Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Italiano: Nella mitologia classica la Via Lattea nacque dalle gocce del latte fuoriuscito dal seno di Era, mentre allattava Eracle figlio di Zeus e Alcmena. Zeus, approfittando del sonno della dea, attaccò al seno suo figlio Eracle perché solo succhiando il latte dal petto della madre degli dei, il semidio avrebbe potuto ottenere l'immortalità. Il figlio di Zeus però, agguantò un seno della dea con troppa forza, svegliando Era e facendo schizzare parte del latte verso il cielo.
Si creò così la galassia, denominata dai Greci Via lattea. Questa foto si ispira all'opera di Tintoretto Nascita della Via Lattea esposta alla National Gallery di Londra.English: In classical mythology, the Milky Way was born from the drops of milk that leaked from Hera's breast as she suckled Heracles, son of Zeus and Alcmena. Zeus, taking advantage of the goddess' sleep, attached his son Heracles to his breast because only by sucking milk from the breast of the mother of the gods could the demigod gain immortality. The son of Zeus, however, clutched one of the goddess's breasts with too much force, waking Hera and causing some of the milk to spurt into the sky.
Thus was created the galaxy, called the Milky Way by the Greeks. This picture is inspired by Tintoretto's work Birth of the Milky Way exhibited at the National Gallery in London. |
