Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Lady of the Lake - Later uses

Lady of the Lake - The Walter Scott poem and its musical settings. Walter Scott wrote an influential poem, The Lady of the Lake, in 1810, drawing on the romance of the legend, but transplanting it to Loch Katrine in the Trossachs of Scotland. As La Donna del Lago, Scott's material furnished subject matter for an opera by Gioacchino Rossini (Naples 1819). It was the first of a fashion for operas with Scottish settings and based on Scott's works, of which Donizetti's < ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Lady of the Lake - The character in medieval literature

The Lancelot-Grail Cycle provides a backstory for the Lady of the Lake, "Viviane", in the Prose Merlin section, which takes place before the Lancelot Proper though it was written later. There, Viviane learns her magic from Merlin, who becomes enamored of her. She refuses to give him her love until he has taught her all his secrets, but when he does, she uses her power to trap him beneath a stone. Because he could ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Lady of the Lake - Origins

The Lady of the Lake's origins are probably ancient and pagan, like Morgan le Fay's, and she and Morgan may have derived from the same tradition. The first mention of Avalon, a magical island with which the Lady and Morgan are frequently associated, is in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae; Geoffrey says Arthur's sword Caliburn was forged there, and says Arthur was taken to the isle after his ba ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Mermaid - Fiction

Mermaids are one of the most famous creatures of popular culture, and are depicted regularly in literature and film. This is likely due to the influence of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale The Little Mermaid (1836), which has been translated into many languages and adapted into various mediums. Andersen's portrayal has arguably become the standard, and has influenced most modern Western depictions ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Mermaid - Heraldry

In heraldry, the charge of a mermaid is commonly represented with a comb and a mirror, and blazoned as a 'mermaid in her vanity.' Merfolk were used to symbolize eloquence in speech. A shield and sword-wielding mermaid (Syrenka) is the official Coat of Arms of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The personal coat of arms of Michaëlle Jean, Canada's Governor General, features two Simbi, mermaid-like spirit ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - La Llorona - Comparisons to figures in other cultures

The most direct analogue with the La Llorona story is that of the Greek Medea, who likewise murdered her children after being abandoned by Jason. Local Aztec folklore possibly influenced the legend; goddess Cihuacoatl or Coatlicue was said to have appeared shortly prior to the invasion of Mexico by Hernán Cortés, weeping for her lost children, an omen of the fall of the Aztec empire. La Llorona is also sometimes identified with La Malinche, the Native American woman who served as Cortés' interpreter and who some say betrayed Mexico ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Mermaid - Fiction

Mermaids are present in many books and films, becoming one of the most popular creatures of pop culture. The first time a mermaid was envisioned within her own culture was apparently the one in The Little Mermaid of Hans Christian Andersen. This mermaid was embodied in a bronze sculpture in Copenhagen harbour and much later was turned into a Disney movie of the same name. The Anderson tale was also portrayed in the Faerie Tale Theatre series ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Nix - Bäckahästen

Bäckahästen (translated as the brook horse) is a mythological horse in Scandinavian folklore. It has a close parallel in the Scottish kelpie. It was often described as a majestic white horse that would appear near rivers, particularly during foggy weather. Anyone who climbed onto its back would not be able to get off again. The horse would then jump into the river, drowning the rider. The brook horse could also be harnessed and made to plough, either because it was trying to trick a person or because the person had tri ...

Melusine: Encyclopedia II - Sexuality in Christian demonology - The sexuality of demons

To Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Jews there were male and female demons (Jewish demons were mostly male, but Lilith was female). In Christian demonology and theology, although the belief in incubi and succubi is accepted, the matter of the sexuality of the demons is not so easy. Gregory of Nyssa (4th century), as well as Ludovico Maria Sinistrari (17th century), believed in male and female demons. Authors who believed in demons of opposite sex assigned them a heterosexual tendency, even adult men seducing adolescent boys by means of pederasty; the only de ...
