历史与阐释——海伦形象再探

History and Elucidation: Researd of Helen

历史是阐释的历史,而关于海伦形象的阐释史,使历史与想象的界限更加模糊。从伯罗奔尼撒的光明女神到丽达与宇宙之女,从荷马的《伊利亚特》到欧里庇得斯的《海伦》,这个女人的面目在历史的迷雾中扑朔迷离。假如虚构也是一种历史,那么追索神话、文学与艺术中的海伦,就是对历史的一种新的建构。

Helen, the beauty who is accused of the criminal of Troy War, has countlesslegends if we reread history. From the light goddess of Peloponnesianto the daughter of Leda and Zeus, from Homer＇s Iliad to Euripides＇ Helen, the woman still remains faceless. History is the ＂history of elucidators＂. In this sense, the image of Helen is the truth of history.
