Abstract:This article argues that the Iliad uses the figure of the Homeric mother, who represents both protection and destruction, as a symbol for the instability of epic warrior values. Heroes are meant to protect their cities and comrades, just as mothers are meant to protect their children. However, the warrior’s imperative to seek kleos and timē may cause him to disregard his protective role, just as mothers may subvert their life-giving function through the murder of their children. By using maternal imagery to describe warriors, the Iliad emphasizes how their competing values of kleos and protection often become mutually exclusive.

母性战士：伊利亚特中的性别与克里奥

摘要：本文认为《伊利亚特》以荷马母亲的形象作为象征，象征着史诗战士价值观的不稳定性。英雄是为了保护自己的城市和战友，就像母亲是为了保护自己的孩子一样。然而，战士寻求 kleos 和 timē 的必要性可能会导致他无视自己的保护角色，就像母亲可能通过谋杀孩子来破坏他们赋予生命的功能一样。通过使用母性意象来描述战士，《伊利亚特》强调了他们对克里奥和保护的相互竞争的价值观是如何相互排斥的。
