Abstract

This article identifies a motif in Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus that has previously gone unnoticed. It argues that wine-drinking as a socioreligious rite and symbol of participation in society provides a semantic framework for the striking collocation νήφων ἀοίνοις in line 100. The article shows that the shared sobriety of Oedipus and the Eumenides relates directly to the main theme of the play: the tension between Oedipus’ situation as a polluted outcast and his integration into the fabric of Athenian society. Sophocles creates a verbal symbolon that defines the status of Oedipus and the Eumenides as a community of outsider-insiders.

共同排斥-包容的语言符号：索福克勒斯《俄狄浦斯在科隆》中俄狄浦斯和欧米尼德斯的清醒 100

本文指出了索福克勒斯的《俄狄浦斯在科隆斯》中的一个主题，而这一主题此前一直未引起人们的注意。文章认为，饮酒作为一种社会宗教仪式和参与社会的象征，为第 100 行中引人注目的搭配 νήφων ἀοίνοις 提供了语义框架。文章指出，俄狄浦斯和欧米尼德斯的共同清醒直接关系到该剧的主题：俄狄浦斯作为被污染的弃儿与他融入雅典社会结构之间的紧张关系。索福克勒斯创造了一种语言符号，将俄狄浦斯和欧米尼德斯人的地位定义为局外人-局内人的共同体。

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
