This contribution explores the use of apostrophe (address by the narrator to the heroic figures) in Nonnus’ Dionysiaca. Nonnus inherits the use of this device from his epic predecessors: the emotional force of apostrophe is present in Homer; apostrophe as a marker of intertextual engagement with other genres (such as hymns or bucolic poetry) can be found in Hellenistic poetry. Most of the apostrophes in Nonnus are found in book 25 of the Dionysiaca, a passage rife with explicit poetological discussion of the relation between the Nonnian narrator and Homer. Apostrophe can here be read as a dramatization of this intertextual dialog with his “father” Homer.

从荷马到 Nonnus 的史诗撇号

这篇文章探讨了 Nonnus 的 Dionysiaca 中撇号的使用（叙述者对英雄人物的称呼）。Nonnus 从他的史诗前辈那里继承了这种装置的使用：撇号的情感力量存在于荷马；在希腊诗歌中可以找到撇号作为与其他体裁（例如赞美诗或田园诗）进行互文互动的标志。Nonnus 中的大部分撇号都可以在 Dionysiaca 的第 25 卷中找到，该段落充满了关于 Nonnus 叙述者和荷马之间关系的明确的诗学讨论。撇号在这里可以被解读为与他的“父亲”荷马的这种互文对话的戏剧化。
