Abstract

Abstract:This paper reconsiders certain assumptions about Ennius's dream in the Annals. I argue that Ennius likely characterized transmigration as Pythagorean; that based on comparisons with Pythagorean texts, Ennius, not Homer, probably said "memini me fiere pavom" (frag. 1.9 .11); that Ennius may have remembered being Homer in a previous life rather than presenting himself as Homer reincarnate; and that Ennius may have claimed to possess not "Homer's soul" but "the soul that used to belong to Homer." At multiple points, I make innovative use of an epigram ascribed to Antipater (AP 7.75) that most critics consider relevant to the dream.
荷马复活的?重新思考恩尼乌斯编年史中灵魂的轮回
摘要:本文重新审视了《纪事》中关于恩尼厄斯梦的某些假设。我认为恩尼乌斯很可能将轮回描述为毕达哥拉斯式的;基于与毕达哥拉斯的文本的比较,恩尼乌斯,而不是荷马,可能说“memini me fiere pavom”。1.9厚);恩尼厄斯可能记得自己前世是荷马,而不是荷马的转世;恩尼厄斯可能声称自己拥有的不是“荷马的灵魂”,而是“曾经属于荷马的灵魂”。在很多地方,我创新地使用了安提帕特(AP 7.75)的警句,大多数评论家认为这与梦有关。
