《诗学》中古希腊悲剧的“严肃性”阐释——以《安提戈涅》为例

An Interpretation of the “Seriousness” of Ancient Greek Tragedy in Poetics——Take Antigone as an Example

亚里士多德的《诗学》对古希腊悲剧作出了严格的界定,其中“严肃性”是统摄古希腊悲剧的一个重要概念。本文以索福克勒斯的悲剧《安提戈涅》为例,以“严肃性”界说为论述根基,从悲剧主题、创作形式、悲剧效果三方面解读“严肃性”概念,以多维的视角阐释《诗学》中的“严肃性”表达,从而反观古希腊悲剧中“适度”的美学原则。

Aristotle’s Poetics has made a strict definition of ancient Greek tragedy,in which“seriousness”is an important concept governing ancient Greek tragedy. This article will take Sophocles’tragedy Antigone as an example,take the definition of“seriousness”as the basis of text analysis,interpret the concept of“seriousness”from three aspects:tragic theme,creation form and tragic effect. It elucidates the expression of“seriousness”in Poetics from a multi-dimensional perspective,thus reflecting the aesthetic principle of“moderation”in ancient Greek tragedies.
