…When Jason decided to go on an expedition, more than 50 heroes gathered from all over Greece under the guidance of Hera. The shipwright Argos, under the protection of the goddess Athena, built the first large ship in human history with 50 oarsmen. Athena herself created a miraculous piece of wood from the oak forest of Dodona, the famous oracle of Zeus, that could speak human language, and attached it to the bow of the ship, naming it the Argo (meaning "swift ship"). In addition to the captain Jason, the crew included famous heroes from one or two generations before the heroes of the Trojan War, such as Peleus, Theseus, Admētos, Orpheus, Meleager, and Heracles. … From [Peacock]…In ancient Greece, the peacock was considered sacred to Hera, the wife of Zeus, the god of the sky. It is said that the monster Argos, who had eyes all over his body, turned into a peacock when he died, or that Hera sprinkled his eyes on the peacock's tail feathers. In Christian society, the peacock was also a symbol of resurrection, because the tail feathers molt. From [Hera]…She also competed with Aphrodite and Athena for beauty, but lost the judgment of the Trojan prince Paris. She was an enemy of the Trojans throughout the Trojan War, and even persecuted Aeneas, the founder of Rome, who set out in search of a new homeland after the fall of Troy. Her most famous places of worship are Argos in the Peloponnese and Samos in Ionia, where she was the patron deity of the towns. In some places, including Argos and Samos, a sacred marriage ceremony was held to commemorate the marriage of Zeus and Hera. The one at Plataea in Boeotia was called Daidala, after the name of a statue of Hera made of oak and carried to Mount Cithaeron in a cart with the maidens who accompanied the bride. … From "eye"…There are countless monsters and beasts with one or many eyes in the Shan Hai Jing, but there is also a story about the god Indra being given 1,000 eyes in order to gaze upon Tilottama, the most beautiful woman in India. However, many eyes are generally considered to represent ambiguity, and while they can illuminate everything like a star-filled sky, the many-eyed person himself is left in darkness, as symbolized by the example of Argos, who had 100 eyes, being decapitated by Hermes when he closed all his eyes in a moment of sleep in Buddhism. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Argos (legend)" are listed below.

…遠征を決意したイアソンのもとにはヘラの導きで50人余の英雄が全ギリシアから参集した。船大工のアルゴスArgosはアテナ女神の加護のもと50人の櫂座をもつ人類最初の大船を造り,アテナみずから,有名なゼウスの神託所ドドナの森のカシ材から人語を発する不思議な木片を造り,へさきに取りつけ,アルゴ船(〈迅速号〉ほどの意)と名づけた。乗組員には隊長のイアソンのほか,ペレウス,テセウス,アドメトスAdmētos,オルフェウス,メレアグロス,ヘラクレスなど,トロイア戦争の英雄の1ないし2世代前の有名な英雄が名を連ねた。… 【クジャク(孔雀)】より…それゆえに,古代ギリシアでは天空神ゼウスの妻ヘラの聖鳥とされた。また,全身に目をもつ怪物アルゴスは,死んでクジャクに変身したとも,ヘラがその目をクジャクの尾羽にちりばめたとも伝えられる。尾羽が抜け変わるところから,キリスト教社会ではクジャクを復活の象徴ともした。… 【ヘラ】より…彼女はまたアフロディテ,アテナ両女神と美を競ったものの,トロイア王子パリスの審判で敗れたため,やがて起こったトロイア戦争で終始トロイア方に敵対したばかりか,トロイア陥落後,新しい祖国を求めて旅立ったローマ建国の祖アエネアスをも迫害しつづけたという。 彼女の崇拝地としてはペロポネソス半島のアルゴスとイオニア地方のサモス島が名高く,両所では彼女は町の守護神でもあった。またアルゴス,サモスを含むいくつかの土地では,ゼウスとヘラの結婚を記念する〈聖婚hieros gamos〉の儀式が行われ,ボイオティア地方のプラタイアイのそれは,オークの木で作られ,花嫁に付き添う乙女とともに荷車でキタイロン山に運ばれるヘラの神像の名からダイダラDaidala祭と呼ばれていた。… 【目∥眼】より…《山海経》には1眼や多眼の怪物・怪獣が枚挙にいとまがないほどあるが,インドでもたぐいない美女ティローッタマーを眺めるためにインドラ神に1000個の目ができたという話がある。けれども一般に多眼も両義性を表すとされ,満天の星のごとく万象を照らしながらも多眼の当人は暗黒に取り残されているのは,ギリシア神話で100眼をもつアルゴスが一瞬の眠りにすべての目を閉じたすきにヘルメスに首を切られた例に象徴されている。 仏教には五眼(ごげん)がある。… ※「アルゴス(伝説)」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
