Abstract

Chapter 1 focuses on the cult and mythical narratives of Arethusa and the related goddess, Artemis Alpheioa. It begins with a survey of the historical and material evidence for Arethusa in sixth- and fifth-century Syracuse. As a civic symbol for the polis, Arethusa endures despite political volatility in the period. Pindar, the chapter argues, recognizes the importance of Arethusa as a civic symbol and evokes the relationship between Arethusa and Alpheos in nearly every poem for Syracuse, signaling stability and continuity. Furthermore, it proposes that links between the cults in Syracuse and related worship of Artemis Alpheioa in the Peloponnese suggest that Pindar’s references to the cult highlight a mythic tradition shared by the Peloponnesians and Syracusans.
到达锡拉丘兹
第一章着重于对阿雷修莎和与之相关的女神阿尔忒弥斯·阿尔菲约亚的崇拜和神话叙述。它首先调查了六世纪和五世纪锡拉丘兹的阿雷莎莎的历史和物质证据。作为城邦的公民象征,尽管当时的政治动荡,阿瑞塞莎依然存在。本章认为,品达认识到阿雷修莎作为公民象征的重要性,并在锡拉丘兹的几乎每首诗中都唤起了阿雷修莎和阿尔菲奥斯之间的关系,表明了稳定和连续性。此外,它还提出,锡拉库扎的邪教与伯罗奔尼撒半岛上对阿尔忒弥斯·阿尔菲约亚的相关崇拜之间的联系表明,品达对邪教的引用突出了伯罗奔尼撒人和锡拉库萨人共有的神话传统。
