帕加马大祭坛基座上的浮雕描绘巨人与奧林匹斯十二主神之间的战斗,称为“巨人戰役”(Gigantomachia)。(http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/帕加马祭坛)
The shape of the altar was almost a square. In this respect it followed Ionic models, which specified a wall enclosing the actual sacrificial altar on three sides. On the open side the altar could be accessed via a stairway. For cultic reasons such alters were usually oriented toward the east so that those bringing sacrifices entered the altar from the west. The altar consisted of a pedestal, a frieze of slabs 2.3 meters in height using Proconnesian marble with high relief scenes, and a thick, projecting cornice. Grey-veined marble from the island of Marmara was used, which was typical for Pergamon. The frieze is 113 meters long, which makes it the longest surviving frieze of Greek Antiquity after the Parthenon frieze. The Gigantomachy frieze depicts the struggle of the gods against the children of the primordial goddess Gaia, who were snake-footed giants. After the new gods under the leadership of Zeus and with the help of Gaia had overcome the old gods led by Cronus, Zeus then opposed several of Gaia's children, contrary to his promise. On the eastern frieze, almost all of the important Olympian gods were assembled. Athena, the city goddess of Pergamon, breaks the Giant Alkyoneus’ contact to the earth, from which the mother of the Giants, Gaia, emerges. According to legend, Alkyoneus was immortal only as long as he touched the ground, where the power of his mother could flow through him. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon_Altar) |
