《神曲》与古典神话

意大利诗人但丁著名的《神曲》三部曲中,大量地采用古希腊罗马神话题材和现代题材,突破了当时中世纪以宗教为主要题材的单一性,以此针砭时政,隐含着丰富而又深邃的主题。诗人运用象征隐喻的神话模式,将现实与理想、古代与当代、宗教与异教杂糅在一起,构成了一幅充满艺术想象的虚幻世界。可以说,《神曲》是古希腊罗马神话的延续。

Divine Comedy and Ancient Mythology

In the trilogy of Divine Comedy written,Dante Alighier broke though the unity taking the religion as a chief subject in the Middle Ages by adopting many themes of Roman mythology and modern subjects in ancient Greece,criticizing current politics and involving rich and profound subject.By using the mythology pattern standing for metaphor,the poet blended reality and ideal,ancient times and modern times,religion and paganism,forming a visionary world full of artistic imagination.It can be said that Divine Comedy is the continuance of Roman mythology in ancient Greece.
