Abstract

The writings of both Hecataeus and Pherecydes focus on genealogies, but scholars have characterized their styles differently: Hecataeus is anti-traditional and idiosyncratic, while Pherecydes is an impartial recorder of myths. This contribution argues for a neglected side of each author: Hecataeus follows Homeric genealogical traditions, while Pherecydes constructed novel genealogies of his own. Both authors, then, used tradition to accommodate, or ‘anchor,’ their innovations in genealogical writing, a strategy which Herodotus, in turn, improves upon in his own use of genealogies.

锚定家谱

赫卡泰厄斯和菲雷西德斯的著作都侧重于家谱，但学者们对他们的风格有不同的描述：赫卡塔乌斯反传统、特立独行，而菲雷西德斯则是神话的公正记录者。本文论证了两位作者被忽视的一面：赫卡塔厄斯遵循荷马史诗的家谱传统，而菲雷西德斯则构建了自己的新家谱。因此，两位作者都利用传统来适应或 "锚定 "他们在家谱写作中的创新，而希罗多德在使用自己的家谱时又改进了这一策略。
