柏拉图通过改编传统诗人的神话,创作出一种别样的“神话诗”。这种神话诗融合了劝谕与论证,使逻各斯具有诗和神话的形式,并使传统神话蕴涵着理性。柏拉图的神话诗既能促使人追求智慧以驯服血气,又能深化人向善的意愿。神话的劝谕让人意识到自身在宇宙中的位置,认清自己的本性而恪守本分。灵魂命运的神话则使神义论获得根本的维护,从而扭转了传统诗人的命运观:坏人得福,好人遭殃。
Plato created a different kind of “mythological poem” by adapting the mythology of traditional poets. This myth poem combines persuasion and argumentation, making the logos have the form of poetry and mythology, and making the traditional mythology imply rationality. Plato’s myth poetry can not only promote the pursuit of wisdom to tame blood, but also deepen the will of good. Mythological advice makes people aware of their place in the universe, recognize their own nature and abide by its duty. The myth of the fate of the soul has fundamentally maintained the theory of the theology, thus reversing the concept of the fate of the traditional poets: the bad guys are blessed and the good ones suffer.
