Abstract

The story of Triptolemos is connected with the myth of Demeter. This goddess, in gratitude for the hospitality received from the parents of Triptolemos during the difficult quest for her missing daughter, Persephone, gave the young man an unusual chariot in order to help him reveal the mystery of agriculture to people and popularise this skill among them. That special moment was commemorated on vases produced in the red-figure technique in the fifth century BC and later artists repeatedly undertook this theme. However, an interesting difference in the way Triptolemos’s chariot is depicted appears on the subsequent art works. On ancient vases, Triptolemos is seated on a chariot with winged wheels, whereas two snakes are slithering beside. The following works of art depict a chariot dragged by winged dragons. The analysis of selected texts of ancient authors shows that the growing tendency to portray the chariot of Triptolemos with dragons is not justified by literary sources and is dictated by the imagination of the artist.

忒普托勒摩斯的故事与得墨忒耳的神话有关。这位女神为了感谢特里普托勒摩斯在寻找她失踪的女儿珀尔塞福涅的艰难过程中受到父母的款待,给了这位年轻人一辆不同寻常的战车,以帮助他向人们揭示农业的奥秘,并在他们中间普及这项技能。在公元前5世纪,人们用红蜡像技术制作的花瓶来纪念这一特殊时刻,后来的艺术家们反复采用这一主题。然而,在随后的艺术作品中,描绘特里普托勒摩斯战车的方式出现了一个有趣的差异。在古代的花瓶上,雷普托勒摩斯坐在一辆有翼车轮的战车上,而两条蛇在旁边滑行。下面的艺术作品描绘了一辆由飞龙拖着的战车。对古代作者所选文本的分析表明,越来越多的人倾向于用龙来描绘特普托勒摩斯的战车,这并没有得到文学资料的证明,而是由艺术家的想象力决定的。
