Abstract

This paper presents the case for reading the Hephaisteion as a temple planned and begun by the Philaid family early in the fifth century. It was originally designed to give a house to Hephaestus in Athens after the successful campaign of Miltiades brought the island of Lemnos, traditionally the home of Hephaestus, under Athenian control. Work on the temple was interrupted by the death of Miltiades but resumed in the wake of Cimon’s successful northern ventures. The strong association of Miltiades and Cimon with the strategic islands of the northern Aegean suggests that the correct interpretation of the Hephaisteion’s east frieze is the expulsion of the Pelasgians from Athens. Their punishment is interpreted here as a mythological analogue for the annexation of the Pelasgians’ island, Lemnos. Evidence from the island demonstrates that the Athenian cleruchs on Lemnos were eager to distinguish themselves from the Lemnians. The Pelasgian episode enabled them to demonstrate this, and to emphasize their Athenian identity.

Lemnos、Cimon和Hephaisteion
本文介绍了将Hephaisteion解读为一座由菲莱家族在五世纪初规划并开始建造的寺庙的案例。它最初的设计目的是在米尔蒂亚德斯战役成功后,在雅典为赫菲斯托斯建造一座房子,勒姆诺斯岛是赫菲斯托s的传统家园,处于雅典人的控制之下。米尔蒂亚德斯之死中断了这座寺庙的建设,但在西蒙成功的北方冒险之后,这座寺庙又恢复了。Miltiades和Cimon与爱琴海北部战略岛屿的紧密联系表明,对Hephaisteion东雕带的正确解释是将Pelasgian人驱逐出雅典。在这里,他们的惩罚被解释为对佩拉斯人的岛屿莱姆诺斯的吞并的神话模拟。来自该岛的证据表明,莱姆诺斯岛上的雅典神职人员渴望将自己与莱姆尼亚人区分开来。Pelasgian事件使他们能够证明这一点,并强调他们的雅典身份。
