古中學程戊戌年古典學大師講座 :愛丁堡大學康道佮(Douglas Cairns)教授

【古中學程戊戌年古典學大師講座 7/9-8/17】
荷馬史詩:鉤玄提要 枝分節解
康道佮(英國愛丁堡大學古典系)

§

荷馬史詩是由《伊利亞德》與《奧德賽》所構成,康教授此次主要講授《伊利亞德》。該文主訴大名鼎鼎的特洛伊戰爭與木馬屠城的所有歷程。在諸神、英雄與人物間可歌可泣的磅礡互動裡,交織的不只是一段遠近馳名的歷史,也是古典希臘人身份認同與探索天人之際的養料。荷馬史詩的地位猶如印度文明的《薄伽梵歌》,也是希臘古典哲學與科學萌芽的前奏。在臺能夠以豐厚的古典希臘文為研讀基礎,又具備當時社會風俗的深入認知以解析荷馬史詩的學者並不多見。

康道佮(DouglasCairns)為英國愛丁堡⼤學古典系的教授,專⻑為古典語⾔以及古典時期的倫理學、⼼理學,專注於研究史詩、悲劇中所反映出來的的古典希臘社會圖像、倫理與情緒(emotion)等課題。代表作有《愛多⼠:古希臘⽂學中的榮辱倫理與⼼理學》(Aidôs: The Psychology and Ethics of Honour and Shame in Ancient Greek Literature)等⼗餘冊。

【PWCMC 2018 VISITING PROFESSOR OF CLASSICS 7/9-8/17】
HOMERIC EPICS
Professor Douglas Cairns
(Department of Classics, University of Edinburgh)

Composed of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Homeric Epics sing the struggles between the polis, heroes, and gods, and remain as one of the greatest works in the Western literary tradition. While the Odyssey speaks of Odysseus’ ten-year home-returning after Trojan War, the Iliad tells the tale of the war itself, including the rage of Achilles, the age-old struggles between the Olympian gods, and the legendary fall of Troy. Overtime the story has been told over and over again, flowing with the ancient blood that now sheds light on the thriving western culture. With a focus on the Iliad, the course introduces the themes and structure of the epic poem and invites all to discuss about its literary interpretation.

Coming from Department of Classics in University of Edinburgh, Professor Douglas Cairns specializes in language, emotion, and society in Classical Greece. Some of his works include Aidôs: The Psychology and Ethics of Honour and Shame in Ancient Greek Literature and Bacchylides: Five Epinician Odes (3, 5, 9, 11 and 13). Do not miss the chance to learn about the Homeric tradition with our annual visiting professor this summer!
