战争、阴谋和爱情:区域网络中的埃及与赫梯关系(1350—1207 BCE)

War,Intrigue and Love:Egyptian and Hittite Relationship from 1350 to 1207 BCE

本文试图在西亚、北非大国竞争和小国合纵连横的大背景下考察公元前14世纪中叶至前13世纪初埃及与赫梯双边关系从大动干戈到签订和平条约的转折,描述了促成历史上最早的和平条约的两国国内和国际因素,意在强调多视角审视历史人物和事件,兼用历史文献和考古发掘材料并对照埃及和赫梯文献的重要性。

From 1350 to 1207 BCE, several kingdoms competed for hegemony in the ancient Near East while numerous city-states and vassal states tried to survive through making the best profit out of the conflicts among those great powers. On this background, the author tries to examine the relation between Egypt and Hittite from that of conflict and war to that of peace. It is emphasized that historical figures and events should be analyzed multi-perspectively by using both written material and archaeological evidence and comparing the Egyptian with Hittite sources.
