Abstract

Abstract: Pompey’s character in Lucan’s Bellum Civile provokes the same emotions as the tragic hero. Like an Aristotelian tragic hero, Pompey is condemned by fate but also exhibits certain defects which lead to his defeat and murder. Lucan focuses on the flaws of indecision and ambition which contribute to the general’s fall from his illustrious position. Although Pompey is intellectually and morally imperfect after the Battle of Pharsalus, he shows signs of improvement in both respects. At his assassination, moreover, Pompey accepts his place within fate, faces death magnanimously, and carries on the resistance against Caesar even after death.

《非莫守财奴:伟大的庞培在卢坎的《公民战争》中扮演亚里士多德式的悲剧英雄。
摘要:卢坎的《文明战争》中庞培的角色激发了与悲剧主人公同样的情感。就像亚里士多德的悲剧英雄一样,庞培受到命运的谴责,但也表现出某些缺陷,导致他的失败和谋杀。卢坎把重点放在优柔寡断和野心的缺点上,这些缺点导致了将军从他辉煌的位置上跌落。虽然庞培在法萨卢斯战役后在智力和道德上都不完美,但他在这两方面都表现出进步的迹象。而且,在他被暗杀时,庞培接受了命运的安排,宽宏大量地面对死亡,即使死后也继续抵抗凯撒。
