The ancient myth about Hercules’ expedition to the island of Erythea, his combat with Geryon and setting the Pillars was adopted by the authors of Iberian chronicles from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. The paper responds to the question of how the myth was being changed by the authors and what their political or genealogical aim related with the historical period was. The analysis of ancient sources and the comparison with chosen Iberian chronicles proves that the character of Hercules was intentionally adapted for creating old dynastic genealogies, a model of good king or founding myths of Spanish cities (as Cádiz and A Coruña). For similar reasons, Spanish colonial expansion changed also the idea of the Pillars of Hercules which were not perceived as the boundary of the Mediterranean anymore but became a gate to the New World.

The text compares Roman ludi (mainly venationes), with Spanish tauromachy. Although there is no continuoustradition there are some universal similarities in their elements. We illustrate this by means of three comparisons:between the symbolical space of bullrings and amphiteatres, between the glory of gladiators and torerosas well as its influence on the world art, and finally between the ancient and contemporary controversies thatled to a change or decline in both traditions.

This study examines the significance of the dining table as a space for gaining various kinds of experience in the journey of the royal nephew Andrzej Batory to Rome. At the courts of esteemed dignitaries, Batory assimilated Renaissance Italian dining etiquette and customs, subsequently establishing his own court, based on analogous models. The table served as a platform for diplomatic discourse, enabling the young Batory to fulfil his diplomatic obligations. Engaging in intellectual debates with prominent humanists, notably Marc-Antoine Muret, at the dinner table fostered his intellectual faculties. Moreover, the integration of music and visual arts during the sumptuous banquets attended by Italian cardinals and princes enriched Batory’s artistic sensibilities, while the introduction of novel culinary creations refined his gastronomic taste. Encounters with esteemed religious figures, including Carlo Borromeo, Claudio Acquaviva, and the Oratorian circle, coupled with such devout practices as fasting and almsgiving, as well as studying religious texts at the table, ultimately served to fortify the young Batory’s Catholic faith.

W podróży królewskiego bratanka Andrzeja Batorego do Rzymu stół stanowił przestrzeń zdobywania doświadczeń w różnych sferach. Podejmowany na dworach dygnitarzy Andrzej Batory poznawał etykietę i obyczaje stołowe renesansowych Włoch, organizując według podobnych wzorców własny dwór. Stół bywał przestrzenią prowadzenia rozmów dyplomatycznych, w czym młodzieniec realizował obowiązki poselskie. Toczone przy obiedzie dysputy z humanistami (takimi jak Marc-Antoine Muret) rozwijały jego umysłowość; muzyka i sztuki plastyczne towarzyszące ucztom z kardynałami i książętami włoskimi ubogacały gust artystyczny Batorego, a nowe potrawy – jego gust kulinarny. Spotkania z autorytetami religijnymi (Karol Boromeusz, Claudio Acquaviva, krąg oratorian), a także pobożne praktyki, jak: post, jałmużny żywieniowe i nabożne lektury przy stole, umacniały w końcu katolickie wyznanie młodzieńca.
