Abstract

This article argues that Cassandra’s speeches in Euripides’ Trojan Women critique and revise the rhetoric of Athenian funeral oration by drawing upon the themes and tropes of lament. In making her seemingly paradoxical claim that the Trojans are more fortunate than the Greeks, Cassandra blends funeral oration’s valorization of glorious death with lament’s emphasis on the pain that war causes for women and other noncombatants. By synthesizing these two viewpoints, she formulates a new code of conduct for warriors that grants glory only in wars that do not damage the stability of the oikos.

卡桑德拉对欧里庇得斯《特洛伊女人》英雄价值观的改造

本文认为，卡桑德拉在欧里庇得斯的《特洛伊女人》中的演讲，通过利用悲叹的主题和比喻，批判和修正了雅典人的葬礼演讲修辞。卡桑德拉看似矛盾地宣称特洛伊人比希腊人更幸运，她将葬礼演说中对光荣死亡的赞美与哀叹中对战争给妇女和其他非战斗人员带来的痛苦的强调结合在一起。通过综合这两种观点，她为战士制定了一种新的行为准则，即只有在不破坏部落稳定的战争中才能获得荣誉。

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.
