古希腊"艺术"的艺术性与非艺术性

依照鲁迅先生的说法,中国始于公元3世纪的魏晋时期是"文学的自觉时代".而古希腊的荷马史诗约诞生于公元前9-8世纪.如果荷马史诗是文艺作品的话,那么,为什么西方的"文学自觉时代"比中国早一千余年?社会存在决定社会意识.在东西方文明同步发展的过程中,如此巨大的差异是不可能存在的.从希腊神话中"文艺女神"的所作所为、希腊理论家对"文艺"即摹仿的看法及希腊各类作品的现实作用看,古希腊的"艺术"其实不是现代意义的真正的艺术.

The Artistic Quality and Non-artistic quality of Greek "Art"

In line with LU Xun's remark that the Period of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the 3rd Century A.D. was an "era of literary self-awareness'. Yet, Homer's epics in ancient Greece were born in about the 9th-8th centuries B.C. If Homer's epics had been literary works, then why the 'era of literary self-awareness" could have been earlier over 1000 years? It was the social existence that determines the social consciousness. In the process of the synchronic development of the Eastern and Western civilizations, such great differences couldn't have been in existence. From the perspectives of what "Goddess of art and literature" did, the Greek theorists' viewpoints on"Art and literature are imitation" and the practical roles of various kinds of works of Greece, "art" in ancient Greece, in reality, was not genuine art in its modern sense.
