Rhea (yoki Rea) Silvia (Latin: [ˈreːa ˈsɪɫu̯ia]), Ilia[1] (shuningdek, boshqa ismlar kabi)[2]}} nomi bilan ham tanilgan, Rim shahriga asos solgan Romulus va Remus egizaklarining afsonaviy onasi edi.[3] Uning hikoyasi Liviyning Ab Urbe Condita Libri[4] birinchi kitobida va Kassius Dioning Rim tarixida hikoya qilinadi.[5] Rhea Silviya afsonasida u Vestal Virgin bo'lganida Mars tomonidan zo'rlangani va natijada Rim asoschilari Romulus va Remusning onasi bo'lganligi haqida hikoya qiladi.[6] Bu voqea Rim san'atida ko'p marta tasvirlangan[7] va Aeneid[8] va Ovid asarlarida eslatib o'tilgan.[7]

Afsona

Palazzo Mattei'dagi sarkofagda Rhea Silvia afsonasining ramziy tasviri. Hikoyaning aksaRheat elementlarini sahnada topish mumkin. Markaziy figura Mars Somnus uyquga yotqizayotgan Rhea Silviya ustidan shoxdan uyqu sharbatini quyib o'tib ketmoqda. Bo'ri, daryoning timsoli.

Livining afsonasiga ko'ra, u Alba Longa shohi Numitorning qizi bo'lib, Eneydan kelib chiqqan. Numitorning ukasi Amulius taxtni egallab oldi va Numitorning o'g'lini o'ldirdi, keyin Rhea Silviyani Vesta ma'budasining ruhoniysi Vestal Virgin bo'lishga majbur qildi. Vestal Virjiniyalar turmush qurmaslikka qasamyod qilganligi sababli, bu Numitor naslida merosxo'rlar yo'qligini ta'minlardi. Biroq, Rhea Mars xudosi tomonidan egizaklar Romulus va Remusga homilador bo'ldi.[6]

Plutarxning so'zlariga ko'ra, u bunga ishongan, chunki u o'z farzandlarini o'rmonchi va bo'ri - Mars uchun muqaddas hayvonlar tomonidan g'amxo'rlik qilayotganini ko'rgan.[9] Manbalarda aytilishicha, Rhea Silvia ma'baddan foydalanish uchun suv olish uchun Mars uchun muqaddas bo'lgan bog'ga borgan[10] va u yerda uni zo'rlamoqchi bo'lgan Marsga duch kelgan, undan qochish uchun g'orga yugurgan, ammo hech qanday natija bermagan.

Vesta, Rhea Silvia farzandlarining tug'ilishidan noroziligini ko'rsatish uchun, uning ma'badidagi muqaddas olovni o'chirishga majbur qilgan.
