Abstract

Abstract This paper analyses the meaning of μύκλος in two passages of Lycophron’s Alexandra (771 and 816). The thorough study of the contexts shows that the most likely interpretation of the word in both verses is “donkey”: μύκλοις γυναικοκλῶψιν “woman-stealing donkeys” (771) and τὸν ἐργάτην μύκλον “the hard-working donkey” (816). The definition “lewd” of ancient scholia, assumed by modern lexica and scholars, is nothing but an ad hoc explanation of the former passage which does not suit the latter. After refuting previous etymologies, I contend that μύκλος is originally a deverbative adjective in *‑lo‑ built on the onomatopoetic aorist μῠκεῖν “bellow”.

尤利西斯的驴:关于古希腊μύκλος的意义和词源(Lycophron, Alexandra 771和816)

摘要本文分析了《历山德拉》(771和816)中μ κλος一词的含义。对上下文的深入研究表明，这两段经文中最可能的解释是“驴”:μ κλο ς αικοκλ ο ψ ν“偷女人的驴”(771)和τ τ ν ν ργ την“勤劳的驴”(816)。现代词典和学者所假定的古代学院派对“淫荡”的定义，只不过是对前者的一种临时解释，与后者并不相符。在驳斥了之前的词源学之后，我认为μ κλος最初是*‑lo中的一个形容词，是基于拟声词μ κε - ν的“咆哮”而建立起来的。
