Scene of flood withe the myth of Alcyone and Ceyx, 1517-18 (fresco) (detail of 2646081)
Rome, Villa Farnesina, The Hall of Perspectives: the ample frieze with mythological scenes inspired by the Ovid Metamorphoses.
Scene of flood withe the myth of Alcyone and Ceyx.
Frescoes by Baldassarre Peruzzi and workshop (1517-18).
In Greek mythology, Ceyx was the son of Eosphorus and the king of Thessaly. He was married to Alcyone. They were very happy together, and often called each other "Zeus" and "Hera". This angered Zeus, so while Ceyx was at sea, the god threw a thunderbolt at his ship. Ceyx appeared to Alcyone as an apparition to tell her of his fate, and she threw herself into the sea in her grief. Out of compassion, the gods changed them both into halcyon birds. It is said that the halcyon birds build their nests when the water is calm since both of them died at sea.
Roma, Villa Farnesina, la Sala delle Prospettive, fregio superiore con scene mitologiche ispirate alleMetamorfodidi Ovidio.
Scena di diluvio con Alcione e Ceice.
Affreschi di Baldassarre Peruzzi e bottega (1517-18).
Ceice è una figura della mitologia greca, figlio di Espero e discendente di Eracle.
Sposò Alcione e la loro unione fu tanto felice che questa un giorno lo volle apostrofare "Zeus". Il re degli dei si indignò per questo affronto e scatenò una tempesta mentre Ceice era in viaggio per mare, facendolo annegare. La sua ombra apparve ad Alcione che, capita la morte, si gettò nelle acque per raggiungerlo.
Gli dei, commossi, ne ebbero pietà e li trasformarono in alcioni (un tipo di uccello, probabilmente un martin pescatore o una specie di gabbiano). Il loro nido vicino al mare, veniva continuamente distrutto dalle onde. Zeus ebbe nuovamente pietà e placò il mare per sette giorni, prima e dopo il solstizio d'inverno, affinché potessero riprodursi.
Gli alcioni (uccelli) vennero consacrati a Teti ed erano il collegamento tra cielo e mare. Divennero anche il simbolo di una celere pace e tranquillità.
