Sažetak
The paper deals with visions of death and funerals in the poetry of Miklós Zrínyi. Its starting point: throughout his life, Zrínyi was preparing for a dignified, heroic death, a forerunner of which was his great-grandfather in the Syrena volume, with the martyrdom and apotheosis of the hero of Szigetvár, but the motif can also be found elsewhere, e.g. in epigrams omitted from the volume. According to the author, the martyrdom at the heart of the Peril of Sziget (Zrínyi and his soldiers sacrifice their lives for their Christian faith and their country) is followed at the end of the volume by the offering of the author’s own death (Peroratio), and the epigram "Befed ez a kék ég..." („The blue sky will cover me...”) describes the way in which this is done, the moral glorification of bodies that become prey to beasts and birds without burial. The common point of these texts is the source that most captured Zrínyi's imagination: St Augustine's description of the Christian martyrs of Rome, destroyed by the Goths, who, though lying unburied in the streets, still have an unquestionable moral victory over the conquerors (De civitate Dei). Earlier literature looked for a classical source, seeing in the epigram the influence of Lucan's Pharsalia - more recent research shows that Lucan himself was quoted by Augustine, who in the place imitated by Zrínyi, mixed the antique source with the 78th Psalm. The final part of the paper examines how this vision of death modelled int Augustine’s De civitate Dei is incorporated also into Zrínyi's prose, in the final chapter of the work The Valiant Lieutenant.
