Translation of the lullaby by Joanna Kulmowa
PL
Motyw Herkulesa podejmowany z lubością przez artystów hiszpańskich złotego wieku pozwala postawić tezę, iż bohater ten miał pierwszorzędne znaczenie w ikonografi i sztuki hiszpańskiej. Zleceniodawcy zdobiąc swe rezydencje dziełami ukazującymi herosa, zbliżali się do prądu myśli humanistycznej największych ówczesnych ośrodków artystycznych. Ponadto propagowali za pomocą charakterystycznych cech Tebańczyka walory klas rządzących. Autorzy obrazów z przedstawieniami Herkulesa mogli natomiast sięgać po inspiracje do mitologii, omijając cenzurę. Tematyka Herkulesa stanowiła prawdziwe wyzwanie dla artystów, którzy ilustrując historie herosa, przedstawiali programy ikonograficzne dotykające jednocześnie kwestii polityki, wiary oraz historii.

Hercules Theme lovingly picked by the golden age of Spanish artists can be argued that this character was of paramount importance in the iconography of Spanish Art. Principals decorating their residences with works showing the hero, approached the current humanistic thought of the biggest contemporary art centers. In addition, through the characteristic qualities of Hercules, they propagated the values of the ruling classes. The authors of images presenting (showing) performances of Hercules were able to reach for inspiration to mythology, bypassing censorship. The subject of Hercules was a real challenge for the artists, who portrayed the hero’s stories illustrating the iconographic programs concerning, at the same time, issues of politics, faith and history.

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 author discusses Norwid’s connections with Provence in four aspects. The first of them are Provencal motifs in the poet’s biography: his journey to the south of France in 1858, Norwid’s brothers, Ludwik and Ksawery, moving houses to Provence, presentation of Norwid’s etchings at an exhibition in Nîmes in 1865. The second part of the article inscribes the image of Provence shown in Norwid’s works into the context of Mediterranean myths and the culture of northern France on the basis of conclusions drawn from Notes on Mythology and Orbis Album that he had read. In the third part the motif of Marseille proves especially significant, as the ancient Massalia is – which can be seen in Quidam and in the lectures on Juliusz Słowacki – a representation of the space of exile – it became the place to which Norwid’s important protagonists (like St Madeleine) were exiled. In the myth founding the town there is a clash between the idea of freedom and the vision of the world-prison. The fourth part of the article brings an interpretation of the Civilization “legend”, taking into consideration Provence contexts: the idea of putting forward Arles’ and Nîmes’ candidatures for the status of authority centers of the 19th century France.

La storia delle dodici fatiche di Eracle, come molte altre della mitologia greca, ha subito vari cambiamenti da quando le prime trasmissioni di Esiodo hanno contribuito a consolidare gli elementi essenziali del mito e le sue caratteristiche. Con la traslazione dei miti dallʼIberia caucasica a quella occidentale, sono stati trasferiti anche alcuni luoghi, personaggi ed eventi associati al posto. Sono state ricollocate le Isole Fortunate, il Giardino delle Esperidi, il luogo della decima e dellʼundicesima fatica di Eracle, e sono stati identificati e interpretati lʼorigine e il significato dei pilastri eretti dallʼeroe. Lʼobiettivo di questo articolo è mostrare come uno di questi miti, quello di Eracle e Gerione, sia stato plasmato in epoca classica e successiva. Verrà analizzata la trasformazione di tre elementi di questo mito: la sua collocazione, la figura di Gerione e la descrizione delle fatiche di Ercole.

The story of Herculesʼ achievements, like many others in Greek mythology, has undergone various changes since Hesiodʼs early transmissions helped to consolidate the essential elements of the myth and its characteristics. With the translocation of myths from Caucasian Iberia to Western Iberia, certain places, characters and events associated with the land were also transferred. The Fortunate Islands, the Garden of Hesperides, the place of the 10th and 11th labours of Hercules have been relocated, and the origin and meaning of the pillars set up by the hero have been identified and interpreted. The aim of this article is to show how one of these myths, namely that of Hercules and Geryon, was shaped in the classical and later periods. The transformation of three elements of this myth will be analysed: its location, the figure of Geryon and the description of Herculesʼ achievements.
