Abstract

The presence of astronomical imagery in two consecutive epigrams on the theme of pursued hares in book 9 of the Anthologia Palatina (9.17 and 9.18) both strengthens their ascription to Germanicus Caesar and suggests that his astronomical and literary interests extended beyond the youthful production of a Latin translation of Aratus’ Phaenomena. The meaning of these two epigrams can only be understood fully by paying attention to the interplay of astronomical imagery between them and by considering Germanicus’ innovative account of two constellations in his Aratea: the Dog and the Hare.

《日耳曼icus Caesar》两篇警句中的天文意象(《Palatina文集》9.17和9.18)

在《Palatina选集》第9卷(9.17和9.18)中，关于追逐野兔主题的连续警句中出现了天文图像，这两句警句都加强了它们对Germanicus Caesar的描述，并表明他的天文和文学兴趣超出了他年轻时对阿拉图斯的《现象》的拉丁语翻译的兴趣。这两句警句的意义只有通过关注它们之间的天文图像的相互作用以及考虑Germanicus在他的Aratea中对两个星座的创新描述才能完全理解:狗和野兔。
