Abstract
Abstract:Based on visualizations created from a new 3D model, this article reexamines IG XIV 1, the famous dedication carved on the topmost riser on the krepis of the temple of Apollo at Syracuse. The revised text presented here describes a poietes, Kleosthenes or Kleosimenes, who created equipment for the installation of the columns that rose above it. The new reading undermines the prevailing interpretation that IG XIV 1 primarily concerns financial oversight. A review of similar Archaic-period dedicatory inscriptions for buildings and sculpture, as well as the technological relationships between early Doric architecture and Aegean monumental sculpture, suggests that the text instead celebrates the construction of the gigantic colonnades around the temple.
摘要:本文基于一个新的3D模型,重新审视了雕刻在锡拉丘兹阿波罗神庙尖顶立板上的著名献词IG XIV 1。这里展示的修订文本描述了一个诗人,Kleosthenes或Kleosimenes,他创造了安装在它上面的柱子的设备。新的解读破坏了普遍的解释,即第XIV 1条主要涉及金融监管。对类似的古代时期建筑和雕塑的铭文,以及早期多立克建筑和爱琴海纪念性雕塑之间的技术关系的回顾表明,这些文字颂扬的是神庙周围巨大柱廊的建造。
