Abstract

Abstract:In this article we analyze explicit expressions of pity among family members within Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis and Sophocles' Electra with particular attention to the closeness of individuals involved and the merit for misfortune, two categories informed by Aristotle's definition of pity in the Rhetoric. Instances within these plays suggest that a type of estrangement exists between pitier and pitied while the question of whether one's misfortune is merited can be ignored in favor of assumed obligations to kin. This interpretation sheds light on the instance of pity found between father and son in Aeschylus' Persians.

希腊悲剧中的家庭怜悯

摘要:本文分析了欧里庇得斯的《奥里斯的伊菲盖涅亚》和索福克勒斯的《伊勒克特拉》中家庭成员之间的同情的明确表达，特别关注了所涉及个人的亲密关系和不幸的功德，这两个类别受到亚里士多德在《修辞学》中对同情的定义的影响。这些戏剧中的例子表明，怜悯者和被怜悯者之间存在着一种隔阂，而一个人的不幸是否值得的问题可以被忽略，而更倾向于对亲属承担的义务。这种解释揭示了埃斯库罗斯的《波斯人》中父子之间的怜悯。
