Descent to the underworld : ウィキペディア英語版
Descent to the underworld
The descent to the underworld is a mytheme of comparative mythology found in a diverse number of religions from around the world. The hero or upper-world deity journeys to the underworld or to the land of the dead and returns, often with a quest-object or a loved one, or with heightened knowledge. The ability to enter the realm of the dead while still alive, and to return, is a proof of the classical hero's exceptional status as more than mortal. A deity who returns from the underworld demonstrates eschatological themes such as the cyclical nature of time and existence, or the defeat of death and the possibility of immortality.〔David Leeming, ''The Oxford Companion to World Mythology'' (Oxford University Press, 2005), p. 98 (online ); Radcliffe G. Edmonds III, ''Myths of the Underworld Journey: Plato, Aristophanes, and the 'Orphic' Gold Tablets'' (Cambridge University Press, 2004) ''passim''; ''Death, Ecstasy, and Other Wordly Journeys'', edited by John J. Collins and Michael Fishbane (State University of New York, 1995) ''passim''; Bruce Louden, "Catabasis, Consultation, and the Vision: Odyssey 11, I Samuel 28, Gilgamesh 12, Aeneid 6, Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and the Book of Revelation," in ''Homer's Odyssey and the Near East'' (Cambridge University Press, 2011), pp. 197–221.〕
==Katabasis==
(詳細はunderworld.〔Pilar González Serrano, ("Catábasis y resurrección" ). ''Espacio, Tiempo y Forma, Serie II: Historia Antigua.'' Volume 12, pp. 129–179. Madrid, 1999.〕 In Greek mythology, for example, Orpheus enters the underworld in order to bring Eurydice back to the world of the living.
Most ''katabases'' take place in a supernatural underworld, such as Hades or Hell — as in Nekyia, the 11th book of the Odyssey, which describes the descent of Odysseus to the underworld. However, katabasis can also refer to a journey through other dystopic areas, like those Odysseus encounters on his 20-year journey back from Troy to Ithaca. Pilar Serrano〔 allows the term ''katabasis'' to encompass brief or chronic stays in the underworld, including those of Lazarus and Castor and Pollux.
