摘要

摘要：荷马《奥德赛》在文学史上的文化地位不容低估。这本书激发了人们无休止的阅读和改编，尤其是在二十一世纪。在不断增长的奥德赛重新诠释列表中，有一部新的改编作品脱颖而出。丹尼尔·门德尔松（Daniel Mendelsohn）2017年的回忆录《奥德赛：父亲、儿子和史诗》（An Odyssey：A Father，A Son，and A Epic）讲述了一位古典学教授在荷马史诗本科课程中教他八旬老父的经历。本文探讨了门德尔松回忆录对《奥德赛》中父子关系的解读和重读。门德尔松通过使用阿那格诺里斯（认可）这一史诗般的惯例，以及挑战这首诗对父子关系的标准，探索了儿子真正了解父亲并继承父亲的程度。

Like Father, Like Son? Reading & Rereading Homer's Odyssey in Daniel Mendelsohn's An Odyssey

ABSTRACT:The cultural presence of Homer's Odyssey throughout literary history cannot be understated. It is a text that has inspired endless reading and adaptation, especially in the twenty-first century. One new adaptation stands out among the ever-growing list of Odyssey reinterpretations. Daniel Mendelsohn's 2017 memoir An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic recounts a classics professor's experience teaching his octogenarian father in an undergraduate course on Homer's epic. This essay explores the way Mendelsohn's memoir reads and rereads the father-son relationship in the Odyssey. Through the use of the epic convention of anagnorisis (recognition) as well as by challenging the poem's standard for father-son relationships, Mendelsohn explores the extent to which a son can truly know his father and succeed him.
