“Dares Phrygius”的意思、由来-百科全书

Dares Phrygius

Trojan priest

Trojan priest of Hephaestus who appears as one of the characters in Homer's Iliad, Book V, and is the reputed author of a lost pre-Homeric “eyewitness” account of the Trojan War. The Daretis Phrygii de Excidio Trojae historia, a Latin work purporting to be a translation of this, dates probably from the 5th century AD. (The Greek original may be dated to the 3rd century AD.) The influence of this pro-Trojan work in the Latin-speaking West from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Renaissance, a period when the works of Homer were known only by hearsay, was enormous. It was widely used as a source by medieval writers of Troy romances. See also Troy.
