Abstract

ABSTRACT:This paper argues that fr. 11 W2 from the so-called new Simonides is among the many intertexts for Catullus 68. Simonides' fragmentary elegiacs commemorating those who fought in the Persian Wars offer a parallel for Catullus' inverted invocation and his engagement with Homer. This parallel comes into relief through an oblique recollection of the anecdotal tradition about Simonides. For the reader thinking about Simonides, this recollection equates Catullus and Simonides as poets of commemorative elegy, places the commemoration of Allius in a broader tradition of elegy, and brings poem 68 into focus as an exploration of generic convention.

Catullus饰Simonides：Catullus中的一个Elegia谱系68

摘要：本文认为，来自所谓的新西蒙尼的fr.11W2是Catullus 68的众多互文之一。西蒙尼德斯为纪念波斯战争中的参战者而创作的零碎挽歌，与卡图卢斯的反向祈祷和他与荷马的交战类似。通过对西蒙尼德斯轶事传统的间接回忆，这种相似之处得以缓解。对于思考西蒙尼德的读者来说，这段回忆将卡图卢斯和西蒙尼德等同于纪念挽歌的诗人，将对阿留斯的纪念置于更广泛的挽歌传统中，并将第68首诗作为对一般惯例的探索而成为焦点。
