Abstract

In Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, the play’s heroine employs the phrase ἐπανορθώσαιμεν ἂν ὑμᾶς to announce her plan of female interference with male politics. In this note it is argued that Aristophanes used the rare term ἐπανορθοῦν because of its recent usage in Attic inscriptions, where it denoted “corrections” that were to be made in the text of decrees. As similar references in other comedies suggest, Aristophanes expected his audience to recognize such allusions. In Lysistrata, the reference was meant to lend credence to Lysistrata’s radical plan of changing Athenian political practice for the better.

阿里斯托芬喜剧中的雅典纪实语言——记利西斯特拉塔528

在阿里斯托芬的《吕西斯特拉忒》中，剧中的女主人公使用了一个短语:πανορθώσαιμεν ν ν ν μ ο ς来宣布她的女性干涉男性政治的计划。在这篇笔记中，有人认为阿里斯托芬使用了罕见的术语ο πανορθο ο ν，因为它最近在阿提卡铭文中被使用，在那里它表示要在法令文本中做出的“更正”。正如其他喜剧中类似的典故所暗示的那样，阿里斯托芬希望他的观众能认出这些典故。在《吕西斯特拉塔》中，这一引用是为了让吕西斯特拉塔改变雅典政治实践的激进计划变得更好。

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.
