Kassandra: Figur Myrine < Lektüre < Deutsch < Sprachen < Vorhilfe
|
Hallo Zusammen ![[winken]](/images/smileys/winken.gif "[winken]") ,
Ich lese gerade "Kassandra" von Christa Wolf. Direkt auf der 2. Seite wird von einer "Myrine" gesprochen.
Kann mir jemand sagen, ob sie eine historische / mythische Figur ist?
Wenn ja, welche Infors gibt es über sie?
Ich habe nur rausgefunden, dass sie eine Amazone war, die von den Troerinnen versteckt wurde.
Liebe Grüße,
Sarah

Myrine was an Amazon Queen of the North African Libyan (Gorgon) Amazons. The Libyan Amazons predate the Themiskyran Amazons. The city of Myrina on the west coast of Asia Minor may be named after her. The name "Myrine" was also a honorific title taken by each Libyan Amazon Queen in honour of her role in resettling her people and repairing relations with the Gorgons. She subdued the island of Lesbos and built its chief city, Mytilene, named after her sister who had assisted her in the campaign. Strabo mentions 2 cities called Myrine of similar location. One on the island of Lemnos. The other on the mainland of Turkey, somewhere around Troy.
Myrine: First Queen of the Amazons
Most honoured Myrine was not the first Amazon Queen, but she was the first Queen of the Amazons, or perhaps more accurately, the first Amazon Empress. She lived at a pivotal time in Earth's history. The Age of Bronze was ending and the terrible Age of Iron, or Kali Yuga, was about to begin. Chaos prevailed among many of the peoples of the Earth. In many lands the True Faith of Our Mother God was giving place to patriarchal cults in which the mascûli invented "gods" in their own image. To understand the full horror of these impious cults, one must realise that they were not like later mascûlic religions, in which the True Faith and Ancient Wisdom were subtly and carefully incorporated into new patriarchal forms to create valid (if imperfect) new approaches to God. In many cases they were violent and crude revolts against the Golden Order by profane usurpers who were little more than what today would be called gangsters.
Many of the semi-matriarchal states were reaping the bitter harvest of their dalliance with male power and male godlings. The "pets" and "consorts" were cutting the throats of their mistresses in one nation after another. The true character of male violence was at last revealed for what it really was. For the first time humans were killing other humans, burnings and tortures - things undreamed of in the most terrible of nightmares - were becoming instruments of power. A dark new order (or counter-order) seemed poised to engulf the Earth. Indeed, the hour of the dark new order had in a sense arrived: but the time of its dominance over the world was not yet at hand. And in the balance of that time of transition, Myrine, the first Queen of the Amazons was to play a very large and quite extraordinary role.
