Abstract

A comprehensive examination of words for quiet (ἡσυχάζειν, ἡσυχία, etc.) in Thucydides shows three things. First, although quiet can serve as a political metaphor for an anti-Athenian anti-imperialist conservative ideal it does not always do so. Second, in an unstudied cluster, Thucydides uses the prepositional phrase καθ᾿ ἡσυχίαν—meaning to do something at one’s own pace on the battlefield—to help chart the diminished competence of the Athenians in the Sicilian expedition. Third, in a final cluster, Thucydides uses words for quiet to describe the surprising self-control that the Athenians displayed during the stasis of 411.

修昔底德中的赫西契亚

安静词的综合考查(ἡσυχάζει，ἡσυχία等）表明了三件事。首先，尽管安静可以作为反雅典反帝国主义保守理想的政治隐喻，但它并不总是这样。其次，在一个未经研究的集群中，修昔底德使用了介词短语καθ᾿ ἡσυχίας——意思是在战场上按照自己的节奏做一些事情——以帮助绘制雅典人在西西里探险中能力下降的图表。第三，在最后一组中，修昔底德用“安静”一词来描述雅典人在411年停滞期间表现出的惊人的自制力。

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.
