After six weeks absence I return with renewed energy to talk on historical, archaeological, mythological and artistic special interest awakened me. After several entries featuring Lilith, vampires and other beings empusa night, today I feel like a haunting challenge to guess. What mythological theme recreates the image of the upper left corner? The dream scene shows a scene from classical mythology rescued by the brush of one of the greatest artists of the nineteenth century European symbolism. Criticism of the time praised the work exhibited at the Salon of 1880 praising "the magic touch brush of this visionary "and described the cave marine and " a den illuminated by precious stones, as a tabernacle containing an inimitable and radiant jewel: the body white, slightly pink in the breasts and lips, the sea nymph ¿...? endormecida between his long golden locks and insensitive to the love of ¿...?"
The classical myth referred to by this acclaimed artist has survived thanks to the compilation of a Latin author mythological suffered the suspicions of more sector conservative society and the Roman emperor Augustus who defined one of the known works of this author, which taught us the joys and enjoyments of seduction, as "unacceptable and immoral" .
late sixteenth-century English writer, who shares his illustrious name with a beautiful orchid, recovered this beautiful fable for English poetry breaking satirical burlesque shed much of his work. The male protagonist, who took a gap in the literature through the work of a famous Greek poet to whom the latest research attributed the authorship of Theban poems about Oedipus, suffers from an unrequited love that led him to commit a cruel act and revenge told by the sixteenth-century English author:
"With violence tore infinite
most tip of the lofty rock,
urn is great, no small pyramid.
With tears the nymph asked
deities of the sea ... Called:
concur all, and the hard rock
squeezed blood, was pure glass.
Members pitifully oppressed
the reef were hardly fatal,
the feet of trees thicker liquid pearls
shod your vein. Current
silver at last his white bones, licking flowers
and argientando arenas,
Doris arrives with pious tears, wilderness
waved, cheered river "
epiodio mythological What are we talking?
