Summary
[edit]DescriptionVindobona Hoher Markt Pano.jpg |
Deutsch: Kyknosrelief. 2./3. Jh. Kalksandstein. Gefunden Wien 3/10, Arsenal, 1890. Dauerleihgabe Kunsthistorisches Museum. 1890 wurden beim Arsenal spätantike Steinkistengräber entdeckt. Auf Grund der Darstellungen und der Monumentalität der Steinplatten ist anzunehmen, dass diese zuvor an großen öffentlichen Bauten angebracht waren. Die Steinsärge sind wahrscheinlich noch in der Antike ausgeraubt worden. Davon zeugen Brandspuren und das große Loch, das die Grabräuber hineingesprengt haben.
Die Szene aus dem Relief, das möglicherweise von einem Tempel stammt, erlaubt einen Einblick in den griechischen Heraklesmythos. Der Held hat soeben den Riesen Kyknos erschlagen, dessen Vater Ares/Mars stürmt herbei, um seinen Tod zu rächen. Dem Herakles steht Athena/Minerva helfend zur Seite. In der Originalversion des Mythos schreitet Zeus/Jupiter schlichtend ein. Aprhodite/Venus gesellt sich zu Mars. Hier aber wird in der Bildmitte Jupiter von Merkur ersetzt, Diana nimmt den Platz von Venus ein. Merkur wurde in ehemals keltischen Gebieten besonders verehrt und mit Jupiter gleichgesetzt.
English: Cygnus-Relief, 2nd/3rd century A.D. Lime sandstone.
In 1890, late antique coffins made of stone slabs were discovered at the Arsenal. Because of the depictions and monumentality of the stone plates, it is likely that these were once attached to large public buildings. The stone coffins may have possibly been robbed already in ancient times. Scorch marks, and a big hole that was blasted by tomb raiders, are evidence of this. The scene on this relief, that possibly originated from a temple, allows an insight into the Greek myth of Heracles. The hero has just slain the giant Cygnus, whose father Ares/Mars is now raging to avenge his death. Athena/Minerva is on Heracles's side to help. In the original version of the myth, Zeus/Jupiter steps in to mediate. Aphrodite/Venus joins Mars. In this depiction, Jupiter has been replaced by Mercury. Dianda takes the place of Venus. Mercury was especially worshipped in formerly Celtic regions and was equated here with Jupiter. |
