T\u00e1 Kerberos ar cheann de na mheasc\u00e1in cr\u00e9at\u00fara<\/span> is c\u00e1ili\u00fala i mhiotaseola\u00edocht<\/span> na Gr\u00e9ige<\/a>. Baineann s\u00e9 leis an ngr\u00fapa arrachta\u00ed a sh\u00edolraigh \u00f3 Echidna agus Typhon, agus t\u00e1 \u00e1it speisialta aige laistigh den ghaol sin.<\/p>

C\u00e9 go meastar go leor de na cr\u00e9at\u00fair eile den l\u00edne sin mar bheithigh le troid, comhl\u00edonann Kerberos r\u00f3l ord\u00fail: is \u00e9 fairtheoir bealach isteach Hades, r\u00edocht na marbh. Mar sin n\u00ed seasann s\u00e9 don anord, ach do theorainn idir domhan na mbeo agus domhan na marbh.<\/p>

\u00d3 thaobh na staid\u00e9ir reiligi\u00fain de, is figi\u00far tairs\u00ed \u00e9 Kerberos.

I go leor cult\u00far, d\u00e9antar teorainn an domhain eile a rial\u00fa ag fairtheoir, go minic i bhfoirm madra.<\/p>

Is \u00e9 Kerberos an leagan Gr\u00e9agach den mh\u00f3it\u00edf leathan seo. T\u00e1 a ch\u00faram sonraithe go soil\u00e9ir: ligeann s\u00e9 anamacha na marbh thart, ach cuireann s\u00e9 cosc orthu filleadh, agus ag an am c\u00e9anna coime\u00e1dann s\u00e9 daoine beo amach nach bhfuil \u00fadaraithe dul isteach sa domhan th\u00edos.<\/p>

N\u00edl bun\u00fas teanga ainm Kerberos soil\u00e9ir go cinnte. Fi\u00fa san \u00c1rsa\u00edocht<\/span> f\u00e9in n\u00ed raibh m\u00edni\u00fa daingean ann a thuilleadh, rud a thugann le fios go bhfuil an ainm seo go maith sean agus gur f\u00e9idir gur eascair s\u00e9 \u00f3 shraith r\u00e9amh-Ghr\u00e9agach. T\u00e1 roinnt m\u00edni\u00fach\u00e1n ann i dteannta a ch\u00e9ile.<\/p>

Nascann moladh coitianta amh\u00e1in Kerberos leis an fhocal Ind-\u00c1rsa sarvara<\/em>, a chuireann s\u00edos sna t\u00e9acsanna V\u00e9ideacha ar cheann de dh\u00e1 mhadra Yama, dia na marbh. \u00d3 sin thiocfadh fr\u00e9amh Ind-Eorpach chomhchoiteann don smaoineamh maidir le madra breac n\u00f3 riabhach ar an tairseach chun an domhain eile.<\/p>

Pl\u00e9itear an sanasa\u00edocht seo go m\u00f3r sa taighde, ach n\u00ed mheastar \u00e9 fuaimni\u00falach go hioml\u00e1n deimhnithe. Measann scol\u00e1ir\u00ed eile gur focal iasachta \u00e9 an ainm gan bhun\u00fas Gr\u00e9agach n\u00e1 Ind-Eorpach.<\/p>

Nasc m\u00edni\u00fach\u00e1in bh\u00e9aloidis den \u00c1rsa\u00edocht<\/span> an ainm le t\u00e9arma\u00ed a bhaineann le feoil n\u00f3 le slogadh, rud a bh\u00ed ag teacht le smaoineamh an chorpa-alpaire.

Athra\u00edonn l\u00edon na gceann at\u00e1 ar Kerberos go m\u00f3r sna foins\u00ed \u00e1rsa. Luann Hesiod caoga ceann sa Theogonia<\/em>, agus deirtear gur labhair Pindar faoi ch\u00e9ad ceann.<\/p>

Sa traidisi\u00fan<\/span> is d\u00e9ana\u00ed agus is coitianta inniu, t\u00e1 tri\u00far ceann socraithe mar an l\u00edon caighde\u00e1nach.

Chomh maith leis na tr\u00ed cheann madra, iompra\u00edonn go leor l\u00e9irithe gn\u00e9ithe eile a chuireann Kerberos i l\u00e1thair mar mheasc\u00e1n cr\u00e9at\u00fair<\/span>. Luaitear go minic eireaball i gcruth nathrach. Deirtear go n-\u00e9ir\u00edonn go leor cinn nathrach as a dhroim n\u00f3 as a mhuine\u00e1l. Labhra\u00edonn cuid de na foins\u00ed faoi mhoing d\u00e9anta as nathracha.<\/p>

Nearta\u00edonn an nasc seo idir madra agus nathair an tuiscint go bhfuil an neach chth\u00f3nach, is \u00e9 sin, go mbaineann s\u00e9 leis an domhan agus leis an domhain th\u00edos. Measadh go raibh a shileadh nimhi\u00fail; de r\u00e9ir traidisi\u00fain<\/span> a bh\u00ed go forleathan, deirtear gur \u00f3n sileadh sin a d’eascair an planda nimhi\u00fail sciollach na gcnoc, nuair a tharraing Herakles an madra suas go dt\u00ed an saol thuas.<\/p>

I bpeannad\u00f3ireacht v\u00e1sa\u00ed, is minic a fheictear Kerberos sa radharc ina dtugann Herakles as an domhan th\u00edos \u00e9. Cuireann an laoch slabhra n\u00f3 t\u00e9ad timpeall air, go minic in \u00e9ineacht le Hermes n\u00f3 Athena. N\u00ed l\u00e9ir\u00edtear Kerberos mar bheith\u00edoch fuilteach ansin ach mar ainmh\u00ed faoi smacht, uaireanta beagnach faiteach.<\/p>

T\u00e1 sliocht Kerberos leagtha amach in Theogonia<\/em> Hesiod. Is mac \u00e9 le Echidna, cr\u00e9at\u00far a raibh cuma bean uachtarach agus nathair \u00edochtarach air, agus le Typhon, an t-arrachtach stoirme cumhachtach a d’\u00e9irigh amach in aghaidh Zeus<\/a>.<\/p>

D\u00e1 bhr\u00ed sin, is cuid \u00e9 Kerberos de bhu\u00edon dearth\u00e1ireacha agus deirfi\u00faracha arrachtacha, ina measc Hidra Lerna agus an madra ifreanda Orthos. Cuireann an ghinealas seo \u00e9 sa sraith is sine sa miotaseola\u00edocht<\/span>, roimh r\u00e9 na nD\u00e9ithe Oilimpeacha.<\/p>

Comhl\u00edonann Kerberos a r\u00f3l l\u00e1rnach mar chosant\u00f3ir ag doras Hades. Trasna\u00edonn na mairbh abhainn an F\u00f3-Domhain agus sroicheann siad an doras a chosna\u00edonn Kerberos.<\/p>

De r\u00e9ir traidisi\u00fain<\/span> amh\u00e1in, f\u00e1ilt\u00edonn s\u00e9 roimh na daoine at\u00e1 ag teacht isteach, ag croitheadh a eireabaill, ach ionsa\u00edonn s\u00e9 duine ar bith a dh\u00e9anann iarracht r\u00edocht na marbh a fh\u00e1g\u00e1il. T\u00e1 a fheidhm d\u00edrithe i dtreo d\u00fabailte mar sin: cinnt\u00edonn s\u00e9 nach bealach dh\u00e1 bhealach \u00e9 bealach an bh\u00e1is.<\/p>

Is \u00e9 an sc\u00e9al is c\u00e1ili\u00fala an dara saothar d\u00e9ag agus an saothar deireanach de shaothair Heracles. Ar ord\u00fa Eurystheus, ba cheart don laoch Kerberos a thabhairt an\u00edos \u00f3n F\u00f3-Domhan. T\u00e9ann Heracles s\u00edos, faigheann cead \u00f3 Hades an madra a thabhairt leis, ar an gcoinn\u00edoll go s\u00e1ra\u00edonn s\u00e9 \u00e9 gan airm.<\/p>

Le l\u00e1mha loma n\u00f3 le greim daingean, s\u00e1ra\u00edonn Heracles an cr\u00e9at\u00far agus tugann \u00e9 an\u00edos chun an domhain uachtaraigh. Tar \u00e9is \u00e9 a thaispe\u00e1int don Eurystheus scanraithe, tugann s\u00e9 Kerberos ar ais chun an F\u00f3-Domhain. Meastar gur buaic na dh\u00e1 shaothar d\u00e9ag \u00e9 an saothar seo, mar sh\u00e1raigh an laoch an b\u00e1s f\u00e9in anseo agus d’fhill s\u00e9 beo.<\/p>

Ins\u00edonn eipeas\u00f3id\u00ed eile faoi iarrachta\u00ed Kerberos a mhealladh n\u00f3 a chi\u00faini\u00fa. Deirtear gur chi\u00fanaigh Orpheus \u00e9 le a chanadh nuair a chuaigh s\u00e9 s\u00edos chun Eurydice a thabhairt ar ais. De r\u00e9ir traidisi\u00fain<\/span> R\u00f3mh\u00e1nach ag Virgil, thug an Sibyl c\u00e1ca meala le codanna suain d\u00f3 chun ligean do Aeneas dul thairis.<\/p>

\u00d3n eipeas\u00f3id seo a d’eascair an nath cainte n\u00edos d\u00e9ana\u00ed faoin ghreim a chi\u00fana\u00edonn madra ifrinn. Bheathaigh Psyche \u00e9 freisin le c\u00e1ca sa sc\u00e9al a ins\u00edtear ag Apuleius, chun dul thairis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Is m\u00f3it\u00edf<\/span> \u00e9 an madra caomhn\u00f3ra ag tairseach an tsaoil eile a sh\u00edneann go m\u00f3r thar an mhiotaseola\u00edocht<\/span> Ghr\u00e9agach. T\u00e1 go leor comhchos\u00falachta\u00ed aitheanta ag an eola\u00edocht reiligi\u00fain<\/span> chompar\u00e1ideach.<\/p>

Faightear an chomhchos\u00falacht is gaire san India V\u00e9adach. T\u00e1 dh\u00e1 mhadra ceithre-sh\u00faileach breac ag Yama, dia na marbh, a fhaireann na beala\u00ed chuig r\u00edocht na marbh. Mar gheall ar an ngaol teanga a fh\u00e9adfa\u00ed a bheith idir ainm Kerberos agus leasainm ceann de na madra\u00ed seo, t\u00e1 amhras ann i measc scol\u00e1ir\u00ed go bhfuil bun\u00fas comhroinnte Ind-Eorpach ann: an madra mar chaomhn\u00f3ir chos\u00e1n na marbh.<\/p>

Sa traidisi\u00fan<\/span> Lochlannach, faireann an madra Garm bealach isteach i saol na marbh Hel. Is caomhn\u00f3ir cont\u00fairteach smeartha le fuil \u00e9 f\u00e9in, a fhreagra\u00edonn d\u00e1 r\u00f3l do r\u00f3l Kerberos.<\/p>

I reiligi\u00fan na h\u00c9igipte, t\u00e1 Anubis, an dia le ceann seac\u00e1il, ceangailte le r\u00edocht na marbh, ach n\u00edos m\u00f3 mar chomp\u00e1nach agus caomhn\u00f3ir na marbh n\u00e1 mar dhoirseoir coisctheach. I gcreideamh an phobail i go leor cult\u00far, meastar go bhfuil an madra ina ainmh\u00ed a aithn\u00edonn na mairbh agus a bhfuil aithne aige ar an mbealach chuig an saol eile.<\/p>

Is com\u00f3nta do na figi\u00fair\u00ed seo an nasc idir madra, teorainn agus b\u00e1s. Is \u00e9 an madra an ainmh\u00ed a fhaireann teach agus tr\u00e9ad, agus aistr\u00edtear an fheidhm chaomhn\u00f3ra seo chuig an teorainn is m\u00f3 d\u00e1 bhfuil ann, an teorainn idir an bheatha agus an b\u00e1s.<\/p>

Laistigh den fhine leathan m\u00f3it\u00edfeanna seo, is \u00e9 Kerberos an leagan Gr\u00e9agach, ar leith de bharr an m\u00e9adaithe go foirm il-cheannach agus de bharr an chomhle\u00e1 le m\u00f3it\u00edf na nathrach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

T\u00e1 Kerberos ar cheann de na cr\u00e9at\u00fair mheasctha<\/span> \u00e1rsa is beag d\u00edobh a d’fhan i gcuimhne an phobail i gcoitinne go dt\u00ed an l\u00e1 inniu. Bh\u00ed s\u00e9 mar chuid bhun\u00fasach de dhescrioptha na h\u00cdochtargh\u00e9 cheana i bhfil\u00edocht R\u00f3mh\u00e1nach, ag Virgil, ag Ovid agus ag Seneca.<\/p>

Ghlac Dante leis ina l\u00e9iri\u00fa si\u00fad ar Ifreann, \u00e1it a bhfaireann Cerbero na craosair\u00ed. Sa eala\u00edn aisteach an Renaissance agus na Nua-Aoise, d’fhan s\u00e9 ina mh\u00f3it\u00edf<\/span> athfhillteach.<\/p>

Sa chult\u00far nua-aimseartha, t\u00e1 Kerberos i l\u00e1thair go minic: sa litr\u00edocht, sa scann\u00e1na\u00edocht, sna cluich\u00ed agus sa chult\u00far coitianta, go minic mar mhadra faire tr\u00ed-cheannach, curtha go minic amach as a chomhth\u00e9acs miotaseola\u00edoch bunaidh. Chuaigh a ainm isteach freisin sna teangacha speisialaithe, mar shampla mar ainm ar phr\u00f3tacal f\u00edordheimhnithe san teicneola\u00edocht faisn\u00e9ise, ainm a thagra\u00edonn d\u00e1 fheidhm chaomhn\u00f3ra.<\/p>

Rinne an taighde eola\u00edoch agus seand\u00e1la\u00edochta staid\u00e9ar ar Kerberos \u00f3 thr\u00ed thaobh go pr\u00edomha. Ar an gc\u00e9ad dul s\u00edos, an eitim\u00e9iteola\u00edocht agus an cheist maidir le fr\u00e9amhacha Ind-Eorpacha na m\u00f3it\u00edofa madra caomhn\u00f3ra. Ar an dara dul s\u00edos, an \u00edocnagrafa\u00edocht: L\u00e9ir\u00edonn anail\u00eds ar \u00edomh\u00e1nna v\u00e1sa conas a d’fhorbair an l\u00e9iri\u00fa \u00f3 fhoirm dh\u00e1-cheannach go foirm tr\u00ed-cheannach agus c\u00e9 chomh dl\u00fath agus at\u00e1 Kerberos nasctha leis an tseanchas<\/span> Herakles.<\/p>

Ar an tr\u00ed\u00fa dul s\u00edos, a \u00e1it i smaointeoireacht na sean-Ghr\u00e9agaigh maidir leis an saol eile, arna scr\u00fad\u00fa i gcomhth\u00e9acs saothar n\u00edos m\u00f3 ar choincheap na hanama agus na marbh sa Ghr\u00e9ig. Rinne Walter Burkert, Martin Persson Nilsson agus Erwin Rohde pl\u00e9 ar Kerberos sa chomhth\u00e9acs seo, agus rinne Timothy Gantz an traidisi\u00fan<\/span> liteartha agus \u00edomh\u00e1ineach a chur i dtoll a ch\u00e9ile go c\u00f3rasach.<\/p>

Fanann Kerberos, d\u00e1 bhr\u00ed sin, ina shampla clasaiceach ar an gcaoi ar f\u00e9idir le neach miotaseola\u00edoch aonair l\u00e9argas a thabhairt d\u00fainn ar choincheapa teorann de chult\u00far ioml\u00e1n.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
