The mythological figure of Perseus is a constant companion of Maskulismus - not just only as a symbol, but mainly as an inspiration and role model.
In her quiet yet effectively charged phenomenon, just impressed Benvenuto Cellini's' Perseus statue in Florence to the initiated and over again. It is a carved in stone a snapshot of the supreme triumph of a man who had just a brutal and heinous monster has destroyed completely and permanently. A cursed creature that countless men had on his conscience, and sent numerous companions of the Perseus in the stone death. Shattered and tattered, the decapitated monster is on the ground, while the winner's head sticking out of the sky and thereby lowers his head out of humility and exhaustion.
Almost like the one rhythmically heaving chest, sweaty and bruised muscles and see the softly-lowering, blood-stained sword, accompanied by an infinite blank stare, which combines the emotions of the cruel loss of the closest friendship and the highest joy in the Earth. It is not a happy event, but a bitter and expensive success - a classic Pyrrhic victory .
The cultural environment of the Perseus legend
fact that the Greek intellectual world as a classical heritage of Western culture is timeless reflects, not only in countless epics, which are also thousands of years later as a symbol human testing and fights used were urwestlicher but also in the surprisingly modern ideas precursors.
detected as Anaximander of Miletus around 600 BC that the world is a sphere in the cosmos and that the origin of life is an evolution from the sea. Heraclitus of Ephesus in 500 BC tried exposing the drive for world events in the "logos", an immanent legality, the esoteric lies and mistakes - and takes on the modern, western-rational thinking in advance, which centuries later, the intellectual basis for form the comprehensive scientific and technological superiority of our Western culture would. Xenophanes was before the modern atheist Richard Dawkins centuries Anticipating the birth of Jesus, exclaiming that horses and lions gods would form after its own image, because if they could, just as man imagines the gods as human figures.
The ideas of the West are therefore a final completion of initial approaches Classical, Hellenistic culture, which we, as opposed to the other adjacent world cultures most sustainable and most thorough inherited and therefore may well assign the entire Western cultural history.
Sun the modern rule of law at the elaborate legal system of the Romans (whose laws well into the Middle Ages and used even today in Vatican canon law will turn up) back to the beginnings of Western individualism found in the pursuit of Greek and Roman heroes and city-states to immortal fame and the first traces of the Western egalitarianism can be detected in the form of the Roman Republic and the political system of the Greek demos .
The legend of Perseus
According to Greek mythology, Perseus was the son of Zeus and the mortal Danae, who was the daughter of the King Acrisius. This was predicted by an oracle that he would die at the hands of a grandson. He locked his daughter in a sealed ivory tower one, so that she could commit itself to any suitor. Zeus, however, was known for his tricks in the female conquest (he abducted the Phoenician princess Europa form of a bull ), was able to approach her but in the form of golden rain.
Danaë Acrisius grandchildren and demi-god Perseus, who was on the part of his grandfather, for obvious reasons, once viewed with suspicion. Without hesitating, he put his own daughter and mother of Perseus, along with her fetus in a box from the sea. drowned by a miracle the two not, but were rinsed off the island Seriphos on land. The scene there was the king Polydectes that welcomed both to himself and with time in Dana fell in love.
The growing Perseus was therefore again a ruler and a thorn in Polydectes tried to remove him by sending him to a classic Ascension Mission - he should the head of the Gorgon Medusa heinous capture to prove themselves. Armed with the magic items magic hat, winged sandals and magic bag, which he bought with the help of Hermes and Athena, and accompanied by defensive companions and comrades made he on his way to the Cave of petrifying Gorgon Medusa and her sisters.
A fierce battle between Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa troops broke out, were petrified in the course of which most of the companions of Perseus by the deadly gaze of Medusa. By using his shield as a mirror and averted his eyes from the monster, Perseus was able finally to cut off Medusa's head. From the limp body of the monster sprang Pegasus, a winged horse. Relieved, bitter at the same time he supplied the yet bleeding head in his pocket and made from Pegasus carried on the way home. Heading freed he beauty of the Andromeda, which was held by a sea monster and made her his wife.
When he reached Seriphos, he began his remaining comrades and his treacherous palace of the king to storm Polydectes. After a bloody battle in which the hero and his followers overcame the guards, they were finally Polydectes and his last against men. Perseus opened his magic bag and screamed in the room that everyone who was his friend, should turn away the face of it. In the same moment he threw the head of Medusa in the air, watching the flight of his bewildered opponents was. Most of his enemies except Polydectes froze instantly to stone. Perseus and the head began with his hands and stretched his arch-enemy into the face who tried in vain to hide behind his shield.
The fisherman and brother of Polydectes he rose to the new king of the island, the Medusa head Seriphos and gave it to Athena. Perseus, fathered numerous children with his wife, Andromeda. He is said to have fathered the legend to Perse - the ancestor of Persian kings. He is also the ancestor of Heracles and Heracles.
The oracle, after the king died Acrisius by his grandson would be filled as Perseus in a contest with no ill intent against the King threw his discus, and he died on the spot.
importance for the Maskulismus
Perseus is in Maskulismus for the fight against the feminist Medusa, which has been chosen in the last fifty years, the West as their den and which are petrified on the way to true equality and paralyzed. It symbolizes the sophistication and the tools of Perseus, the instruments that we use Maskulisten a broad-based and displace by influential groups based ideology. Because the monster is not by brute force or cowardly retreat get at - it requires sophisticated methods and intensive study of the nature and weaknesses of the enemy to defeat him
The high point of this chess-like confrontation, as Perseus used his shield to the eyes of Medusa to turn away from itself the right to. blind and therefore unable to fight to make the decisive moment. We proceed in the same way, by setting out the weaknesses, the contradictions and the nastiness of the feminist ideology for all to see, so keep the former arch-enemy of the ignorant supporters paralyzed with terror held. Only then is revealed to us the crucial moment for the besiegelnden blow to the neck. We therefore need to study the peculiarity of the monster and let the beast and her white knight to fall themselves, they almost beat at their own game, so that the onset of petrification and paralysis to allow the intellectual death blow.
only with a sharp intellect and with the support of other defeated Perseus Medusa - not the sharpness of his blade and the hardness of his arms was decisive, but the wise and prudent use of by most striking weapon available to the person - the mind.
conclusions
Perseus is more to us than just another Greek myth. No Another story of the ancients symbolized and united so many facets of our fight against feminism and for true equality better. Hardly any other fairy tales can the uncertainties that better represent compelling circumstances, the importance and magnitude of our task.
It is therefore not surprising that we have Maskulisten opted for the mythological figure of Perseus, under whose banner the intellectual tools to delegitimize and displacement is to collect of feminism. No icon with a similarly rich mythological background manifests the hardships and our unbroken will clear.
The stone in eternal and yet living flesh cast will of a warrior who survives the harshest test of his time, despite great obstacles and sticking out his trophy in humility and the exhaustion mocking fate bravely.
We are the tool of his will
