Rich with implications for the history of sexuality, gender issues, and patterns of Hellenic literary imagining, Marcel Detienne's landmark book recasts long-standing ideas about the fertility myth of Adonis. The author challenges Sir James Frazer's thesis that the vegetation god Adonis - whose premature death was mourned by women and whose resurrection marked a joyous occasion - represented the annual cycle of growth and decay in agriculture. Using the analytic tools of structuralism, Detienne shows instead that the festivals of Adonis depict a seductive but impotent and fruitless deity - whose physical ineptitude led to his death in a boar hunt, after which his body was found in a lettuce patch. Contrasting the festivals of Adonis with the solemn ones dedicated to Demeter, the goddess of grain, he reveals the former as a parody and negation of the institution of marriage. Detienne considers the short-lived gardens that Athenian women planted in mockery for Adonis's festival, and explores the function of such vegetal matter as spices, mint, myrrh, cereal, and wet plants in religious practice and in a wide selection of myths. His inquiry exposes, among many things, attitudes toward sexual activities ranging from 'perverse' acts to marital relations.

評分lepidus novus libellus。這是一本閱讀體驗非常奇妙的小書(畢竟正文隻有140頁左右)。如果說傳統的Frazer似的的神話解讀方式(還有印歐神話、近東神話)是尋找相似的故事模式,放在一起進行比較,最後得齣個豐産的結論的話,那麼Detienne的解讀雖然也注重故事模式,但是他的每一個相關的故事都是通過一個個spices聯係在一起的,從spices的botanical level(zoological level),上升到sociological level乃至astronomical level,Detienne成功揭示瞭一個神話意義不同層麵的stratum of layers,以揭示希臘神話自身的主體性。韋爾南的導論很有幫助,能夠一瞬間理解整本書的結構,批評也很有啓發。
