Abstract

Abstract:

Latona enters the Ovidian spotlight in two episodes in Metamorphoses 6, confronting first Niobe and then some rude Lycian farmers. This essay begins by drawing attention to two features of these episodes: first, Ovid’s reshaping of the tradition to highlight Latona’s peculiar susceptibility to eviction, and second, the way the Lycian story in particular not only reenacts the disrespect the story warns against but, more startlingly, brings Latona’s very divinity into question. The essay ends by linking these humiliations to Latona’s anomalous status as a goddess who is also a fully embodied mother.

奥维德《变形记》中拉托娜的不幸遭遇 6

摘要：在《变形记》第六章的两个情节中，拉朵娜进入了奥维德的视线，她先是面对尼奥贝，然后又面对一些粗鲁的利西亚农民。本文首先提请读者注意这两段情节的两个特点：第一，奥维德对传统进行了重塑，以突出拉朵娜容易被驱逐的特殊性；第二，尤其是利西亚故事不仅重现了故事所警告的不敬行为，更令人震惊的是，它使拉朵娜的神性受到质疑。文章最后将这些侮辱与拉托娜作为女神的反常身份联系起来，因为拉托娜也是一位完全化身为母亲的女神。
