Abstract

Abstract:This article examines the iconography of Athenian maidens (parthenoi) from Classical-period funerary reliefs. By challenging the long-standing loutrophoros theory that this vessel is a symbol of untimely death before marriage, it becomes apparent that this meaning applies only when it is used in specific iconographic configurations in scenes on grave stelai or when it appears on top of a stele. The consideration of additional iconography exclusively characteristic of maiden figures on funerary reliefs, in conjunction with the iconography of prepubescent girls and young married women, leads to the conclusion that the Attic peplos and the shoulder-pinned back-mantle prove to be the most useful iconographical features for the identification of maidens.

悲叹与死亡，而非婚姻:古典时期阁楼浮雕上已故少女的肖像

摘要:本文考察了古典时期陪葬浮雕中雅典少女(parthenoi)的肖像。通过挑战长期存在的关于这个容器是婚前过早死亡的象征的理论，很明显，只有当它在墓碑上的场景中被用于特定的图像配置或当它出现在石碑上时，这个意义才适用。考虑到陪葬浮雕上独有的少女形象的额外图像，结合青春期前女孩和年轻已婚妇女的图像，得出的结论是，Attic peplos和肩部固定的后披风被证明是识别少女最有用的图像特征。
