Sculptural representations of Heracles in the castles of the Kingdom of Bohemia during the baroque period. Chosen examples
Vlčková, Petra ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Kepartová, Jana (referee)
The immediate purpose of writing this thesis is to explore the sculptures of Heracles outside of the selected Baroque castles in the contemporary Ústí nad Labem Region and in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. For this assignment, I have aimed to obtain documentation concerning the decor of individual castles, based on which I further interpret sculptural works, particularly depicting this demigod, and exceptionally several other sculptures located on selected castle grounds. In addition, I also address the question of how this hero is most often depicted and what its function in the concerned areas should be. There are two parts to the final assignment- a theoretical part and a research part. In the theoretical part, I deal with the introduction of Heracles in Graeco-Roman mythology, as well as the characteristics of Baroque and its reflection in arts such as architecture, music, sculpture, literature and painting. As research methods, I chose interviews with employees of individual institutions and documentation analysis. In the research part, I briefly describe the history of selected castles and the overall artistic outdoor composition while tracking more precisely the dates of creation of the sculptures depicting this hero, as well as their authors, materials utilized and...

Ancient Gods in Today's Advertising
Kohoutová, Alena ; Kepartová, Jana (advisor) ; Skopek, Robert (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with ancient mythology influence on advertising specifically with usage of remarkable characters' names in titles of companies and products. It compares information gathered from internet domains, portals and companies' representation with literature specialised in ancient Greco-Roman mythology. Names of the gods and heroes are more frequently used with inner context in their Greek form rather than in Roman form and they are often written with no punctuation. Very common is usage of acronyms which bear resemblance to specific names, however, without any closer relation to the given mythological theme. Most comapny titles really have relatively traceable relation to the ancient myths, which is described in this work. Many of those companies have chosen their names because of the euphonious effect they possess. The research brought to light many appropriately used names related to various fields of business that have not been thoroughly exploited before, eg. name of Hercules. Also, findings unknown to the authors were made revealing eg. relation between Diana and nuts etc. Although it was not possible to embrace presence of all the names in mentioned titles, this work provides adequate insight into the matter of ancient Greco-Roman culture and its topicality as it is related...
