Tema tragičnega spoznanja in motiv Heraklove smrti v Trahinkah in Herkulu na Ojti

Valijev, Sergej (author), Senegačnik, Brane (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava motiv Heraklove/Herkulove smrti in temo tragičnega spoznanja v Sofoklovih Trahinkah in Herkulu na Ojti, ki je bil, najverjetneje zmotno, pripisan Seneki. Heraklova smrt na gori Ojti je motiv, ki povezuje celotno dramsko tkivo obeh del. Analiza tragičnega spoznanja v eni in drugi drami razkriva globlje vzroke za razliko v upodobitvi istega motiva. Zaradi različnega dramaturškega in idejnega okvira ima tudi tragično spoznanje v Sofoklovi drami drugačno vlogo kot v Psevdosenekovi. V magistrskem delu je opisano tako Heraklovo/Herkulovo kot Dejanejrino tragično spoznanje v obeh dramah. Lahko rečemo, da je to v bistvu spoznanje lastne omejenosti, vpetosti v skrivnostno resničnost, ki presega dojemljivost tragičnega junaka. Največje odstopanje od skupnega jedra mitičnega izročila pa je gotovo prikaz Herkulovega tragičnega spoznanja v Herkulu na Ojti, ki je naposled preseženo v zmagi nad smrtjo po zaslugi njegove virtus.

• Title: The theme of tragic knowledge and the motive of Heracles’ death in Trachiniae and Hercules on Oeta

Abstract

The master thesis threats the motive of Heracles'/Hercules’ death and the theme of the tragic knowledge in Sophocles’ Trachiniae and in Hercules on Oeta which was, most probably, mistakenly attributed to Seneca. The death of Heracles on Mount Oeta is the chief motive of the two dramas, binding together entire dramatic material of both plays. Analysis of the tragic recognition in both dramas reveals deeper reasons for the differences in the depiction of the same motive. Because of changed dramaturgical and conceptual context is the role of the tragic knowledge in these two dramas significantly different. The master thesis describes the tragic knowledge of Deianeira and Heracles/Hercules in both dramas. It can be affirmed that the tragic knowldge means above all the recognition of one’s own limits and the embedding in the mysterious reality, which exceeds the tragic hero. The largest difference certainly concerns the depiction of the Hercules' tragic knowledge in Hercules on Oeta, which is at the end transcended through the victory over the death due to his virtus.
