摘要
普拉塔伊是一个纪念地,每四年举行一次的埃柳瑟亚运动会(Eleutheria)在激活和重塑人们对公元前 479 年战役的记忆方面发挥了重要作用。根据斯特拉波、普鲁塔克等人的说法,该运动会是在战役结束后直接创办的,但这只是杜撰;最早的可靠证据可追溯到公元前三世纪。从那时起,埃柳瑟节就成为希腊竞技体育系统中的一项重要活动,许多竞技体育碑文都记载了这一节日。除了常规的体育竞技项目外,还举行了一场名为 apo tou tropaiou 的比赛,参赛者必须身披重甲跑完 15 斯达亚的长距离。这样的比赛在希腊田径运动中是独一无二的,菲洛斯特拉托斯在书中写到了一个非常奇特的规则:在比赛中获胜的运动员如果想再次取得胜利,一旦失败就会被处死。Eleutheria 既与普拉泰伊战役有关,也与希腊人的团结有关,因此对于本卷的主题至关重要。这篇论文收集了零散的证据,首先讨论了 Eleutheria 在希腊田径运动体系中的地位,其次讨论了 Philostratos 所提到的特殊角斗士种族的象征意义。
Plataiai is a lieu de mémoire, and the Eleutheria, an athletic agon held every fourth year, played an important part in activating and reshaping the memory of the battle of 479 BC. According to Strabo, Plutarch and others, the agon had been founded directly after the battle, but this is an invention; the earliest reliable evidence dates back to the third century BC. From this time onwards, the Eleutheria formed an important event in the Greek agonistic system, the festival being attested in numerous agonistic inscriptions. In addition to the usual gymnic disciplines, a race apo tou tropaiou was held, in which the contestants had to run a long distance of 15 stadia with heavy armour. Sucha race was unique in Greek athletics, and Philostratos writes about a very peculiar rule: athletes who had won this race and tried to repeat their victory were killed if they failed. The Eleutheria refer both to the battle of Plataiai and to the unity of the Greeks and are thus of crucial importance for the topic of this volume. This contribution collects the scattered evidence and discusses, first, the position of the Eleutheria in the system of Greek athletics and, second, the symbolic power of the peculiar hoplite race mentioned by Philostratos.
