摘要

摘要:《帕拉廷文集》第十四卷除谜语和神谕外，还包括45句算术警句。长期被低估的诗歌，这些值得重新评估，根据最近的趋势，揭示一个复杂的文化议程的古代科学文学。通过关注两首特别精致的警句(AP 14.1和4)，本讨论开始探索这些诗歌的自我意识与各种文学和文化传统的联系。我认为，诗歌就像算术拼图一样，是一种复杂的工具，如果不是完全严肃的话，是柏拉图化和新毕达哥拉斯式的结合诗歌和数学的程序。

Socrates' Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything: Explaining the Arithmetical Riddles of AP 14

Abstract:Book 14 of the Palatine Anthology comprises, alongside proper riddles and oracles, forty-five arithmetical epigrams. Long underrated as poetry, these deserve to be reappraised in light of a recent trend of unmasking a complex cultural agenda of ancient scientific literature. By focusing on two particularly elaborate epigrams (AP 14.1 and 4), this discussion sets out to explore these poems' self-aware engagement with various literary and cultural traditions. I argue that as poetry as much as pieces of an arithmological jigsaw puzzle, these are vehicles for an intricate, if not entirely serious, Platonizing and neo-Pythagorean program of uniting poetry and mathematics.
