The article examines the figure of Lampon, an uncharacteristic goatherd appearing in a folk-tale-like story in Xenophon’s Ephesiaca 2.9–12. It has long been recognized by critics that the circumstances of the Euripidean Electra are recalled in the episode under discussion. Comparisons are made with the Euripidean scene and the “reshuffling” of the main roles is expounded, including the novelist’s decision to make Anthia the partner of a goatherd and not the wife of a lowly farmer. On the basis of thematic and verbal similarities, it is argued that Xenophon appears to have a direct knowledge of Euripides’ Electra, which he imaginatively exploits. Subtle details of occupation and name are also discussed in relation to the stereotypical αἰπόλος and the ἄγροικος. A characteristic feature recalling the Aristotelian notion of ἀγροικία is pointed, and it is concluded that Xenophon skilfully subverts the stereotypes, as he does not endow Lampon with the traditional negative marking of ἄγροικοι and αἰπόλοι, and indeed moulds an anti-aipolos.

兰彭在色诺芬的《以弗所书：牧羊人的重构》中的插曲

这篇文章考察了兰彭的形象，兰彭是色诺芬以弗所书 2.9-12 中一个民间故事般的故事中出现的一个不寻常的牧羊人。评论家早就认识到，在讨论中的情节中回顾了欧里庇得斯伊莱克特拉的情况。与欧里庇得斯的场景进行了比较，阐述了主要角色的“重新洗牌”，包括小说家决定让安西娅成为牧羊人的伴侣，而不是卑微农夫的妻子。基于主题和语言的相似性，有人认为色诺芬似乎直接了解欧里庇得斯的厄勒克特拉，他富有想象力地利用了厄勒克特拉。职业和名称的微妙细节也与刻板的 αἰπόλος 和 ἄγροικος 相关。一个让人想起亚里士多德的 ἀγροικία 概念的特征被指出，
