Abstract

abstract:

Dido's gifts to the shipwrecked Trojans in book 1 of the Aeneid resemble suitors' gifts (ἕδνα) recorded in the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. Reading Dido against a Hesiodic rather than Homeric model casts her as a suitor of Aeneas, which in turn lends further coloring to the composition of Aeneas's reciprocating gifts of a palla ("dress"), uelamen ("veil"), corona ("crown"), and jewelry, gifts associated in Greek tragedy with the bridal trousseau (φερναί). The (imperfect) recasting of Dido and Aeneas as suitor and bride, respectively, only becomes legible when better attention is paid to the gendered dynamics of exchange and modes of female communication within the Aeneid.

埃涅阿斯的嫁妆:《埃涅阿斯纪》中的性别交换

在《埃涅阿斯纪》第一卷中，狄多送给遇险的特洛伊人的礼物与《赫西俄狄亚女人目录》中记载的追求者的礼物(δνα)相似。根据赫西俄斯式的而不是荷马式的模式来解读狄多，将她塑造成埃涅阿斯的追求者，这反过来又为埃涅阿斯的互赠礼物——palla(“礼服”)、uelamen(“面纱”)、corona(“王冠”)和珠宝——的构成增添了色彩，这些礼物在希腊悲剧中与新娘的嫁妆有关。狄多和埃涅阿斯(不完美的)分别扮演追求者和新娘的角色，只有在对《埃涅阿斯记》中两性交流的动态和女性交流模式给予更好的关注时，才会变得清晰。
