Versindaba Blog Archive Gisela Ullyatt. Labyrinths and Minotaurusse.
The road to Hogsback lies between hairpins rolled into one vehicle that barely allow. Still diving in places the insanity of two vehicles on this narrow space to face. The twists are unpredictable and forestry trucks with huge logs relish. If your vehicle is a landed, patience and resignation your inevitable fate. The suit also rewards you with exquisite mountains that are overgrown with thick bushes, ferns and waterfalls. When it rains, depend a misty shower curtain over all; the pace is something that the motorist's deepest fears and awe unleashed.
Higher up you get all sorts of vehicles that do not oppose the suit could not continue; bonnets von winning bored yawns open like mouths. When we arrived in Hogsback, a cappucino von winning never tasted so spicy it. We are relieved. von winning Next we navigate the GPS to the labyrinth. Supreme mud road, with potholes and gullies which our car responds very livid. It's just a few miles, but it felt like an eternity Eastern Cape. With our insides literally moved like old flour sacks, we reached the Edge.
It feels indeed whether we are on the brink of the earth to a halt. The labyrinth overlooking mountains, forests, ravines and valleys. This is explained by the classical elfbanige Chartres design. We started the 700 meters with slow, almost von winning sacred steps while the sun we overdo scalp.
The origin of the labyrinth is closely related to the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. According to legend, Icarus's father, Daidalos, King Minos's labyrinth palace, von winning Knossos (in Crete), designed and built. Minos his wife, Pasifaë's child, a hybrid between a man and bull, in the middle of the labyrinth incarcerated. Once a year, seven girls and seven young men of Athens elected and forced the labyrinth; they were the "monster"'s only source von winning of food. Theseus decided to put an end to this cruel practice to bring to the massacre of the Minotaur lead. Ariadne, Minos's own daughter's help is needed. Because the underground labyrinth, he could only find his way back to Ariadne's ball of string.
The word 'labyrinth' is often a maze (maze) confused. With good reason: to see you in the Pharos bilingual dictionary, the Afrikaans translations 'maze' and 'labyrinth'. Turn to 'labyrinth' remains confusing concept: 'Labyrinth' and 'maze' re both as a proper Afrikaans translation given. The German explained 'maze' as das Labyrinth and Labyrinth 'has the same explanation. The Greek and Latin does not help much: the Greek word for both "labyrinth" and "maze" is λαβύρινθος. The Latin term for the two concepts are simply labyrinthus.
However, there is a clear difference between a labyrinth and a maze. Jeff Saward define a maze as follows: "To von winning Qualify as a maze, a design must have choices in the pathway" (2002:8). A Maze's goal is a mystery to solve; There are several entrances, some ended and the way in is not necessarily progress.
According to Saward, a labyrinth is a design that follows only one path; So is the road that leads to the core the way to start your return. The labyrinth is introspective and aims to bring harmony; A trip to your core. But this harmony is not a game. The Minotaur at the center can not wait externalised as in the myth. You are the Minotaur.
Labyrinths and mazes are also in poetry as equivalent concepts portrayed. WH Auden's poem, "Labyrinth" is an excellent example of this confusion; the title and the content do not correspond:
Assume this maze has got a plan [...]
In general, there appears to be a lacuna to be in Afrikaans and English poetry what labyrinths are concerned. The labyrinth is often a symbol used, but the process of labyrinth walking or description of a labyrinth (for example, the courts, the core of the mythological von winning origins) are not often found. Google links lead the reader to bad poetry is full of clichés inner resignation and "healing", but it is clear that these poems as a type of therapy prescribed. The writers (I hesitate to use the term "poets" to use!) Rarely incorporate any knowledge of the mythology from which the stems or labyrinth sufficient background or description of the physical labyrinth.
The same lacuna is evident in the poetry that the minotaur is concerned. There are many poems on mythological figures von winning like Icarus, but little about the man-bull. However, there are several examples of the Minotaur in musical composition: a full-length von winning opera called Minotaur by Harrison Birtwistle (1934 -); A ballet - The Minotaur - by Elliott Carter (1908-2012), and Minotaur, composed by Karl Binger Blomdahl (1916-1968).
