在古希腊戏剧中体会哲人之思

Experiencing the Wisdom of Philosophers in Ancient Greek Dramas

古代希腊作为西方文学的发源地,其重要意义不容言说。文学发展到公元前5世纪时候已经日趋成熟,这个黄金时代(伯利克里斯)的文艺时代出现了许多戏剧家和哲学家。埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯和欧利比德斯三位希腊悲剧戏剧家,他们以最古老的艺术形式——戏剧去反映出人类早期萌芽阶段对于自身命运的探究以恐惧感和阶级属性转化而来的崇高感以及对人类对生存自由的概念。

Ancient Greece,as the birthplace of Western literature,has an unspeakable significance.By the fifth century B.C.,literature was becoming more and more mature,and the literary age of Pericles was full of dramatists and philosophers.With the oldest art form—drama,the three Greek tragic dramatists—Aeschylus,Sophocles,and Euripides,reflected the early budding human exploration of their own destiny,the sublime sense transformed by fear and class attribute,and the concept of human freedom to live.
