摘要

到目前为止,罗马文学在文学法学的经典中占据了相对温和的地位。然而,它为学者们提供了丰富的资源,不仅对罗马法感兴趣,而且对今天的法律感兴趣。本文将重温奥维德的《变形记》,这是一部自文艺复兴以来一直令文学学者着迷的作品。它将表明《变形记》可以被解读为罗马法的“案例手册”,尤其是与婚姻和性有关的法律。同时,我们也会争论奥维德对于罗马法的广泛影响还有更大的争论。他在《变形记》中描述的一个关键变化是将罗马从一个无法无天的国家变成了一个合法的国家。本文将通过重读奥维德史诗中的三个“案例”来追溯这种“变形”;泰雷西亚斯,菲洛美拉和米尔哈。

Ovid’s Casebook: The Literary Jurisprudence of the Metamorphoses
Roman literature has, thus far, assumed a relatively modest place in the canon of literary jurisprudence. Yet it presents a rich resource for scholars interested, not just in Roman law, but in law today. This article will revisit Ovid’s Metamorphoses, a text which has continued to fascinate literary scholars since the Renaissance. It will suggest that Metamorphoses can be read as a ‘casebook’ in Roman law, and more especially the law relating to marriage and sexuality. At the same time, it will be argued that Ovid had a rather greater argument to make in regard to the broader sweep of Roman law. One of the key changes which he described in Metamorphoses is that which transformed Rome from a lawless to a lawful state. This article will trace this ‘metamorphosis’ by re-reading three of ‘cases’ discovered in Ovid’s epic; those of Tiresias, Philomela and Myrrha.
