This paper examines the ways in which the relationship between Helen and Paris is represented at different stages of the myth by two different epic texts – and how these representations interact. The first representation is found in Book 3 of the Iliad where Helen voices shame and disappointment with Paris after he has been defeated in combat by Menelaus. The second is a scene from Colluthus’ Abduction of Helen which shows the very first meeting of the couple. The paper demonstrates how Colluthus’ passage clearly echoes the Homeric one, functioning as a prequel, but at the same time building on it as well. On the one hand, Colluthus answers questions which had been left open by Homer, while on the other hand he challenges his readers to read the scene through the lens of the Iliad. The perceptive reader will observe how the two texts can ultimately influence each other’s meanings.

海伦的欺骗：阅读Colluthus反对荷马

本文考察了海伦和帕里斯之间的关系在神话的不同阶段通过两种不同的史诗文本表现的方式——以及这些表现如何相互作用。第一种表现形式出现在《伊利亚特》的第 3 卷中，海伦在帕里斯被墨涅劳斯打败后表达了对帕里斯的羞耻和失望。第二个是 Colluthus 绑架海伦的场景，展示了这对夫妇的第一次见面。这篇论文展示了科卢图斯的段落如何清晰地呼应荷马的段落，作为前传，但同时也建立在它的基础上。一方面，Colluthus 回答了荷马留下的问题，另一方面，他挑战读者通过伊利亚特的镜头阅读场景。
