Abstract

The Achaean wall is a curious object that appears in Iliad 7 only to disappear in book 12 with a vehemence that is unique in the Homeric landscape. Puzzling in every other respect, is the wall even a single, coherent object? While the Alexandrians and their successors accepted Nestor's proposal and the construction of the wall as genuinely Homeric, modern critics of the analytic persuasion assume it must be an interpolation. This essay takes its cues from the ancient sources, which I believe indicate the most fruitful way of reading the episode and the wall generally—namely, as an object lesson in Homeric fictionality and its limits in the minds of successive readers of the Homeric poems.

制造与破坏:亚该亚城墙与荷马批评中虚构的局限
亚该亚城墙是一个奇怪的物体,出现在《伊利亚特》第7章,但在第12章却消失了,其激烈程度在荷马史诗中是独一无二的。在其他方面令人费解的是,这堵墙甚至是一个单一的、连贯的物体吗?虽然亚历山大人和他们的后继者接受了内斯特的建议,并将长城的建造作为真正的荷马式的,但分析说服的现代批评者认为它一定是一种插值。本文从古代文献中获取线索,我认为这是阅读这一情节和城墙的最有效的方法,也就是说,作为荷马虚构性及其在荷马诗歌后续读者心中的局限性的客观教训。
