摘要

虽然使徒行传28章1到6节中的沉船和毒蛇咬伤被认为是保罗无罪的象征，但毒蛇可能具有进一步的象征意义。尼禄在公元59年的弑母行为之后，人们把他与埃斯库罗斯对俄瑞斯忒斯的描绘联系在一起，而俄瑞斯忒斯又与一种将毒蛇的出生视为弑母的传统联系在一起。因此，通过他与毒蛇的相遇，保罗象征性地“出现在”尼禄皇帝面前——这在使徒行传本身的叙述中是预料到的，但从未公开发生。

A Nicandrian Nero? The Symbolic Significance of the Viper in Acts 28.1–6

While surviving the shipwreck and the viper bite in Acts 28.1–6 have often been recognised as symbolic assertions of Paul's innocence, the viper may hold further symbolic significance. Following his act of matricide in 59 ce, Nero was linked to Aeschylus’ portrayal of Orestes, who, in turn, was linked to a tradition that understood a viper's birth as matricidal. Thus, through his encounter with the viper, Paul symbolically ‘appears before’ the emperor Nero—something that is anticipated yet never happens overtly in the narrative of Acts itself.
