古希腊与中国古代神话谱系及叙事研究

A Preliminary Study of Genealogies and Narratives of Ancient Chinese and Greek Mythologies

神话谱系与神话叙事是各民族的文化源泉之一,也构成了各民族哲学与文学等文化形式的精神基因。其中,古希腊黑暗时期诗人赫西俄德创作的《神谱》一直被视为神话谱系与叙事相结合的最早期典范。可以借鉴《神谱》谱系学方法和西方神话的他者视角,来研究我国战国时期《楚帛书》甲篇,从而梳理出古希腊主神谱系与中国创世纪神话谱系之发展和叙事的相似特征,亦可以从源流角度考辨古希腊与中国神话各自的精神原型、民族特性与迥异的历史宿命。

Genealogies and narratives of mythologies are one of the cultural sources and constitute the spiritual genes of cultural forms in the different national philosophy and literature. In particular,Theogony created by Hesiod,a poet in the dark age of ancient Greece,has always been regarded as a classic model that first integrates mythological genealogy and narrative. With the method of genealogy in Theogony and the other perspective of the Western mythology,this paper studies the calligraphy in Chu Silk Manuscript in the Warring States period in China,combing through the similar features of development and narrative between the genealogy of Lord God in ancient Greece and that of Chinese creation myths while identifying the spiritual prototypes,national particularities and distinct historical destinies respectively in the ancient Greek and Chinese mythologies from the perspective of origin.
