Abstract

The Atticizing language of the Second Sophistic was a subject for frequent debate, a debate in which Lucian of Samosata was heavily involved. Old Comedy, especially Aristophanes, provided much of the Attic vocabulary from which writers of this period drew when undertaking their revival of Attic Greek, and Lucian’s prose is no exception. Lucian, however, is unique in his construction of a satirical voice to join the Atticism debate. Furthermore, as this article argues, Lucian’s mockery of deficient neo-Atticism draws on similar mockery in Aristophanes and other Old Comedy sources. By means of a self-conscious, agonistic program of reception, Lucian enlists Old Comedy voices as allies in lampooning other Imperial Greek authors.

鲁西安、阿里斯托芬与知识分子的语言

第二诡辩家的Atticizing语言是一个经常争论的话题，萨莫萨塔的卢西恩也参与其中。旧喜剧，尤其是阿里斯托芬，提供了大量的阿提卡词汇，这一时期的作家在复兴阿提卡希腊语时从中汲取灵感，卢西安的散文也不例外。然而，卢西安的独特之处在于他构建了一个讽刺的声音，加入了批评主义的辩论。此外，正如本文所述，卢西安对有缺陷的新阿提克主义的嘲弄借鉴了阿里斯托芬和其他旧喜剧来源的类似嘲弄。通过一种自觉的、激烈的接受程序，卢西恩把旧喜剧的声音作为盟友来讽刺其他帝国希腊作家。

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.
