摘要

摘要:本文探讨了挽歌《阿莫里斯》3.7中对魔法的描写。在这首挽歌中,奥维德患有阳痿,他想知道自己的困境是否应该归咎于女巫。除了现有的元诗歌解读之外,我认为这首诗结合了对早期希腊罗马文学中著名女巫的典喻,以及对我们从材料记录中熟悉的实际仪式的详细再现,比如穿洞魔法娃娃,施放束缚和分离咒语。这些行为是为了引起奥维德在《阿玛姆》3.7中所经历的同样的死亡般的感觉,这意味着——尽管这首诗最终对魔法的功效提出了质疑——它仍然提供了这些咒语想象效果的“现实”写照。

Ovid and the Magic Doll: Witchcraft and Defixiones In Amores 3.7
Abstract:This paper explores the depiction of magic in Amores 3.7, an elegy in which "Ovid" suffers from impotence and wonders if a witch is to be blamed for his predicament. Adding to existing metapoetic readings, I argue that the poem combines allusions to famous witches from earlier Greco-Roman literature with detailed evocations of actual rites that are familiar to us from the material record, such as the piercing of magic dolls and the casting of binding and separation spells. These acts were meant to cause the same deathlike sensations that Ovid experiences in Am. 3.7, which means that—even though the poem ultimately calls the efficacy of magic into question—it nevertheless provides a "realistic" portrayal of these spells' imagined effects.
