwawo. Kodwa unomphefumulo owodwa kuphela. Kwezinye izinguqulo zendaba kaHercules, uGeryon umelwe ngendlela efanayo, kuphela ukuthi babeka amaphiko kuye futhi wayenamandla okundiza.
Isiqhingi sase-Eritia sasingaphezu kweziNsika zeHercules. OLwandle iMedithera. Izinkomo ezibomvu okwakungeyemdondoshiya uGeryon zazigadwe inja kaGeryon eyaziwa ngegama elithi Other inja eyayinamakhanda amabili nomugqa wamazinyo abukhali kakhulu le nja yayingumfowabo kaCerberus inja yeGod Hade.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinkomo ezibomvu zaseGeryon zazinakekelwa ngumalusi u-Eurytion. Uhambo uHercules okwakufanele aluthathe ukuze afeze umsebenzi weshumi okwakuwukweba izinkomo zikaGeryon. Lolo hambo lwaluyingozi kakhulu njengoba kwakudingeka abhekane nezidalwa ezihlukahlukene futhi eStrait of Gibraltar wamisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi Izinsika ZaseHercules.
Ngemva kokuchitha izinsuku ezimbalwa ohambweni lwakhe olude, u-Hercules wayekhathele kakhulu ngenxa yokushisa okungabekezeleleki, ngakho wathatha omunye wemicibisholo yakhe wadubula uHelios. U-Helios wamangala ngendlela u-Hercules anesibindi ngayo futhi wamvuza ngokumnika inkomishi yakhe yegolide ayeyisebenzisa ukuzulazula olwandle esuka empumalanga eya entshonalanga njalo ebusuku. Ngale ndlela, u-Hercules wasebenzisa leyo nkomishi ukuze akwazi ukufinyelela esiqhingini sase-Eritia ngokushesha futhi akwazi ukweba izinkomo ezibomvu ku-Geryon omkhulu.
Lapho ekugcineni u-Hercules ekwazi ukufinyelela esiqhingini sase-Eritia, wahlangana nenja Enye okwakungeye-Geryon futhi eyayiphethe ukuqapha umhlambi obomvu oyigugu kaGeryon. Lapho kwaqubuka impi enzima phakathi kuka-Hercules nenja u-Ortro, kodwa u-Hercules wabulala inja u-Ortro kuwo womabili amakhanda ambulala ngaso leso sikhathi.
Ngemuva kwalokho kudingeke ukuthi abhekane nomelusi u-Eurytion nakuba le mpi ibilula kakhulu kwazise umbulele ngenxeba elilodwa. Umdondoshiya uGeryon ezwa ihlazo elinjalo waya ukuyobona ukuthi kwenzekani kodwa njengoba wayehlale eyilungele impi wafaka izigqoko zakhe ezintathu wathatha imikhonto yakhe emithathu namahawu.
Umdondoshiya uGeryon kwadingeka ajahe uHercules emfuleni i-Antemus, lapho impi yayinzima kuHercules noGeryon. Njengoba bobabili babenamandla amakhulu. Nakuba indaba itshelwa ukuthi lena enye yezimpi ezinzima kunazo zonke uHercules aba nazo kusukela umdondoshiya uGeryon usizwa unkulunkulukazi uHera, umkaZeus. U-Hercules, ebona isimo esenzeka, unquma ukudubula umcibisholo kunkulunkulukazi uHera, olimaza isifuba sakhe sokunene.
Ngaleso sikhathi impi phakathi kukaGeryon noHercules iqala ukulinganisa ngokuvuna iqhawe. Unquma futhi ukudubula umcibisholo onoshevu wegazi le-hydra enobuthi e-geryon enkulu, ewela phansi igobe intamo yaso ohlangothini olulodwa njengopopi, yonakalise amafomu ayo abucayi futhi ilahlekelwa i-petal ngayinye ngesikhathi.
Ngemva kokufa kukaGeryon empini emelene noHercules, Kumele agcwalise umsebenzi futhi alethe izinkomo ezibomvu zikaGeryon eNkosini u-Eurystheus. Ngenkathi u-Hercules eqondisa izinkomo zikaGeryon. Anqume ukuphumula ukuze abuyise amandla. Kodwa ngesikhathi elele umdondoshiya uCacus weba izilwane ezimbalwa emhlambini kaGeryon.
Umdondoshiya uCaco wenza izinkomo ezibomvu zihambe zihlehle ukuze zingasolisi kodwa uHercules uyaqaphela aqale afune izinkomo ezebiwe athole udadewabo kaCaco umdondoshiya, ambuze ngezinkomo aphendule ukuthi uCaco unazo bese emtshela. indawo yakhe. U-Hercules unquma ukuya kuleyo ndawo, abulale i-Cacus enkulu futhi alulame izinkomo zikaGeryon.
Unkulunkulukazi uHera, ngokufutheka okukhulu, wathumela izimpukane ukuba zilume izinkomo zikaGeryon futhi uHercules wathatha unyaka ukuzihlanganisa ukuze aziyise eNkosini u-Eurystheus.
Uma uthole le ndatshana mayelana ne-Giant Geryon ibalulekile, ngikumema ukuthi uvakashele izixhumanisi ezilandelayo:
