Abstract

The death of the Roman Emperor Julian provided Christians with the opportunity not only for the return of a line of Christian emperors, but also for the use of the emperor’s supposed last words as proof of the supremacy of Christ over all else. This article studies the different verba ultima attributed to Julian by Eutychianus of Cappadocia, Philostorgius, and Theodoret and argues that Theodoret willfully edited the emperor’s last words as part of his apologetic and polemical agenda, to develop the emperor further into a character that aptly transmitted the fatalism of paganism and the triumph of Christianity.

赫利俄斯还是耶稣？朱利安皇帝的遗言

罗马皇帝朱利安的死不仅为基督徒提供了一系列基督教皇帝回归的机会，也为他们提供了利用皇帝的遗言来证明基督至高无上的机会。本文研究了卡帕多西亚的尤蒂奇亚努斯（Eutychianus of Cappadocia）、菲洛斯托尔吉乌斯（Philostorgius）和狄奥多雷特（Theodoret）对朱利安（Julian）的不同的最后一句话，并认为狄奥多雷特故意编辑皇帝的遗言，作为其道歉和辩论议程的一部分，以使皇帝进一步成为一个恰当地传达异教宿命论和基督教胜利的人物。

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.
