Before he dies, a swan sings the most beautiful sages. For Homer, this was the testimony to the joys that the kingdom of the dead holds for the dying. When "Schwanengesang"Refers to the last work of an artist before his death. This expression has burned into our usage, not least by the legend of the two friends Kyknos and Phaeton, as they are taught to us in the Greek sagas: If the swan plays a role in Greek mythology, so must his image as one in Greece originally non-native bird imported by immigrants. Since migrating tribes always carry their gods with them, the Greeks have brought their native gods to their new home. To the background: One of the most important gods was Apollo, In the saga of Apollo, the blond curly god of light, music, divination and death, the origin of the north is mentioned explicitly: it is said that Apollo's mother Leto had come from the land of the legendary Hyperboreer to Greece. The residence of the Hyperboreer is high in the north beyond the north wind Boreas accepted. One believed the shores of the country from the world stream Okeanos which is filled with singing holy swans. His companion animal is the singing swan. His car is pulled by holy swans. Kyknos, a music-loving son of Apollo, King of the Ligurians, is friends with Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios. Phaeton has decided to go across the sky with his father's suncar. Only reluctantly does the father grant the request to the son. If he had not done it. Phaeton lacks the experience of driving a car, loses control of the sun horses and crashes along with the burning car into the river Eridanos to cause a huge conflagration here. Godfather Zeus is so angry about it, that he sends the unfortunate youth another lightning bolt, which kills him immediately. The desperate Kyknos remembered in a poplar grove on the bank of the river Eridanos with sad songs of his dead friend, until the gods out of compassion gave him as a swan to the starry sky. Since the time will the song of the swan associated with Kyknos and as the swan death song bezeichnet. http://www.almanachdeutschesmuseum.de/DerSchwan.htm
