Kumanqaku angaphambili besithetha ngamakroza kunye nendlela anokuchongwa ngayo. Besithetha ngezizathu zokuba inikwe amagama kwaye phakathi kwabo kwathiwa bavela kwiintsomi nakwimbali. Kule meko, siza kuthetha ngentsomi eyakhokelela kwigama leenkwenkwezi. Imalunga ne Perseus. Kule nqaku siza kukuxelela lonke ibali elivelisa eli gama kwaye kutheni kugqitywe ukuyibeka kwikroza leenkwenkwezi.
Ngaba unomdla kwaye ufuna ukwazi ibali likaPerseus kunye neAndromeda? Qhubeka ufunda kwaye unokukufumanisa.
Imvelaphi
Eli bali liqala ngo-Acrisio, ukumkani waseArgos. Le ndoda yatshata noAganipe kwaye yanentombi eyayibiza ngokuba nguDanae. Ngokungabinabo abantwana abangamadoda (ngelo xesha abesilisa yayingabo babezuza njengelifa ubukhosi kwaye, ke ngoko, isidingo sokuvela kwendoda) u-Acrisius wabuza i-oracle ukuba angaba nomntwana na kwaye iya kuba yindoda. Aphendule wathi ngekhe abe nabantwana abaninzi. Kwimpendulo, u-Acrisio waba lusizi, kuba Akayi kuba nakhetho ngaphandle kokuvumela uDanae ukuba alidle ilifa itrone emva kolawulo lwakhe.
Ukuyikhupha phezulu, ebengonelanga ziindaba zokuba akazukuba namntwana, kodwa endaweni yoko u-oracle wamxelela umzukulwana wakhe wayeza kumbulala. Kwenzeka njani ukuba unyana kaDanae amgwebe ngohlobo lokuba ambulale? Ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuba yinto yokuziphindezela ngokungakhathali okunikwa kwintombi yakhe ngokungabi yinkwenkwe. UAcrisio akazange ahlale phantsi aze ayivale intombi yakhe ukuze kuthintelwe le ntlekele.
Isisele awayegcinwe kuso sasineentsimbi zobhedu kwaye wayegadwe zizinja zasendle ezazingamvumeli abaleke. UZeyus ngelo xesha wayenguthixo woothixo owayehlala eOlimpus. Kwingxaki ka-Acrisio, uZeus wathandana noDanae, intombi yakhe. Ukuba nguthixo woothixo, akukho mntu wayenokuphikisana nezigqibo zakhe kwaye wakwazi ukumkhupha entolongweni. Wambesa ngegolide waza wamenza unyana wakhe ogama linguPerseus. Le yindlela azalwe ngayo umlinganiswa wethu ophambili.
UPerseus, unyana kaZeyus
U-Acrisio woyikisela ubomi bakhe kuba, engekhe abe nabantwana abaninzi, kodwa umzukulwana wakhe uPerseus wayeza kumbulala ngokwe-oracle. Ukuthintela ukuba angabulawa, waphinda wenza into yakhe kwaye ngokufihlakeleyo wayivalela intombi yakhe kunye nomzukulwana wakhe esiqwini wamphosa elwandle. Ngale ndlela, kwaqinisekiswa ukuba imisinga yeelwandle nolwandle iyabuphelisa ubomi baba bantu bamsulwa.
Esi siqobo sahamba sade safika eSerifos Island, apho umlobi wayehlala khona owakwaziyo ukuyifumana kwaye wabahlangula bobabini. Ukumkani wesiqithi apho baphelela khona wabamkela ekhayeni lakhe kwaye babenakho ukuphola kuhambo lokukhukuliseka. Ngokuchasene noko uAcrisio wayecinga, umama nonyana baphumelela kweso siqithi kuba, Iipolydectes, Inkosi yesiqithi yathandana noDanae kwaye xa ixesha lidlulile wayecinga ukumtshata.
Umsebenzi wePerseus
Le kumkani yayifuna ukususa unyana kaDanae kuba wayengenayo imali kwaye engenakwenza ngathi uzakutshata umfazi ohluphekileyo. Ke wabhengeza ebantwini ukuba uzimisele ukutshata umfazi osisityebi kwaye wathumela wonke umntu ukuba eze nezipho, awothi emva koko azinike oyena mfazi wakhe. Wathumela uPerseus kwimishini yokuzibulala. Injongo yayiquka yiza nentloko kaGorgon Medusa. Ezi jellyfish zazinokukwazi ukujika nabani na ojonga emehlweni abo ukuba bamgibisele ngamatye. Ke ngoko, yayiphantse yayinjongo yokuzibulala.
Kwelinye icala, u-Athena, isithixokazi sobulumko kunye nemfazwe, wafunda malunga nomsebenzi owawuphathiswe uPerseus ukuba azise intloko ye-Gorgon medusa kwaye wayokumnceda ukuze angatshabalali ebomini bakhe okanye ekufeni. Wamnceda kuba wayelutshaba lukaMedusa kwaye bazakudibana kunye ukumgqibela.
Wamnceda ngokumnika ikhaka eliqaqambileyo awayeza kumfamekisa ngalo uMedusa kwaye akwazi ukwahlula ngalo phakathi koodade abangafiyo. Ngokungafaniyo nabo, Injongo kaPerseus yayiyingozi kwaye wayenokunqumla intloko ukuzisa njengesipho. Wamnika neembadada ezinamaphiko anokubhabha ngazo ukuya kwiLizwe leeHyperboreans. Kulapho ahlala khona uGorgons kwaye elele. Yayiyimeko efanelekileyo yokuhlaselwa. Wabeka amehlo akhe ekubonakalisweni kwekhuselo njengoko uAthena wayekhokela isandla sakhe ukuba anqumle intloko kaMedusa. Ngale nto, wakwazi ukufezekisa oko wayezimisele ukukwenza.
Andromeda kunye nedini lakhe
ICassiopeia kunye nomyeni wakhe uCepheus babehlala eFilistiya. Wayenekratshi kwaye ezinekratshi ukuya kwinqanaba lokuthatha isigqibo sokuba yena nentombi yakhe, uAndromeda, zazintle ngaphezu kweenyamakazi zolwandle. I-Nereids, iintombi zikaPoseidon, babenomsindo xa bebona ikratshi elinjalo kubantu abakumgangatho ophantsi kwaye bakhetha ukohlwaya ngokuthumela i-monster eya kutshabalalisa abantu babo. Ookumkani, bebona indlela abantu babo ababetshatyalaliswa ngayo, balumkisa i-oracle kwaye bamxelela ukuba ithemba abantu abanalo kukubingelela uAndromeda.
I-Andromeda yayililitye elaliza kubingelelwa xa uPerseus, owayeze nentloko kaMedusa esanda kunqunyulwa, wabona isigebenga wambonisa intloko yakhe ukumoyika. Yiyo loo nto wayenako ukumsindisa kwaye xa babonana, bathandana ngqo.
Ekugqibeleni, UPerseus wabuyela kwisiqithi sakhe ukuba atshate noAndromeda kwaye wafumana umama wakhe owakhanyelayo ukutshata nePolidectes. Wayefihle ebaleka kumadoda kakumkani. Ukugqiba konke, uPerseus wajongana nokumkani kunye nomkhosi wakhe kwaye wabajika bonke ukuba baxulube ngamatye besebenzisa intloko kaGorgon. Le yindlela ababeyibhiyozela ngayo imidlalo yeOlimpiki kwaye xa iphosa idiski iphrojekthi yaphambukiswa yaza yawela phakathi koluntu. Ukumangaliswa ngumntu wonke, umntu owayebulele yayingu-Acrisio, utat'omkhulu wakhe. Yazaliseka ke isiprofeto somlomo.
Njengoko ubona, imbali yeqela lePerseus inomdla.
