Abstract

A brief episode at the end of Book 5 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the story of Lyncus and Triptolemus, performs a significant structural role as a transition between the first and second pentads. Through thematic connections and verbal parallels, the episode looks back to the poem’s first human transformation, Lycaon’s, as well as forward to stories of Tereus, Procne, and Philomela (Book 6) and Erysichthon (Book 8). The tale also foreshadows major themes in Books 6–10, such as human family drama, and invites metapoetic interpretation that points to its structural importance.

撒种子:奥维德《变形记》中的山猫和雷公耳母插曲

奥维德的《变形记》第5卷结尾的一个简短插曲，讲述了林库斯和特里普托勒穆的故事，在第一和第二五角星之间的过渡中发挥了重要的结构作用。通过主题联系和言语上的相似，这一集回顾了这首诗的第一次人类转变，利康的转变，以及特雷厄斯、普罗克内、菲洛梅拉（第6本）和厄尔西克顿（第8本）的故事。这个故事也预示了第6-10本书的主要主题，如人类家庭戏剧，并邀请了元戏剧的解释，指出其结构的重要性。

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.
