天理何在?——古希腊悲剧的主旋律

Divine Justice as a Motif of Greek Tragedies

西方悲剧艺术经历过三次高峰,其中每一次繁荣都表现出各自不同的审美特征和价值取向。总的来看,古希腊悲剧围绕命运的主题展开,但其中不乏人类的抗争精神。三位古希腊悲剧大师(埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯、欧里庇得斯)又各取其径,从不同的角度对天理的公正性发出质疑,给后人留下宝贵的人本主义文化遗产。

The development of tragedy in the West has peaked in three historical periods,each manifesting a unique set of ethical values and aesthetic orientations. As the earliest of the three cultural monuments,Greek tragedy revolves around the central theme of human struggle against fate or destiny. From their individual perspectives,the pioneering tragedians of ancient Greece tended to raise a common question: where is divine justice? Their various responses to the question have left behind a rich treasure of humanistic spirit.
