Abstract
This short article, which starts with a reconsideration of the philosophical characterization of Statius’ Capaneus, aims at investigating the reception of the mythical figure of Capaneus in Hellenistic philosophy. Both among the Stoics (Zeno and, maybe, Chrysippus, according to Diogenes Laertius and Athenaeus) and the Epicureans (Philodemus in P.Herc. 452 olim 463, fr. 13), Capaneus occurs in the philosophical discourse on the definition of the sage, albeit with different nuances and reference texts. Statius, Neapolitan poeta doctus with Stoic and Epicurean patroni, may have drawn insights from this intellectual environment to provide his Capaneus with philosophical overtones. In the last paragraph it is cautiously suggested, on the basis of P.Herc. 452 olim 463, fr. 13, that Lucretius’ Epicurus in the well-known prologue of the De rerum natura – a model for Statius’ Capaneus – may have been influenced by the Epicurean reception of Capaneus.
这篇短文从重新考虑斯塔提乌斯笔下的卡帕涅乌斯的哲学特征入手,旨在研究希腊哲学对卡帕涅乌斯这一神话人物的接受情况。无论是在斯多葛派(根据第欧根尼-拉埃提乌斯和雅典娜乌斯的说法,是芝诺,或许还有克里西普斯)还是在伊壁鸠鲁派(Philodemus in P.Herc. 452 olim 463, fr. 13)中,卡帕纽斯都出现在关于圣人定义的哲学论述中,尽管有不同的细微差别和参考文本。斯塔提乌斯是那不勒斯诗人,拥有斯多葛派和伊壁鸠鲁派的赞助人,他可能从这一思想环境中汲取了灵感,为他的 Capaneus 注入了哲学色彩。最后一段谨慎地指出,根据 P.Herc.452 olim 463, fr.13,卢克莱修在著名的《Deerum natura》序言中的伊壁鸠鲁--斯塔提乌斯笔下的卡帕尼奥斯的原型--可能受到了伊壁鸠鲁派对卡帕尼奥斯的接受的影响。
