Abstract

Abstract:This article explores the evidence for the Corinthian family of calendars in light of the calendar recently discovered on the Metonic Spiral of the Antikythera Mechanism. It will be argued that the calendar on the Antikythera Mechanism cannot be that of Syracuse, and that it is likely to be the Epirote calendar, possibly adopted from Corinthian Ambrakia. It will also be argued that the first month of this calendar, Phoinikaios, was ideally the month in which the autumn equinox fell, and that the start-up of the calendar began shortly after the astronomical new moon of August 23, 205 B.C. It will also be shown that the sixth set of games on the Games Dial are the Halieia of Rhodes, suggesting that the Antikythera Mechanism was built on Rhodes, possibly for a client from Epiros. Finally, there will be other observations on the Doric calendars of Argos, Epidauros, and Rhodes.

关于安提基西拉机械的历法和科林斯历法家族

摘要:本文结合最近在安提基西拉机械的转tonic螺旋上发现的历法，探讨了科林斯历法家族存在的证据。有人会争辩说，安提基西拉机械上的日历不可能是锡拉丘兹的日历，它很可能是厄庇罗特日历，可能是从科林斯安布拉基亚采用的。也有人认为，这个日历的第一个月，Phoinikaios，是理想的秋分落下的月份，并且日历的开始是在公元前205年8月23日天文新月之后不久开始的。还将显示，游戏表盘上的第六套游戏是罗德岛的哈利亚，这表明安提基西拉机制是在罗德岛建造的，可能是为了一个来自Epiros的客户。最后，还会有其他关于Argos, Epidauros和Rhodes的多立克日历的观察。
