summary:

Herodas’s reference in Mime 6 to a stolen dildo in the possession of “Nossis, daughter of Erinna” (the names of two female poets) represents a metapoetic attack on the popularity of feminine poetry in the Hellenistic period. By associating the dildo-maker with Homer, who represents poetry’s role in shaping the ideal male citizen of the Classical polis, Herodas uses Nossis’ theft of the dildo to criticize the appropriation and misuse of the morally edifying masculine poetic tradition, in his view, for the purpose of female pleasure and gratification, exposing anxieties about the erosion of Classical masculinity in the Hellenistic period.

诺西斯的假阳具：对希罗达的第六个哑剧中女性诗歌的一种隐喻攻击

概括：

希罗达斯在《哑剧6》中提到“艾琳娜的女儿诺西斯”（两位女诗人的名字）藏有被盗的假阳具，这是对古希腊时期女性诗歌盛行的一种隐喻性攻击。在他看来，通过将假阳具制造商与代表诗歌在塑造古典都市理想男性公民中扮演角色的荷马联系起来，希律达斯利用诺西斯的假阳具盗窃行为来批评挪用和滥用道德上具有教育意义的阳刚诗传统，出于女性愉悦和满足的目的，暴露了对希腊化时期古典男性气质侵蚀的担忧。
