摘要

公元前477年，由雕塑家克里提奥斯(Kritios)和尼西奥特斯(Nesiotes)在雅典集市(Athenian Agora)上雕刻的杀害Tyrannicides的哈莫迪奥斯(Harmodios)和亚里士多德(Aristogeiton)的铜像，在整个古典时期和希腊化时期都为雅典人所熟知。在修昔底德对弑君者行为的描述中，他将这两个人定义为恋人(erasteres和eromenos)，这导致了人们的假设，即这些描述在某种程度上是这两个人的肖像。我认为修昔底德的描述是对雕塑误读的根源。更确切地说，这些人物的模型是当代巨人的代表——亚里士多德以阿波罗为原型——因此，通过对神话的暗示，雕刻家创造了多重价值的人物，象征着超越他们行为的东西。

THE TYRANNICIDES: A NEW APPROACH TO TEXT AND IMAGE

The bronze statues of the Tyrannicides, Harmodios and Aristogeiton, by the sculptors Kritios and Nesiotes, set up in the Athenian Agora in 477 bc, were well known to Athenians throughout the classical and Hellenistic periods. In Thucydides’ account of the deed of the Tyrannicides, he defines the two as lovers (erastes and eromenos), which has led to the assumption that the depictions are in some way likenesses of the two men. I argue that Thucydides’ account has been the source of a misreading of the sculptures. Rather, the models for the figures are contemporary representations of the Gigantomachy – Aristogeiton being based on Apollo – and thus, through the allusion to myth, the sculptors created multivalent figures that were emblematic of something that transcended their deed.

期刊介绍： Published with the wider audience in mind, Greece & Rome features informative and lucid articles on ancient history, art, archaeology, religion, philosophy, and the classical tradition. Although its content is of interest to professional scholars, undergraduates and general readers who wish to be kept informed of what scholars are currently thinking will find it engaging and accessible. All Greek and Latin quotations are translated. A subscription to Greece & Rome includes a supplement of New Surveys in the Classics. These supplements have covered a broad range of topics, from key figures like Homer and Virgil, to subjects such as Greek tragedy, thought and science, women, slavery, and Roman religion. The 2007 New Survey will be Comedy by Nick Lowe.
