阿弗洛狄特的遗产——论《荷马阿弗洛狄特颂歌》中安喀塞斯的后裔

The Legacy of Aphrodite:Anchises’ Offspring in The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite

《荷马阿弗洛狄特颂歌》历来被认为是写给统治特洛伊的埃涅阿斯家族后裔的赞歌。然而,近来一些学者对此持有异议。首先,本文重申了这一论题,指出颂歌的聚焦点在于埃涅阿斯的诞生及其血脉传承,而这就支持人们认为这首颂歌乃是为一群自我认同于埃涅阿斯后裔的人们创作的。其次,该文进而思考这么一种看法:《荷马阿弗洛狄特颂歌》叙述了人神姻缘的结局,而阿弗洛狄特乃是人神相恋的结晶。总之,本文认为,这么一种解读并不符合一首颂歌的文本要求。

The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite has traditionally been understood to pay honour to a family of Aineiadai who once held power in the Troad,but in more recent years some scholars have rejected this view.This article first revisits this controversial issue,suggesting that concentrated attention paid in the hymn to the birth of Aineias and his lineage supports the position that the poem was composed for a group that identified itself with Aineias.It then goes on to consider the view that the Hymn to Aphrodite narrates the end of Aphrodite’s mixing gods and mortals in love.It is argued that this reading is not required by the text of the poem.
