Abstract

Abstract:This article examines the afterlife of the Hephaisteion in Athens and explores the reasons for its comparatively “gentle” transformation from pagan temple to Christian basilica during the 5th century A.D. The author proposes an Interpretatio Christiana for the ancient iconography of the sculpted metopes and friezes. This Christian reading is supported by historical factors such as the Athenian civic pride that was felt at the time and economic developments that are related to the increase in building construction in the Agora. It appears that these factors were responsible for the moderate adaptation of the Hephaisteion at a time when temples in the eastern Roman Empire were more often destroyed and replaced rather than reused and preserved.

赫菲斯泰翁的来世:对一座古雅典纪念碑的基督教解读

摘要:本文考察了雅典赫菲斯泰翁神庙(Hephaisteion)的来生，并探讨了公元5世纪它从异教神庙到基督教大教堂的相对“温和”转变的原因。作者对其雕刻的墙面和楣板的古代肖像学提出了一种基督教的解释。这种基督教的解读得到了历史因素的支持，比如当时雅典人的公民自豪感，以及与集市建筑建设增加有关的经济发展。在东罗马帝国的神庙经常被摧毁和替换，而不是被重新使用和保存的时候，这些因素似乎是导致赫菲斯泰翁神庙适度适应的原因。
