IN sumero-Semitic In mythology, the dolphin is associated with Enki - the god of wisdom, the master of the underworld freshwater ocean. According to legend, people lived like animals until the first man emerged from the sea, the cultural hero Oannes (the epithet of the god Enki) in the form of a half-dolphin (according to another version - half-fish, half-human). He taught the inhabitants of Babylonia to writing, science, construction, and agriculture.

IN greek mythology dolphins often accompany the gods - Aphrodite, Poseidon, Apollo, Dionysus. A dolphin can have both lunar and solar signs: next to Apollo Delphic, it symbolizes light and the sun, but if portrayed with Aphrodite or Eros, it has lunar symbolism.

According to legend, the Tyrrhenian sea robbers were turned into dolphins, who did not discern in the beautiful youth captured by them the mighty god Dionysus.

Arion
Towards the day in clear space
He swims, sitting on a dolphin;
The wind subsides and the wave is gray
Slightly splashing, sweet kifare echoing.
And the Nereids with him in a consonant chorus
Singing the chamber underwater leaving
And multiply the echo, weaving voices
In the solemn amphitheater of the sea.
Nereus with Dorida, and the great himself
Neptune, and old Glaucus, with a wonderful stump
Awakened, emerge from the abyss.
O power of irreplaceable music!
They listen to you with equal admiration
Winds and waves, gods and dolphins.

When the dolphins dance
When the dolphins dance
So the birds chirp on the dawn
Tired heart of the ship
Bliss gives a signal
And sees the forward looking one
funny and farsighted,
Green lightning flashes
Over the foamy mass of waters.
When the dolphins dance
Relaxed, selflessly
Jumping and taking off
Above the biggest wave
Everything else at once
Becomes secondary
As if rebirth
Happens to me.
When the dolphins dance
The soul is separated from the body
Aiming for a free bird
Flying into the abyss of the sea
And yellow tropical rain
Spilled frantic
Wash it with living water
As a mother washes a child.
When the dolphins dance
Overcoming the currents,
And the ocean exploding
Breaks in half
Then a rainbow appears
And gaining inspiration
Sparkling bell of the sky
Passes it on to us.

Dolphins are small marine animals with exceptional hydrodynamic properties. From ancient times it was known that dolphins have intelligence, love to play and are friendly to humans. This was repeatedly described in the writings of Aesop, Herodotus, Aristophanes, Pliny the Elder and many others. In the art of ancient sculpture, and in general in art, the image of a dolphin has become one of the most beloved. And although the dolphin was never interpreted as a kind of “king” of the sea element, it was he who became the generally accepted emblem of the sea. Dolphin, as the fastest, according to the ancients, sea beast, also becomes a symbol of speed. The dolphin entwining the anchor symbolized the stop of the movement of the ship, the reliability of the anchor; as well as forethought. Dolphins' sympathy for humans is also far from uninteresting. Fishermen met with manifestations of this sympathy for a long time, when dolphins drove fish in their net, and called it “reciprocity”, because some part of the caught fish was usually given to voluntary “helpers”. There is a curious Kashubian saying: "if the dolphin were not too gluttonous, it would have full freedom." The presence of such properties as speed, cunning and caution, was the reason for making the dolphin a symbol of navigation, navigation (this is much simpler and more specific than the image of Poseidon with a trident and an anchor). Dolphin symbolized the water element. So the dolphin became the patron of shipping, the mythical carrier of the gods. Before the weather changes for the worse, as the storm period approaches, dolphins go deep into the sea, hide from the weather. Therefore, the ancient sailors endowed the dolphin with the property of a seer. Moreover, not only meteorological, but also anticipating other types of dangers. Dante wrote in “Divine Comedy” (“Hell”): “A dolphin, emerging from a sea wave, gives floating sign a sign to keep itself.” By the way, it was precisely the constellation of Dolphin that determined the sailing in those distant days. Among other things, dolphins are credited with ear for music, love of music. The image of a dolphin is connected with the holiday, joy. From the 4th century until the late Middle Ages, it was customary to make oil lamps in the shape of a dolphin. This form is also dictated by its practicality - after all, ancient Chinese and ancient Egyptian lamps were made in the form of a sauceboat with a long nose, from which the tip of the wick protruded. Savior and psycho pump, escorted souls in the underworld, savior of shipwrecked people, king of fish. Dolphin symbolism comes directly from the natural friendliness, playfulness and quick wits of this marine mammal. a smart and dedicated marine mammal, it has long attracted attention in the Mediterranean. The image of a dolphin can be seen on many allegories and emblems; sometimes it’s paired. When two dolphins or some fish point in the same direction, the pair image may obey the law of bilateral symmetry purely as a decoration, or serve as a symbol of balance. But the reverse arrangement, that is, with one dolphin pointing up and the other down, always symbolizes the dual cosmic flows of involution and evolution; this is what the 17th century Spanish writer Saavedra Fajardo meant by "either up or down." The dolphin itself is an allegory of salvation, inspired by ancient legends that portray him as a friend of man. The image of a dolphin is associated with an anchor (another symbol of salvation), with pagan, erotic deities and with other symbols (20).

The Ancient East
In Sumerian-Semitic mythology, the dolphin was used instead of fish in the presentations of Ea Oannes. It is an attribute of Ishtar and is dedicated to Atargatis.
Egypt
The Egyptians is an attribute of Isis.
Antiquity
In ancient Greece and Rome, his image is carved on meta-posts in places where chariot races were held, as well as on both ends of the wall, which usually divided the racing strip into two lines. Upon reaching the meta, the horses had to turn at full gallop. By the way, horses, like dolphins, according to myths, were servants of the sea god Poseidon (Neptune), whose harness was attracted to his images. Numerous spectators always crowded near the “met”, and poor women from the common people were allowed here to read fortunetelling, on a cup. After all, the dolphin was considered to be a magical creature, which means that everything connected with it had a "witchcraft" field.
He brought ashore Aphrodite, born of sea foam, and immediately managed to become a symbol of love, fertility. The young god Dionysus, being the patron of all sailing sailors, turned into Tyrrhenian pirate robbers who wanted to capture Dionysus as dolphins. Repenting of their deeds, the criminals who became marine inhabitants began to help everyone who is in distress at sea. So the dolphin is also a symbol of redemption of former guilt. True, in one of Aesop's fables, dolphins stoke a monkey in the sea who tried to impersonate a person ...
Not without reason Apollo, the god of arts, received the nickname: “Delphinios”, for he appeared more than once in the image of a dolphin, and also rode this sea animal, as did Aphrodite. When the corsairs forced the divine artist Arion to sing for them, and after performing the last aria, threw him overboard, the singer was picked up by dolphins and safely transported to Corinth.
According to the Pythagorean theory, the soul of a deceased person passes into the body of a dolphin. There is a legend that in dolphins the souls of the sailors who died in the sea are reborn.
In ancient Greece - a psycho pump accompanying souls to the Blessed Islands. It has both lunar and solar signs: in connection with Apollo Delphic symbolizes light and the sun; being consonant with the word of the womb - the lunar beginning. Has erotic symbolism if portrayed with the "woman of the sea" Aphrodite or Eros. Attribute of the sea lord Poseidon and Dionysus. Naked Tethys swims in the sea on a dolphin. In the Minoan culture personifies the power of the seas.
The fish in the representations of the first Christians symbolized their faith. It was often a dolphin, because the fish that consumed ION was a "big fish" (according to the Russian Bible - a whale). In this story, they saw a prototype of the death and Resurrection of Christ, and probably for this reason the dolphin became a symbol of this.
In stories from classical mythology, the dolphin is an attribute of NEPTUNE; BENERA born from the foam of the sea; personified water (one of FOUR ELEMENTS). A dolphin carries a chariot of the Nereid GALATEI, Personified FORTUNA, like the sea Venus, can ride a dolphin, like ARION (a young man with a lyre). Sailors jumping overboard turn into dolphins (BAHUS, 3). See also ANCHOR.
In Greek, Cretan and Etruscan mythologies, the gods themselves travel on dolphins. It was also believed that dolphins save drowning heroes or deliver souls to the Bliss Islands (which subsequently influenced their significance in Christian symbolism). They were an attribute of Poseidon (in Roman mythology of Neptune), Aphrodite (Venus), Eros (Cupid) and Demeter (Tsercei). Dionysus (Bacchus) turned drunken and wicked sailors into dolphins and himself turned into a dolphin to deliver the Cretan pilgrims to his sanctuary in Delphi.
According to legend, the dolphin saved the Greek singer Arion, taking him out after a shipwreck ashore. According to legend, Apollo took the form of a dolphin to deliver the Cretans to Delphi, where they built a temple. The name Apollo Delphic (lord of the dolphins), apparently, means that Apollo was revered in the Minoan regions with the symbol of a dolphin. It is not clear whether the name "Delphi" comes from here. In other cases, the dolphin was an attribute of the lord of the sea of \u200b\u200bPoseidon, and one of the dolphins, according to legend, married the god of the seas and his wife Amphitrite. Since, according to legend, Poseidon created the first horse from a rock and sometimes turned into a stallion, then among his attributes there is a horse. Therefore, dolphin figures were often depicted at racetracks to indicate the number of laps completed. According to legend, the god of wine-making and winemaking Dionysus turned pirates into dolphins. Aphrodite (Venus), born of sea foam, is also often depicted with dolphins. On the tombstones of the Etruscans you can see dolphins who carry the souls of the deceased to the promised country; it was only at a much later time that the gloomy idea of \u200b\u200bthe other world such as Hades took root.
The Romans symbolizes the journey of the soul through the sea of \u200b\u200bdeath to the Blessed Islands.
Northern tradition
[It was the image of a dolphin at that time - with an anchor and a boat, that became a symbol of the Christian church. It is likely that the graphic anagram “Fish” played a role here, which was a kind of password among Christians (the Greek version of the Latin abbreviation “INRI” over the head of the crucified Jesus, that is, “Jesus the Nazarene king of the Jews”.
In Greek mythology, dolphins take the souls of the dead to the island of the Blessed. In this aspect, the image of the dolphin in early Christianity was transformed into the symbol of Jesus Christ the Savior, the deliverer from Evil (lat. "Delphinus Salvator").
In Christianity, it is Christ, the savior of souls, transporting them through mortal abysses. A dolphin with an anchor or ship represents a church led by Christ. In Christianity, this symbol sometimes replaces the ark of salvation and rebirth. A dolphin pierced by a trident or chained to an anchor means crucified Christ. A dolphin taking the place of a whale means resurrection.
In Christian art, dolphins can be found much more often than other marine inhabitants. He became a symbol of resurrection and salvation. It was believed that the dolphin, the strongest and fastest of marine creatures, carries the souls of the deceased through the sea to another world. The dolphin, depicted with an anchor or with a boat, symbolizes the soul of a Christian or the Church, which Christ leads to salvation. In addition, in the stories about the prophet Jonah, the dolphin is often depicted instead of a whale, which led to the use of the dolphin as a symbol of the Resurrection ^ and also, although much less often, as a symbol of Christ.
Heraldry
Dolphin in heraldry: this is valor, courage, constant readiness for battle. The reason for this opinion was the formidable grin of a toothy dolphin's mouth, a strong tail. Therefore, the image of a dolphin appears in the arms of many port cities, in ship emblems, indicating freedom of trade and the safety of sea routes. In 1150, the dolphin became a part of the coat of arms of the rulers of Lower Burgundy, which became known as the Dolphin (French "Dauphine"); after the death of the last prince of Burgundy, who had no offspring, the principality came under the power of the king. From 1349 until 1830, the first-born son of French kings therefore began to bear the title of Dolphin (Dauphinus).
The heirs of the French throne were called Dauphins (dolphins), but without any relation to the symbolism of dolphins - it was a personal name that became the title of rulers of the Dauphin province and passed to the French kings in the fourteenth century.
In heraldry, a dolphin is depicted as a “guinea pig” covered in scales, for example, on the coat of arms of Dauphin, a historical province in southeastern France. The heirs to the throne in France, in which dolphins were painted on a personal emblem, were called “Dauphines” (French “dolphins” means Dauphins).
Emblem
When interwoven with an anchor, the dolphin is a symbol of caution (speed limits).
The ancients also believed that the dolphin was the fastest marine animal; and therefore, when among the emblems of Francesco Colonna two dolphins are depicted around the anchor, this means a slowdown, that is, prudence.

We all know the lion for its deep symbolism as the king of animals, as well as the eagle in the world of birds. And what about the sea world? The master of the sea is rightly called a dolphin. That dolphin is associated with all the elements of the sea, freedom, joy and nobility. Surely, you read legends and myths in which the dolphin-savior of the drowning man passes by motive or leitmotif. In Christianity, the dolphin is a symbol of Christ the Savior, and the ancient Greeks wrote about him as a carrier of souls. Sometimes a dolphin is depicted in paintings with an anchor. This is a kind of equilibrium of opposites, because the dolphin demonstrates speed and speed, and the anchor stops movement. This symbol seeks to convey to everyone the familiar ancient proverb "Hurry up slowly."
It is not surprising that the dolphin became a significant symbol and took a regal position, because it combines the sea and air elements. He involuntarily unites heaven and earth. Just think, how great is the power of the king of fish, who saves people and, is, mourning the souls of the dead. Dolphin is a symbol of salvation. Numerous legends also connect his image with “friendship”, because he is really a friend of man, no less than a dog.
When we talk about dolphins, what associations do you have? You are probably thinking of beauty, freedom, love, sea, sea power, security and salvation. It is not surprising that in the culture of Feng Shui, the dolphin occupies one of the most important places. Often, this is a picture of a pair of dolphins.

Sumerian mythology connects the dolphin symbol with Enki. This god of wisdom is the ruler of the ocean. Tradition says that all people lived like animals until the first man left the sea. It was Enki who was depicted as a half-dolphin. After Enki left the kingdom of the sea, he settled in Babylon and taught the inhabitants in subsequent writing and science (we will not delve into the myths of the Sumerians about the creation of man and woman).
Not everyone knows that Isis is an Egyptian goddess, in some cases portrayed as a dolphin. Hinduism represents the symbol of the dolphin as the Kama horse (god of love). The Minoan skach culture emphasizes that he is the ruler of the sea. You can see the images of the fresco, which was located at the Knossos Palace of Crete. There are depicted huge dancing dolphins that guard the peace of the sea kingdom.
Greek mythology is saturated with the symbol of this animal. You can see how the dolphin accompanies key gods, including Aphrodite, Dionysus, Poseidon and Apollo. At the same time, the dolphin is a symbol of solar and lunar energy. As you have already noticed, a dolphin is in principle characterized by a unity of duality.

But all symbolism is inextricably linked, because Feng Shui is an ancient science that is intertwined with the ancient knowledge of our ancestors.
