Abstract

Abstract:The return voyage of the Argonauts described in the Library presents remarkable differences compared to the model provided by Apollonius of Rhodes. Here we focus specifically on two aspects of the trip in Apollodorus's version, with the aim of providing new insights on these elements of the story that deviate from Apollonius: the order of the stages in the Adriatic Sea and the absence of the Libyan episode. As a result, our analysis allows us to appreciate, beyond the canonical value acquired by Apollonius's text in the early imperial period, the important role played by other local myths, even glimpsing the influence of more ancient traditions about the journey of the Argonauts. Moreover, Apollodorus' authorial choices seem to reveal a general scepticism for the part of the mythographer regarding the possibility of adapting the landscape of the mythological traditions to the geographical knowledge of his time.

阿尔戈英雄的归来之旅与阿波罗多洛斯图书馆中的神话地理

摘要:与阿波罗尼乌斯提供的模型相比，图书馆中描述的阿尔戈英雄的返航有着显著的差异。在这里，我们特别关注阿波罗多洛斯版本中旅行的两个方面，目的是为偏离阿波罗多洛斯的故事元素提供新的见解:亚得里亚海的阶段顺序和利比亚情节的缺失。因此，我们的分析使我们能够欣赏到，除了阿波罗尼乌斯的文本在早期帝国时期所获得的规范价值之外，其他地方神话所发挥的重要作用，甚至可以看到关于阿尔戈英雄之旅的更古老的传统的影响。此外，阿波罗多洛斯的写作选择似乎揭示了神话作者对神话传统景观适应他那个时代地理知识的可能性的普遍怀疑。
