今天下午读书,有三幅古希腊的陶片,让我痴迷不已。上网古狗了一下
,贴在这里,留个笔记:
Attic Black-Figure: Portico with fountain heads and women fetching water. ca.520-500BC ht 22.5in.
绝美!要能放大一下就更好。

Oracle of Delphi Greek Vase
Thanks for rzp, I had replaced your one here. --xw
450 B.C.This lovely kylix shows the oracle of Delphi reading the signs and
portents for Aegeas. The Oracle went by the name of Pythia, as she was embodiment
of the Pythian cult, based on the snake Python, son of Mother Earth. The
Oracle would sit on a tripod over a fissure in the earth and bathed in rising
vapors, go into a trance from which she could advise and warn. This kylix
pictures Pythia peering into her bowl which might have contained leaves
floating in a liquid, or sacrificial animal organs. Aegeas (Aegeus) was
King of Athens, father of Theseus who went to fight the Minotaur. Prior
to conceiving Theseus, Aegeas consulted the Oracle at Delphi on a male heir.
She gave him the cryptic advice: " Do not loosen the bulging mouth of the
wineskin until you have reached the heights of Athens." Aegeas eventually
married and celebrated his honeymoon in a drunken state, from which union
Theseus was born.

这么巧,今天傍晚我也在盯着这样一幅画看。刚才一看到你的,便觉得你这
幅跟我看到的不尽相同。你的很新,看她的脚,手和手上的叶子,两幅不大一样。

嗯,咱找的没有裂片,书上是有裂的,看来是仿制品。
一对照,原件是高级得多:(
但愿刚贴的那一对格拉古兄弟不膺品!

再上两个诗人的吧:
公元前五世纪。赫利孔山的缪斯。现存慕尼黑博物馆。
进酒歌
Alcaeus
天公点首,天风急,
河水结冰,
为御寒,且生火,
大缸多对蜜酒,
头枕舒服枕头。
莫要忧愁到心上,
满腥牢骚无益处!
美酒乃良药,
一醉消千愁。
公元前五世纪瓶画。阿尔凯奥斯与萨福见面,各执弦琴。
致阿尔凯奥斯
Sappho
你想说高尚美好的话,
你舌头上没有坏话要说,
眼睛中就不会有愧色,
尽管把正直的话直说。

Sepulchral Vase, Attic, second half of 8th . b.c
Terracotta; h. 42 5/8 in. (108.3 cm)
致斯科帕斯
Semonides
人要真正完美很难,
手脚和心思都应造得端正,
没有一处可以挑剔.
........
庇塔科斯的那句话
虽然出自他智者之口,却不恰切,
他说:"做好人难."
只有神才有这特权.
人类却遭受着难以抗拒的苦难,
他不可能不变坏.
任何人走运都会变成好人,
任何人倒霉都会变成坏人.
为神所爱,走好运才能成为好人.
所以我从不把这有限的一生
寄托于空虚的希望,
追求不可能的事业.
在享用大地果谷的人类中
我如果发现有谁
无可挑剔,我就向你们报告.
凡是并非故意做可耻事的人
我都赞扬,我都喜爱,
至于迫不得已的事诸神也难抗拒.
.........
.....我不爱挑剔.
谁虽不好,只要不做违法的事,
懂得什么是有利于城邦的正道,
谁就是健全的人,我就不对他挑剔.
因为糊涂的子孙为数极多,
只要不和坏事同流合污就好.
