Abstract

ABSTRACT:Numerous ancient sources attest that Artemisia of Halicarnassus, a fifth-century bce tyrant whose polis came under Persian rule in 524 bce, figures prominently in Xerxes' naval campaign against Greece. At least since Pompeius Trogus' first-century bce Philippic History, interpretations of Artemisia have juxtaposed her "virile courage" (uirilem audaciam) with Xerxes' "womanish fear" (muliebrem timorem) primarily as a means of belittling the effeminate non-Greeks. My paper argues that although Herodotus is aware of such interpretations of Artemisia, he depicts her primarily as an excellent counsel, a woman who is not only brave in battle, but who is a wonder primarily because of her intellectual excellences in deliberative rhetoric and "geo-political" strategy in the Greco-Persian world.
哈利卡那索斯的青蒿:希罗多德的良言
摘要:大量古代资料证明,公元前5世纪的暴君哈利卡那苏斯的阿特米西亚在薛西斯对希腊的海战中扮演了重要角色。至少从庞培·特罗古斯公元前一世纪的《腓力比史》开始,对阿特米西亚的解释就把她的“阳刚的勇气”(uirilem audaciam)和西斯的“女性的恐惧”(muliebrem timorem)放在一起,主要是作为贬低女性化的非希腊人的一种手段。我的论文认为,虽然希罗多德知道对阿特米西亚的这种解释,但他主要把她描绘成一个优秀的律师,一个不仅在战斗中勇敢的女人,而且主要是因为她在深思熟虑的修辞和希腊-波斯世界的“地缘政治”战略方面的智慧卓越,所以她是一个奇迹。
