后记。古斯塔夫·施瓦布(GustavSchwab,1792—1850)是德国著名的浪漫主义诗人。他生于符腾堡宫廷官员家庭。曾任席勒的老师。1809—1814年在蒂宾根大学攻读神学和哲学,结识乌兰德等著名文学家。1815年去德国北部地区考察旅行,结识歌德和霍夫曼等人。他在文学上的主要贡献在于发掘和整理古代文化遗产,曾出版美好的故事和传说集,德国民间话本和希腊神话故事。他的主要诗集有博登湖上的骑士,马尔巴赫的巨人等。希腊神话故事为读者敞开了一扇观察和认识古希腊乃至欧洲文化的窗口。作为反映古希腊神衹和英雄故事的希腊神话故事的确给人类的文化生活留下了丰富的精神遗产。古代“希腊七贤”之一的哲学家泰利斯·封·弥勒特曾经说过:“神充斥一切!”他指出,古代的希腊人几乎都认为世界是神衹创造并由神衹统治的。尽管哲学家们把神衹从形象到内含都解释得十分抽象,可是这一切并不影响人们对神衹的信仰,因为对希腊人说来,没有神衹的世界那是不可理喻的。认为神衹就在身旁的意识逐步发展,最后成为希腊宗教。当然,希腊宗教并不是社会生活的特殊领域,它不仅作用于某一些时刻或者某一些隆重的场合,而且还具备穿透一切的力量。从这层意义上讲,希腊宗教成为孕育希腊文化的母体。美籍物理学家贝特(1906—)在分析欧美社会的生命现象时指出:“对一个具体的个人说来,生命从诞生到死亡,从清晨到夜晚,从家庭到社会,始终穿戴着宗教的外衣。没有一幢房子里没有祭奉神衹的场所,没有一天,没有一餐膳食,没有一场音乐会,没有一次集会不带祭祀,不带对神衹的问候。人们遇到每一件活动,信奉每一次欢乐,遭遇每一场烦恼,无论是幸福的欢呼或是痛苦的颤抖时都会感到神衹就在身前脚后,都会渴望地呼唤他们。一切艺术,建筑,绘画,造型,诗歌,音乐和舞蹈都围绕并且服务于宗教,应宗教的需要而发展,连运动员和养马人的体育比赛也是为了表彰神衹和英雄而举办的。”看来,古希腊人生活在一个虔诚的时代。人们无论把自己的眼光投向何方,在人类活动的一切领域内,他们都可看出人类是跟神衹的作用密切相联的。甚至钱币也铸印神衹的外貌和象征,从而显示其价值和神圣。尽管希腊人在他们的宗教仪式中表现出许多区别,可是宗教始终是他们最强有力的凝聚力。宗教文化久盛不衰,虔诚的宗教心理几乎成为创造社会文化的源泉。自然,信仰应该是任何宗教的起源和核心。跟基督教相比较,希腊人的信仰并不建立在上帝的启示以及显明的教义上,它没有必须履行义务的教条。相反,希腊宗教来源于坚定不移的信仰,信仰神衹是确实存在的。他们认为在生活中到处可以体验神的威力。当然,在人们的意识观念里表现神衹存在的形式是各不相同的。而且,在不同的时代,人们对神的认识和理解也不相同。古希腊人坚定地认为神是与世共存的。他们直到很久以后才慢慢地达成共识,把抬头可见,伸手却不可即的天空让给神衹。从此,神衹不再跟陆地上的凡人混迹其中,他们各自占有活动的领域,形成了神衹和凡人的天地之别。考究神话的原意,其实就是“话”,“故事”,“消息”。在希腊人广泛的语言习惯里,神话很快就区别于“逻各斯”,它意味着臆造的传说或寓言,而“逻各斯”则表示经史实证明了的故事,或者指哲学见解。因此,逻各斯排除了一切传说和寓言的成分。在希腊人的信仰领域里,神话意味着神衹般英雄的传说和故事,是他们的形象信息。必须说明,这里的形象并不是外表的图象,而是神衹们的气质形象。因此,神话作为古希腊民族精神的产品,它对希腊人意味着一种高层次的真实表现,这类真实是无法核定的。后来,在欧洲启蒙运动时期,欧洲人常把神话看作世人的臆造,可是希腊人却坚持认为神话是神衹客观存在的标志。神话在千百年的历史长河里强化了神衹客观存在的普遍认识。在神话世界中,神衹都以类似凡人的体态与人类相处,他们其实也被理解为人。因此,神话以及神话中塑造的神衹形象给人类的精神生活添加了巨大的影响。
