WHAT DOES HERMA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Herma

Herma

In Ancient Greece, a herma was a square or rectangular pillar of stone, terracotta or bronze on which was placed a head of the god Hermes, usually represented with a beard. The pillar was wider than at the bottom, as a symbol of virility and readiness to fight. The name of the god Hermes comes from the hermas, and from them also acts as protector of merchants and travelers, for it was previously a phallic god associated with fertility and luck. The hermas placed themselves in the streets, doors and crossroads of the roads as a protective symbol, and also as delimiters of properties. In Athens they stood outside the houses to attract good luck. Each neighborhood had its sibling and pots with paintings that show particular sacrifices are kept before them.

Na Grécia Antiga, um herma, era um pilar quadrado ou retangular de pedra, terracota ou bronze sobre a que se colocava uma cabeça do deus Hermes, representado normalmente com barba. O pilar era mais largo por cima que na parte inferior, como símbolo de virilidade e disposição à luta. O nome do deus Hermes provém das hermas, e delas procede também o seu papel como protetor de mercadores e viajantes, pois anteriormente fora um deus fálico associado à fertilidade e à sorte. As hermas colocavam-se nas ruas, portas e encruzilhadas dos caminhos como símbolo protetor, e também como delimitadores de propriedades. Em Atenas erguiam-se fora das casas para atrair a boa sorte. Cada bairro tinha a sua herma e conservam-se vasos com pinturas que mostram sacrifícios particulares realizando-se diante delas.
