Abstract

The paper examines the portrayal of Catiline in the Aeneid. For Virgil, Catiline is obviously a villain and a symbol of civil strife. This attitude however doesn't extend to other members of the gens Sergia since their legendary ancestor Sergestus in spite of his somewhat questionable behaviour during the funerary ship race, is still depicted as one of Aeneas' main and most loyal companions. Thus Virgil possibly wanted to show that the Sergii shouldn't be blamed for Catiline's crimes and that they too can be good citizens and loyal servants to the state just as Sergestus was to his leader.
《埃涅伊德》中的卡提林
本文考察了《埃涅伊德》中卡提林的形象。对维吉尔来说,卡提林显然是一个恶棍,是内乱的象征。然而,这种态度并没有延伸到塞尔吉亚氏族的其他成员身上,因为他们传说中的祖先塞格斯特斯尽管在葬礼船比赛中行为有些可疑,但仍然被描绘成埃涅阿斯最主要和最忠诚的同伴之一。因此,维吉尔可能想表明,塞吉人不应该为卡提林的罪行而受到指责,他们也可以成为好公民和忠诚的仆人,就像塞格斯图斯对他的领袖一样。
