摘要

摘要:埃里索是卢坎的《文明战争》的读者们长久以来所喜爱的人物，她是一个充满邪恶力量的怪诞女巫。在本文中，我探讨了这首诗是如何含蓄地反对这种声誉的，尽管它明确地支持它。在首先说明了她在叙事行动中的行为如何与她的性格和能力的原始描述形成对比之后，我特别转向埃里克托的周到承诺，即在她的巫术中让复活的尸体安息。通过履行这一承诺，埃里克托在卢坎的诗中强调了关于代理和身体自主的令人不安的对话:尤其是当她的行为与卢坎自己的行为形成对比时，因为他在史诗中充斥着另一种复活的尸体。

Courtesy for Corpses: Erictho's Disturbing Decency in Lucan's Bellum Civile

Abstract:Erictho's reputation as a grotesque witch seeping with malevolent power has long captivated readers of Lucan's Bellum Civile. In this paper, I explore how the poem implicitly works against this reputation even while explicitly endorsing it. After first illustrating how her behavior in the narrative action contrasts with the original description of her character and abilities, I turn specifically to Erictho's considerate promise to lay the reanimated corpse in her necromancy to rest. By fulfilling this promise, Erictho spotlights unsettling conversations of agency and bodily autonomy in Lucan's poem: especially as her behavior contrasts with Lucan's own as he populates his epic with reanimated corpses of a different kind.
