《奥德赛》的漂泊母题

The Drifting Theme from Odyssey

《奥德赛》着力写漂泊,以奥德修斯在海上10年的旅程为主线,歌颂了人类战胜自然的智慧和力量,是欧美文学中第一部以个人遭遇为主要内容的杰作,成为中世纪流浪汉小说的先驱和旅程文学的原型。从该作浓墨重彩地描述了奥德修斯在海上的生涯开始,“漂泊”作为一个非常重要的文学母题,影响着许多欧美作家的思维方式和艺术创作。在欧美文学中,也从此确立了以寻求、浪游、回归为内容的三大漂泊母题。“漂泊”便成了最好的陈年佳酿,在欧美文学乃至世界文学中酿造出了许多陈年美酒。其中,深受漂泊母题影响的旅程小说作家的阵容最为强大。

Odyssey, the first masterpiece with the main content of individual encounters, intersects the hero Odyssey＇s sea voyage for 10 years, with drifting as its theme and extols people＇s wisdom and strength against nature, which makes it become the forerunner of the vagrant novel in the Middle Ages and the prototype of journey literature. Starting from Odyssey＇s sea life elaborated in the works and taking drifting as an important literate theme, it has influenced on the thinking way and art creation of many European and American witers. Since then the three drifting themes characterized by seeking, wandering and returning has been established in European and American literature. Among them, the journey novelists, who get great influence from the drifting theme, are top in quantity.
