略论古希腊戏剧的宗教性

古希腊戏剧起源于酒神狄奥尼索斯的庆祭仪式。在古希腊戏剧萌芽、产生、发展和成熟的过程中,始终受到古希腊社会、宗教环境的束缚,洋溢着浓厚的宗教色彩。从古希腊戏剧的题材、结构、情节乃至内容里,都可以找到宗教仪式的影子,所以古希腊的戏剧演出自始至终都不仅仅是一种纯娱乐的活动,而是城邦政治生活和宗教生活的一部分。

On the Religious Respect of the Ancient Greek Drama

The ancient Greek drama rooted in the rituals of Dionysos cult. In its development, the drama was restricted by the religious environment and the Greek society. The impacts from the rituals and religion were common in the subject, the structure and the plot of the dramas. So the drama performance is not a pure leisure for ancient Greek, but a part of their political and religious life.
