Abstract

ABSTRACT:This article examines the opening lines of Pindar's Nemean 3, which present an interesting problem from the perspective of genre. Pindar characterizes the poem in question as a ὕμνος (11) to Zeus, contradicting the position that the singular purpose of epinician is the glorification of the victor. According to this view, it is impossible for one poem to be both an epinician to a man and a hymn to a deity. I argue that we can in fact understand Nemean 3 as, at least in part, a hymn to Zeus, since victory odes instantiate praise in relation to multiple audiences.

《尼米亚书》中“宙斯颂”的矛盾

摘要:本文从体裁的角度对品达的《尼米阿3》的首句进行了分析，提出了一个有趣的问题。品达把这首诗描述为献给宙斯的一篇ς μνος(11)，这与“epiniician的唯一目的是赞美胜利者”的观点相矛盾。根据这种观点，一首诗不可能既是对人的欣赏又是对神的赞美诗。我认为，事实上，我们可以把《尼米亚3》理解为，至少在某种程度上，是对宙斯的赞美诗，因为胜利颂歌体现了对多个听众的赞美。
