內容簡介
《酒神女信徒》尤里比底斯 希臘悲劇
酒神戴奧尼索斯是由宙斯及其凡人情婦塞墨勒生下的半人半神，但他的家族卻對他的神性抱持疑問。於是他便決定向他們展開報復......
在這齣希臘悲劇中包含了許多重要的主題：當規範被顛覆之時，原本緊密的社會結構便會隨之瓦解；宗教上對立的觀點碰撞後，將引起孰是孰非的爭執；理性與原始本能共存於人類的雙重天性中。
在這份清晰兼具生動性的詮釋中，劇本中的語言精確又不失底蘊，並融入抑揚格五音步的架構。閱讀Aaron Poochigian流暢的譯本就如同觀看現場演出一樣。
“Poochigian’s translation is a triumph―a remarkably lucid and vibrant rendition . . . The script’s language is precise yet sonorous, expertly constructed in iambic pentameter to both moving and chilling effect.”
--Aram Kouyoumdjian, Asbarez
“By far the most theatrically assured rendition of the play I’ve encountered. The fluid translation by Aaron Poochigian is as mercurial as the staging.”
--Charles McNulty, The Los Angeles Times
作者介紹
Euripides (/jʊəˈrɪpᵻdiːz/ or /jɔːˈrɪpᵻdiːz/; Greek: Εὐριπίδης; Ancient Greek: [eu̯.riː.pí.dɛːs]) (c. 480 – 406 BC) was a tragedian of classical Athens. He is one of the few whose plays have survived, with the others being Aeschylus, Sophocles, and potentially Euphorion. Some ancient scholars attributed 95 plays to him but according to the Suda it was 92 at most. Of these, 18 or 19 have survived more or less complete (there has been debate about his authorship of Rhesus, largely on stylistic grounds) and there are also fragments, some substantial, of most of the other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly due to mere chance and partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined—he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes and Menander.
Aaron Poochigian has published four books of poetry and several translations, including Aristophanes: Four Plays (2021) and Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments by Sappho (2009). He lives in New York City.
