Abstract

An ostracon from Edfu (O. Edfu 326 = SH 989) inscribed in the late Ptolemaic period is a fascinating example of cultural hybridity in late Hellenistic Egypt. So far, however, the short text has been analyzed mostly from the Greek perspective and, as a result, remains grossly misinterpreted. This note brings to light the neglected Egyptian dimension of the text and demonstrates that the short song merges Euripides’ Phoenissae with a festival of the Coronation of the Sacred Falcon in Edfu, on the basis of cultic associations of the gods Horus and Helios.

国王与猎鹰：埃及仪式中的欧里庇得斯

一个来自Edfu (O. Edfu 326 = SH 989)的ostracon雕刻于托勒密晚期，是希腊化埃及晚期文化混杂的一个迷人的例子。然而，到目前为止，人们主要是从希腊人的角度来分析这篇短文，因此，它仍然被严重误解。这个注释揭示了文本中被忽视的埃及维度，并表明这首短歌将欧里庇得斯的腓尼基与Edfu的神圣猎鹰加冕节结合在一起，这是基于对神荷鲁斯和赫利俄斯的崇拜。

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.
