  • Macbeth and Hercules
    Renaissance Studies Vol. 20 No. 3 BlackwellOxford,RESTRenaissance0269-1213©XXXOriginalMacbeth 200X UKTheArticleand Publishing, HerculesSociety Studies for Ltd. Renaissance Studies, Blackwell Publishing Ltd Heiner Zimmermann Macbeth and Hercules Heiner Zimmermann We know from hermeneutics that our ‘pre-conceptions’ inform our comprehension of texts. The following approach to Macbeth draws upon an iconographical topos and thought-cliché as well as a political debate at the time of the play’s origin as heuristic tools enabling a historical appreciation of the tragedy. Contrasting adaptations of the mythical figure of Hercules in the Renais- sance revolve around two heroic ideals that Shakespeare sets off against one another in Macbeth: the chivalric warrior hero and the humanist paragon of reason and virtue. The former was a resurrection of the Roman Hercules as a model of physical strength, courage, and virtue, represented by his accomplishment of the twelve labours.1 The latter goes back to the Sophist Prodikos’ myth of the hero as ‘philosopher’, Hercules in bivio. In Xenophon’s Memorabilia,2 Socrates tells of Hercules withdrawing into solitude in his quest for the ideal way of life. In a vision he is confronted with the personifications of virtue (arete) and of vain, sensual pleasure (endaimonia). At the crossroads of his life he chooses the steep and narrow path leading to virtue and rejects the broad and easy way proposed by pleasure and vice. His heroism resides in his superior intellectual strength and willpower, by which he overcomes vice both within himself and in the outside world. These two visions of Hercules serve virtue in contrasting ways and both are omnipresent in Renaissance culture.3 1 For the identification of the ideal chivalric hero with Hercules see B.
