摘要

这篇论文声称，品达尔的奥林匹亚书2.61-62指的是天文上的春分，它表明春分和伴随的黄道，即“太阳的路径”，与古代世界的来世信仰有重要的联系，源于巴比伦的埃努玛埃利什语。从这个角度来看，这个“末世论”段落(53-69)中有问题的术语很容易出现。提出的解释是，太阳的路径是一个来世审判的地方，集中在以分点为中心的三个月期间(ν στρ ς ν κατ)，导致通过行星的提升，比喻为攀登“土星塔”(παρ Κρόνου ν)。

The Path of the Sun: Pindar Olympian 2.61–62

This paper claims that Pindar’s Olympian 2.61–62 refers to the astronomical equinox by showing that the equinox, and its concomitant ecliptic, the “path of the sun,” has a significant connection to afterlife beliefs in the ancient world, derived from the Babylonian Enuma Elish. From this perspective, the problematic terms in this “eschatological” passage (53–69) arise simply. The explanation proposed is that the path of the sun is a place of afterlife judgment focusing on the three-month periods centered on the equinoxes (ἐστρίς ἑκατέρωθι), leading to an ascension via the planets, metaphorically climbing the “tower of Saturn” (παρὰ Κρόνου τύρσιν).

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
