Abstract

Another identification for the author of the Derveni papyrus has been suggested: the fifth-century BCE sophist Prodicus of Ceos. Producing over 18 testimonia, Lebedev argues that the Derveni papyrus and the thought of Prodicus agree on many points that have previously been disregarded, including their linguistic approach and cosmological doctrines. On the basis of this evidence, it is suggested that Prodicus wrote the Derveni papyrus as an atheistic polemic and a sophistic deconstruction of popular religion. However, this article will suggest that the testimonia does not establish the case, and consequently the authorship of the Derveni papyrus remains undetermined.

关于普罗迪库斯和德尔维尼纸莎草纸

有人提出了《德尔维尼纸莎草纸》作者的另一个身份：公元前五世纪塞奥斯的诡辩家普罗迪库斯。列别杰夫提供了超过 18 项证据，认为德尔维尼纸莎草纸和普罗迪库斯的思想在许多以前被忽视的观点上是一致的，包括他们的语言方法和宇宙论学说。根据这些证据，有人认为普罗迪库斯撰写《德尔维尼纸莎草纸》的目的是进行无神论论战和对流行宗教进行诡辩解构。然而，本文将指出，这些证据并不能证明这一点，因此《德尔维尼纸莎草纸》的作者仍未确定。
