Abstract

This paper aims to prove that Priam's journey to Achilles' quarters in Iliad 24 is depicted at several points as a journey to Hades. The catabatic coloring of the episode has been sometimes acknowledged, but never systematically studied. The assumption that Homer's audience recognized some clear allusions to the tales of heroic descents to Hades offers a number of possibilities for exploration. Not only are several passages shown to have deeper poetic meaning in this light, but Homer's use of traditional themes and his aesthetic and ideological competition with other epic traditions are also illuminated by this case study.

《伊利亚特》第24章中普里阿摩斯的毁灭:通往哈迪斯的史诗之旅的痕迹

本文旨在证明，在《伊利亚特》第24章中，普里阿摩斯前往阿喀琉斯住所的旅程有几处被描述为前往哈迪斯的旅程。这一事件的缓和色彩有时得到承认，但从未系统地研究过。假设荷马的读者认识到一些明确的典故，这些典故是关于下到哈迪斯的英雄故事，这为探索提供了许多可能性。在这种情况下，不仅有几段经文显示出更深的诗歌意义，而且荷马对传统主题的使用以及他与其他史诗传统的审美和意识形态竞争也被这个案例所揭示。
