Lugalbanda cytaty

Lugalbanda – król sumeryjskiego miasta Uruk, panujący w 1 poł. III tys. p.n.e. W „Sumeryjskiej liście królów” występuje po Enmerkarze jako trzeci władca I dynastii z Uruk. Według tejże Listy - która nazywa go „pasterzem” a nie „królem” - panować miał on przez 1200 lat. Podobnie jak wielu archaicznym władcom Sumeru, Lugalbandzie przypisano z czasem status boski, uznając go za syna boga Urasza. Za żonę Lugalbandy uważano boginię Ninsun, a z ich związku narodzić miał się słynny heros Gilgamesz. Królowie III dynastii z Ur składali ofiary boskiemu Lugalbandzie w Nippur, a w poezji pochwalnej skierowanej do tych władców powszechnie spotyka się Lugalbandę i Ninsun, opisanych jako ich boskich „rodziców”.

Do naszych czasów zachowały się dwa heroiczne poematy narracyjne opisujące niezwykłe czyny Lugalbandy - „Lugalbanda w Jaskini Górskiej” oraz „Lugalbanda i Ptak Anzu”. Występuje on w nich nie jako władca, lecz jako dowódca oddziałów sumeryjskich wysłanych przez Enmerkara przeciw odległemu, górskiemu miastu-państwu Aratta. Przypuszcza się, że opisywane tu dokonania są odzwierciedleniem prawdziwych wydarzeń historycznych. Zawierają one w sobie echa dalekich wypraw po towary nieosiągalne w Sumerze i próby wytyczenia nowych szlaków handlowych. Wikipedia

Lugalbanda: Cytaty po angielsku

“Lugalbanda lies idle in the mountains, in the faraway places; he has ventured into the Zabu mountains. No mother is with him to offer advice, no father is with him to talk to him. No one is with him whom he knows, whom he values, no confidant is there to talk to him. In his heart he speaks to himself:”

Kontekst: Lugalbanda lies idle in the mountains, in the faraway places; he has ventured into the Zabu mountains. No mother is with him to offer advice, no father is with him to talk to him. No one is with him whom he knows, whom he values, no confidant is there to talk to him. In his heart he speaks to himself: "I shall treat the bird as befits him, I shall treat Anzud as befits him. I shall greet his wife affectionately. I shall seat Anzud's wife and Anzud's child at a banquet. An will fetch Ninguena for me from her mountain home -- the expert woman who redounds to her mother's credit, the expert who redounds to her mother's credit. Her fermenting-vat is of green lapis lazuli, her beer cask is of refined silver and of gold. If she stands by the beer, there is joy, if she sits by the beer, there is gladness; as cupbearer she mixes the beer, never wearying as she walks back and forth, Ninkasi, the keg at her side, on her hips; may she make my beer-serving perfect. When the bird has drunk the beer and is happy, when Anzud has drunk the beer and is happy, he can help me find the place to which the troops of Unug are going, Anzud can put me on the track of my brothers."

“Let the power of running be in my thighs, let me never grow tired! Let there be strength in my arms, let me stretch my arms wide, let my arms never become weak! Moving like the sunlight, like Inana, like the seven storms, those of Iškur, let me leap like a flame, blaze like lightning! Let me go wherever I look to, set foot wherever I cast my glance, reach wherever my heart desires and let me loosen my shoes in whatever place my heart has named to me! When Utu lets me reach Kulaba my city, let him who curses me have no joy thereof; let him who wishes to strive with me never say "Just let him come!" I shall have the woodcarvers fashion statues of you, and you will be breathtaking to look upon. Your name will be made famous thereby in Sumer and will redound to the credit of the temples of the great gods.”

“Utu, I greet you! Let me be ill no longer! Hero, 's son, I greet you! Let me be ill no longer! Utu, you have let me come up into the mountains in the company of my brothers. In the mountain cave, the most dreadful spot on earth, let me be ill no longer! Here where there is no mother, there is no father, there is no acquaintance, no one whom I value, my mother is not here to say "Alas, my child!" My brother is not here to say "Alas, my brother!" … Don't make me flow away like water in a violent death! Don't make me eat saltpetre as if it were barley! Don't make me fall like a throw-stick somewhere in the desert unknown to me! Afflicted with a name which excites my brothers' scorn, let me be ill no longer! Afflicted with the derision of my comrades, let me be ill no longer! Let me not come to an end in the mountains like a weakling!”
