Ingcamango yesiganeko se-chimera kunye nesichazi-magama esichazayo inikeza iinkcazelo ezahlukeneyo. Ngomqondo ongokomfuziselo, oku kuthiwa ingqiqo, imbono, kunye nomgca onqamlekileyo-isidalwa esingaqhelekanga ngentloko yengonyama kunye nomzimba webhokhwe, okukhankanywe kwiimfundiso zamandulo zesiGreki kunye neengcali ezahlukeneyo.
Chimera - yintoni le?
I-Chimera - isidalwa esinqumle, esaba yimveliso yezilo ezimbini. Uyise wayeyindoda enkulu uTyphon, onamandla anamandla, kwaye unina uyinjoka e-Echidna. Okukugqibela kwakuchazwe kwiimbali njengowesifazane onobuso obuhle kunye nomzimba wenyoka. Wazala abantwana abaninzi kakhulu kunesinye - iinguqulelo zamaGrike zasendulo. Wabuye wazala i-chimera, ogama lakhe lingaguqulelwa ngokoqobo ngokuthi "inkunzi yebhokhwe". Namhlanje, eli lizwi ngamanye amaxesha lichazwa yiphina isidalwa esilungileyo-esixubileyo, ukudibanisa nokubonakala kwayo iimpawu zezilwanyana eziliqela.
Yintoni ebonakala ngathi i-chimera?
Intombi kaEchidna yayinokubonakala kwayo okungenakuqondakala. Ngokuxhomekeke kwithuba lexesha, inkcubeko kunye nomsebenzi ochaza ngayo, umfanekiso ungashintsha kwelinye icala okanye enye, nangona iimeko eziqhelekileyo zahlala zingatshintshi.
- Ngethuba lokuqala, i-monster ye-chimera ichazwe kwi-Iliad yaseHomer njengesidalwa esinentloko yengonyama, umzimba webhokhwe kunye nomsila ngentloko yenyoka ekupheleni kwayo.
- Kwesinye isilathiso - "Inogony" iHesiod - i-monster ibonakala isele ihloko-ntloko. Zonke izilwanyana ziphosa ilangatye.
- U-Apollo unenkcazelo ebalulekileyo kakhulu: intloko yebhokhwe ikhula ukusuka phakathi komzimba wesidalwa, kodwa iphefumula nomlilo.
- Kwezinye iinkcazo, i-monster inamaphiko kunye nekhanda elincinci.
I-Chimera kunye ne-gargoyle-umahluko
NgeMinyaka Ephakathi, i-gargoyles kunye ne-chimeras zaqatshelwa, kodwa okokuqala kwakungekho nto enokuyenza ngayo nomfanekiso waseGrisi wamandulo. Le mimoya emibi ivela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo: iidemon, iidons, iingonyama, iinkophe, iinkawu nezinye izidalwa eziphilayo, ezixutywe kunye. Iimpawu zokugcoba zihlobisa iindonga zezakhiwo kwaye zenzelwe ukukhupha amanzi ephahleni. Yadlulisela emaseni abo avulekileyo. Ngokungafani ne-gargoyles, abalandeli be-chimera abazange benze nayiphi na imisebenzi kwaye bakhonze nje ngomhlobiso. Kwakukho iingcamango zokuthi izityekiso zamatye zaza ziphila kwaye ziyikrakra abantu.
Bellerophon kunye neChimera
I-Chimera kwimbali yamagama ibonakala ingendawo kwaye iyingozi. Ehleli kwiintaba zaseLycian, wahlasela iintsapho, wajongana nemfuyo nabantu. Kodwa kwiimbali ze-monster nganye yiqhawe lakhe. I-chimera yayingeyona nto: isidalwa sikwazi ukutshatyalaliswa ngumfana onesibindi uBellerophon, owayengathandwa yiothixo aze athunyelwe nguFaro waseLydia ukulwa nesilwanyana. Iphepheni ePadgasus, eyayinomphefumlo onamandla, yaphumelela ukunqoba i-chimera ngoncedo lomkhonto owawuhlaba umlomo. Iilwanyana zazama ukumbetha ngomlilo, kodwa umkhonto okhokeleyo wadibanisa waza wabhubhisa i-monster.
Imithetho yeChimera
Ekubeni ubomi kunye nokufa kwentombi kaEchidna bebeka umxholo apho ebonakala ngathi ungumqondiso wobungendawo. Kwiimithombo zengxelo kamva, i-chimera yengqungquthela kunye nomfanekiso wayo ifumana ezinye iipropati. Ngokomnye weengcamango, isidalwa esisihloko esithathu sinomgcini we-equilibri, okuhle nokubi ehlabathini, ubunye bezinto ezichaseneyo. Ubulumko nobulungisa bunqunywe ngabantu yingonyama, kwaye ubuxoki kunye nenkohlakalo inyoka. Imifanekiso emibini engafaniyo nxamnye neebhokhwe, ngumhlengikazi wabo omanzi. Ingonyama nenyoka ayinakutshabalaliswa, kuba abanakuhlala ngaphandle komnye.
Iimbali-mlando zanamhlanje zizama ukuthelekisa iimbali zeengqungquthela malunga nelo xesha. Uvela phi lo mfanekiso othusayo? Kukho iinguqulelo ezimbini:
- imvelaphi ye-monster yokuphefumula umlilo inxulumene nentaba ye-Yanar nezilwanyana ezihlala ezintanjeni (iingonyama, iibhokhwe, iinyoka);
- ukunyusa ukuvela kweengcali zanikela iinqanawa zepirate ngemifanekiso yezilwanyana ezikhankanywe ngasentla;
Iengqondo zanamhlanje zithetha nge-chimera njengomzabalazo phakathi kwamandla ombane kunye nomnyama ngaphakathi komntu. Ngengqiqo, bayalwisana, kodwa abakwazi ukuhlala ngaphandle. Kwiindawo ezahlukileyo ngaphandle kwengqondo-kwiincwadi nakwizakhiwo zolu lwakhiwo lubonakaliswa njengento epheleleyo, ihlanganiselwe kwiindawo ezingahambelaniyo, ngoko ke zichasa kuzo zonke izinto eziphilayo.
