Abstract

I begin with two books about the cosmos. The first one is Olaf Almqvist's Chaos, Cosmos and Creation in Early Greek Theogonies. This monograph skilfully combines approaches from classical studies, anthropology, and philosophy to offer an in-depth analysis of three competing cosmologies: Hesiod's Theogony, the Orphic theogony, and the creation myth in Plato's Protagoras. It also explores the repercussions of these tensions on ritual life. The book introduces it all through a lucid and enjoyable analysis of the opening lines of Pindar's Nemean Six, which the author sees as stressing the ontological tensions present in early Greek creation myths and blurring the lines between myth and philosophy.

哲学

我从两本关于宇宙的书开始。第一部是奥拉夫·阿尔奎斯特的《早期希腊神学中的混沌、宇宙与创造》。这本专著巧妙地结合了古典研究、人类学和哲学的方法，对三种相互竞争的宇宙学进行了深入分析：赫西俄德的神学、俄耳甫斯的神学和柏拉图的《普罗泰戈拉》中的创世神话。它还探讨了这些紧张关系对仪式生活的影响。这本书通过对平达的《涅米六首》的开场白进行清晰而愉快的分析来介绍这一切，作者认为这突出了早期希腊创世神话中存在的本体论张力，模糊了神话与哲学之间的界限。
