Abstract

Abstract:Trimalchio's pastry peahens' egg dish in Petronius' Satyrica (33.3–8) alludes to Ennius' dream of Homer in the proem of the Annales (especially fragments 8–11 Sk). This intertextual play extends into several of Trimalchio's other dishes as well. These allusions to Pythagorean metempsychosis as explained by Ennius' Homer reinforce the depiction of Trimalchio's home as an underworldlike space and lend nuance to the various Pythagorean references in the Satyrica. The pastry peahens' eggs also fit into a larger network of metaliterary avian motifs in the novel that may have played a role in Petronius' construction of his own authorial identity.

孔雀、鸡和蛋:恩尼乌斯的鸟类轮回和彼得罗尼乌斯的萨提里卡

摘要：特里马尔基奥在彼得罗纽斯的《撒蒂利亚》（33.3-8）中的糕点孔雀蛋碟暗指了恩纽斯在《编年史》序言中对荷马的梦想（尤其是片段8-11Sk）。这部互文性的戏剧也延伸到了特里马尔乔的其他几道菜中。恩纽斯的《荷马》解释了这些对勾股转世的影射，强化了对特里马尔乔家的描绘，将其描绘成一个世界下的空间，并为《萨提里卡》中各种勾股参考提供了细微差别。糕点孔雀蛋也融入了小说中更大的元文学鸟类主题网络，这可能在彼得罗纽斯构建自己的作者身份中发挥了作用。
