Abstract

This article discusses Philo’s use of the well-known state is ship metaphor. After offering a definition of topos and intertextuality, I discuss passages from the Philonic corpus in which this image features. I will argue that Philo’s use of the state is ship metaphor in most of his writings must be attributed to Philo’s familiarity with a literary trope rather than to intertextual borrowing. The exception is Philo’s Legatio ad Gaium where, I intend to show, Philo’s formulation of the metaphor draws an intertextual connection with Plato’s Republic.

国家之船:《亚历山大的菲洛》中的隐喻与互文性
本文论述了菲洛对“国是船”的比喻。在给出拓扑和互文性的定义后,我讨论了Philonic语料库中这一图像所包含的段落。我认为,菲洛在其大部分作品中使用的国家是船的隐喻,必须归因于菲洛对文学比喻的熟悉,而不是互文借用。例外的是菲洛的《Legatio ad Gaium》,我想表明,菲洛对隐喻的表述与柏拉图的《理想国》有着互文的联系。

期刊介绍: The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
