23、, nearMantuaItalydied September 21, 19BCE, Brundisium), Roman poet, best known for his nationalepic, theAeneid(fromc.30BCE; unfinished at his death).Virgil was regarded by the Romans as their greatest poet. His fame rests chiefly upon theAeneid, which tells the story ofRomes legendary founder and pr

24、oclaims the Roman mission to civilize the world under divine guidance. His reputation as a poet endures not only for the music andhis verse and for his skill in constructing an intricate work on the grand scale but also because he embodiedaspects of experience and behavour of permanent significance.

25、AeneidAeneas, mythicalheroofTroyandRome, son of the goddessAphroditeandAnchises. Aeneas was a member of the royal line atTroyand cousin ofHector. He played a prominent part in defending his city against the Greeks during theTrojan War, being second only to Hector in ability.Homerimplies that Aeneas

26、did not like his subordinate position, and from that suggestion arose a later tradition that Aeneas helped to betray Troy to the Greeks. The more common version, however, made Aeneas the leader of the Trojan survivors after Troy was taken by the Greeks. In any case, Aeneas survived the war, and his

27、figure was thus available to compilers of Romanmyth.It wasVirgilwho, during the 1st centuryBCE, gave the various strands of legend related to Aeneas the form they have possessed ever since. The family ofJulius Caesar, and consequently of Virgils patronAugustus, claimed descent from Aeneas, whose son

28、Ascaniuswas also called Iulus. Incorporating these different traditions, Virgil created the Latin epic poem whose hero symbolized not only the course and aim of Roman history but also the career and policy of Augustus himself. In the journeying of Aeneas from Troy westward to Sicily, Carthage, and f

35、we will explore the first Greek-speaking societies in the Eastern Mediterranean, their collapse, and then the emergence of a new and powerful form of civilization created in the cities of Archaic Greece.Aegean SeaCreteCorinthCycladesKnossosMyceanePoloponnese SpartaThe period between the catastrophic

36、 end of the Mycenaean civilization and about 900 BCE is often called a Dark Age. Homers “Dark Age,” from 1200 to 700 B.C.E.,It is the distant echo of a vanished world, the world of “the goodly citadel of Athens, wealthy Corinth, Knossos and Gortys of the great walls, and the established fortress of

37、Mycenae.” The poet lived in an age of illiterate warrior herdsmen, of impoverished, scattered, and sparsely populated villages. Still, in the depths of this “Dark Age,” roughly from 1200 to 700 B.C.E., the distant memory of a time of rich palaces, teeming cities, and powerful kings lived on. Homer a

38、nd his contemporaries could not know that these confused memories stemmed from the last great Bronze Age (ca. 35001200 B.C.E.) civilization of the Mediterranean. Still less could they have imagined that they were preparing the foundations of a far greater and lasting civilization, that of classical

39、Greece.The Evidence of HomerThe two epic poemsthe Iliad and the Odysseyhint at this something new. The Iliad is the older poem, dating probably to the second half of the eighth century B.C.E. The Odyssey dates from perhaps 50 years later. Traditionally ascribed to Homer, these epics were actually th

40、e work of oral bards or performers who composed as they chant- ed. Although the Homeric poems explicitly harken back to the Mycenaean age, much of the description of life, society, and culture actually reflects Dark Age conditions. Thus Homers heroes were petty kings, chieftains, and nobles. The Hom

41、eric hero Odysseus is typical of these Dark Age chieftains. In the Iliad and the Odyssey he is king of Ithaca, a small island on the west coast of Greece. He retained command of his men only as long as he could lead them to victory in the raids against their neighbors. Odysseus describes his departu

42、re for home after the fall of Troy with pride:The wind that bore me from Ilios brought me . . . to Ismarus, whereupon I sacked their city and slew the people. And from the city we took their wives and much goods, and divided them among us, that none through me might go lacking his proper share.Homer

43、s IliadThe wrath of the great warrior Achilles is the subject of Homers Iliad, the first and greatest epic poem of the Mediterranean West, written shortly after 750 B.C.E. Angered by a perceived slight to his honor, Achilles sulks in his tent while the other Achaeans, or Greeks, fight a desperate an

44、d losing battle against their enemies, the defenders of the city of Troy. Only after his friend Patroclus is slain by the Trojan Prince Hector does Achilles return to the battle to avenge his fallen comrade and propel the Achaeans to victory. Near the end of the epic, after he has slain Hector in ha

45、nd-to-hand combat, Achilles ties his foes body to the back of his chariot and drags it three times around Patrocluss tomb to appease his friends spirit. The gods are horrified at this demeaning treatment of the body of one who had always been faithful in his sacri- fices. Zeus, the chief god, sends

46、his messenger Iris to Hectors mourning parents, his father, Priam, king of Troy, and his mother, Hecuba. Iris urges them to ransom their sons body from Achilles. Moved by the message, Priam goes to Achilles tent to plead for Hectors body. Achilles, moved by pity and grief for his own father and for

47、Patroclus, grants the old king his request, and Priam returns in sorrow to Troy bearing the body of his son for burial.For all its violent action, the Iliad is concerned less with what people do than with how they face the great challenges of life and death. Hector had died well and, in so doing, wo

48、n immortal fame from his enemies, the Greeks. Achilles eventually acted well and, in his encounter with Priam, faced the universal elements of human destiny: life, love, suffering, endurance, death. Such sentiments, expressed by Homer, became an enduring heritage of Greek civilization and, through i

49、t, the civilization of the West. I.

In that year,

51、the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans made the first of a series of extraordinary archaeological discoveries at Knossos, the legendary palace of Minos. Cretes location between the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent, Egypt, and the barbarian worlds of the north and west made the island a natu

52、ral point of exchange and amalgamation of cultures. Still, during the golden age of Crete, roughly between 2000 and 1550 B.C.E., the island developed its unique traditions.Although Minoan society was not clearly matriarchal, it nevertheless differed considerably from the floodplain civilizations of

53、the Near East and the societies that were developing on the mainland. At least until the fourteenth century B.C.E., both men and women seem to have played important roles in religious and public life and together built a structured society without the need for vast armies or warrior kings. Around 14

54、50 B.C.E., a wave of destruction engulfed all of the Cretan cities except Knossos, which was finally annihilated around 1375 B.C.E. 米诺文明时期米诺文明时期 (3000-1100 BC）这段时间克里特岛经历了重大的发展，成为海上贸易和艺术创作的中心。人口分为农民、牧人和海商，其中大多数为海商，并和亚洲、非洲和基克拉迪群岛建立了密切的贸易关系。这个时期被命名为米诺文明时期，这是英国考古学家阿瑟埃文斯在挖掘克诺索斯宫期间根据米诺斯王的传说而命名的。没有证据表明米诺斯是

55、一位军人，他们的兴旺繁荣，看起来主要是因为在商业方面的非凡能力。可是也可能正因为在军事文化方面的匮乏才导致他们最终走向没落。希腊考古学家N. Platonas依据米诺大宫殿时期的各时间间隔把它们按年代顺序分类为以下几个时期：Mainland of WarThe contrast between the vulnerable islands and the violent Greek mainland was particularly marked. Around 1600 B.C.E., a new and powerful warrior civilization arose on the

56、Peloponnesus at Mycenae. The only remains of the first phase of this civilization are 30 graves found at the bottom of deep shafts arranged in two circles. The swords, axes, and armor that fill the graves emphasize the warrior lives of their occu- pants. By 1500 B.C.E., mainland Greeks were using hu

57、ge tholoi, or beehive-shaped tombs, for royal burials. Over 50 such tombs have been found on the Greek mainland, as have the remains of over 500 villages and great palaces at Mycenae, Tiryns, Athens, Thebes, Gla, and Pylos. This entire civilization, which encompassed not only the mainland but also p

58、arts of the coast of Asia Minor, is called Mycenaean, although there is no evidence that the city of Mycenae actually ruled all of Greece.The Dark AgeMycenaean domination did not last for long. Around 1200 B.C.E., many of the mainland and island fortresses and cities were sacked and totally destroye

59、d. In some areas, such as Pylos, the population fell to roughly 10 percent of what it had been previously. Centralized government, literacy, urban lifecivilization itselfdisappeared from Greece for over 400 years. Why and how this happened are among the great mysteries of world history.In later cent

60、uries, the Greeks believed that after the Trojan War, new peoples, especially the Dorians, had migrated into Greece, destroying Mycenae and most of the other Achaean cities. More recently, some historians have argued that catastrophic climatic changes, volcanic eruptions, or some other natural disas
