Abstract

ABSTRACT:Euripides’ Iphigenia among the Taurians is surprisingly vague about the intentions of both Artemis and the Furies, despite their centrality to the plot. This paper argues (against most scholarship) that Euripides’ Artemis condones human sacrifice, though the Greek characters do not realize this, and the poet uses the story of Iphigenia to examine the social repercussions of a conflict between divine and mortal valuations of human life. As others have seen, the cult to be founded at Halae resolves this particular conflict—but without explaining how Orestes is saved from the Furies, which is only achieved through his voluntary submission to be killed.

阿尔忒弥斯与欧里庇得斯《牛头人的伊菲格尼亚》中的愤怒

摘要：欧里庇得斯的《牛头人中的伊菲格尼亚》令人惊讶地模糊了阿尔忒弥斯和愤怒者的意图，尽管他们是故事的中心人物。本文认为（与大多数学者相反）欧里庇得斯的《阿耳忒弥斯》宽恕了人类的牺牲，尽管希腊人物没有意识到这一点，诗人利用伊菲格尼亚的故事来考察人类生命的神圣和致命价值之间冲突的社会影响。正如其他人所看到的那样，将在哈雷成立的邪教解决了这场特殊的冲突，但没有解释Orestes是如何从愤怒中拯救出来的，而愤怒是通过他自愿被杀来实现的。
