Abstract

Commentators have long recognized a pair of Homeric allusions following Medea’s meeting with Jason (Argon. 3.1150–54), but they have overlooked an additional intertext that goes to the heart of her psychological state. I here argue that Plato’s Phaedrus, specifically the “winged chariot” simile of Socrates’ second speech (Phdr. 246a–56e), helps clarify the upward flight of Medea’s soul and (as already noted by Apollonian scholia) her loss of mental capacity. Homeric and Platonic contexts then interact, particularly around comparisons between Medea and Nausicaa, to produce a subtle, multilayered image of love’s madness.

美狄亚柏拉图式的灵魂飞走了。氩。-54 - 3.1150)

评论家们早就认识到美狄亚与伊阿宋(《亚冈》3.1150-54)相遇后的荷马典喻，但他们忽视了另一个深入她心理状态核心的互文。我在这里认为柏拉图的《费德鲁斯篇》，特别是苏格拉底第二次演讲(dr. 246a-56e)中“有翼的战车”的比喻，有助于阐明美狄亚灵魂的向上飞行，以及(正如阿波罗学派已经注意到的)她精神能力的丧失。荷马和柏拉图的背景相互作用，尤其是在美狄亚和娜乌西卡之间的比较，产生了一个微妙的，多层次的爱的疯狂形象。

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
