Abstract

Hesiod's Theogony is not overtly concerned with the world of mortals. The place of humans in the Theogony nevertheless holds a certain fascination, perhaps more for what is not revealed—our origins, for example—than for what is. Focusing on a relatively neglected passage of the poem (Theogony 521-32), I want to trace here the way Hesiod lays out the cosmic coordinates of kleos (‘fame’ or ‘glory’) with a view to better situating the condition of mortality within the poem as a whole. Kleos, as we will see, is part of the fallout for humans of the battle of wits between Zeus and Prometheus: it is the compensation for their new, temporally inflected existence.

赫西奥德神制中的死亡之病:普罗米修斯、赫拉克勒斯和克勒斯的发明

赫西奥德的《神权论》并没有明显地关注凡人世界。然而，人类在神权论中的地位仍然具有一定的魅力，也许更多的是因为没有揭示的东西——比如我们的起源——而不是揭示的东西。聚焦于诗中一个相对被忽视的段落(Theogony 521-32)，我想在这里追溯赫西奥德如何布置kleos(“名声”或“荣耀”)的宇宙坐标，以便更好地将死亡的状况置于整首诗中。正如我们将看到的，克勒斯是宙斯和普罗米修斯斗智斗智对人类的影响的一部分:它是对人类新的、暂时被扭曲的存在的补偿。
