Description |
English: "Potnia Theron", Greek for "Mistress of Animals": Fresco from the bronze age excavation site of Akrotiri on the Greek island Santorini. This fresco is interpreted as showing a goddess on the right hand site, seated on a throne, protected by a griffin behind her, that she holds on a leash. To the left and in front of her a monkey depicted in blue offers a bowl to her with raised arms, while a young woman pours flowers of the saffron crocus in a large bowl.
The fresco is part of a large wall painting, dubbed the "saffron gatherers", that covers two walls in an upper floor room of the building "Xeste 3". This building interpreted to be a place of initiation and rites of passage due to an adyton in the group floor and diverse frescoes all over the building.
日本語: 「ポトニア・テロン」(Potnia Theron)と題された青銅器時代のフレスコ画で、「サフランを収穫する者たち」と呼ばれる大きな壁画の一部。題名はギリシャ語で「動物の愛人」という意味。ギリシャのサントリーニ島アクロティリの遺跡で発見された。画面右側の玉座に腰掛けた女神の背後にいるグリフィンは、女神がつかむ紐につながれており、画面の世界を守っていると解釈される。画面中央寄りに青色で描かれた猿が立ち鉢を捧げ持っており、画面左の若い女性は大鉢にサフランの花を移している。壁画は建物「Xeste 3」の上階の室内壁面2面に広がる。この建物はグループ床に描かれたアディトン像と建物内の多様なフレスコ画を根拠に、儀式と通過儀礼に使われたと解釈される。 |
