Abstract: This article argues that the structure of Astronomica 1 is based on Aratus’ Phaenomena and the Latin Aratea. Manilius’ text, of course, addresses numerous topics unknown to the Aratean tradition and promotes an astrological worldview foreign to Aratus. By enthusiastically incorporating non-Aratean material into his Aratean book and repurposing the framework and language of the Aratean tradition, Manilius composes a “Hyper-Aratea” that implicitly critiques the value and outlook of figures like Aratus, Cicero, and Vergil. This maneuver contributes to Manilius’ self-representation as a literary Phaethon who sets fire to the Aratean heavens, and reveals the contention surrounding Aratus at Rome.

重新利用星星:Manilius、Astronomica 1 和 Aratean 传统

摘要:本文认为 Astronomica 1 的结构是基于 Aratus 的 Phaenomena 和拉丁文 Aratea。当然,Manilius 的文本解决了许多 Aratean 传统所不知道的话题,并促进了 Arates 陌生的占星学世界观。通过热情地将非阿拉特人的材料纳入他的阿拉特书,并重新利用阿拉特人传统的框架和语言,马尼利乌斯撰写了一个“超阿拉特亚”,含蓄地批评了阿拉图斯、西塞罗和维吉尔等人物的价值和观点。这一策略有助于马尼利乌斯将自我描述为文学法厄同,他点燃了阿拉特的天堂,并揭示了围绕罗马的阿拉图斯的争论。
