中国与希腊神话女性形象比较研究

A Contrastive Study of Female Images Between Chinese and Greek Myths

希腊神话中的女性往往与灾难、万恶结缘。但她们中极少有十恶不赦的反面典型,而呈现出一种更为复杂的非伦理化色彩和更加本真的原生态特征。与中国神话相比,希腊神话凸现的是"真",并与"美"紧密相连,女性形象之"美"的塑造偏于个性与率真,从而淡化了伦理道德层面的"善"。原始神话对女性形象的不同描写,影响了中希两国女性文学形象的特点与趋向。

In the Greek myths females are often connected with disasters or evils. Few of them have become negative figures of all vices but present themselves as more involved non-ethic and more real protoplast. Compared with Chinese myths, the Greek counterparts protrude truth and are linked with beauty. The shaping of females＇ beauty stresses the personality and sincerity, hence desalts the kindness on the ethic level. The different description of females in the proto--myth influences both the features and direction of female literary figures in either Chinese or Greek myths.
