扎格柔斯或譯為扎格列歐斯扎格留斯匝格瑞俄斯Zagreus希臘語Ζαγρεύς),有時祂被認定為奧菲斯教信徒所膜拜的神祇,是最初的酒神,乃宙斯與珀耳塞福涅所生之子,曾遭受泰坦的支解並且又獲重生。[1]最早提及扎格柔斯的神話中,祂與大地女神蓋亞是婚配關係並被尊為「至高」之神,不過有可能僅僅在指祂是冥界神祇中地位崇高者。然而埃斯庫羅斯卻把黑帝斯與扎格柔斯關係作了聯繫,認為祂可能為黑帝斯之子,亦或與黑帝斯是同一尊神祇。[2]值得注意的是「黑帝斯被認定成宙斯在陰間另一神格Hades' identity as Zeus' katachthonios[3] alter ego)」,有「陰間宙斯」稱號,提摩西·甘茨英語Timothy Gantz(Timothy Gantz)則假設最初扎格柔斯可能是黑帝斯與珀耳塞福涅之子,後來與奧菲斯教神祇狄俄倪索斯(本身為宙斯和珀耳塞福涅之子)身分等同。[4]

詞源

有關扎格柔斯原文──Zagreus的來源,正如同卡爾·克雷尼英語Károly Kerényi(Karl Kerényi)根據赫西丘斯訓詁(the Hesychian gloss)[5]所解釋的那樣:愛奧尼亞希臘語中捕捉活獵物的獵人被稱為zagreus,而zagre這字根其意思是「捕捉活獵物的坑pit for the capture of live animals)」。[6]克雷尼這麼說道「我們可以合理來質問,為何如此神話般偉大獵人,乃野生動物捕捉者而非屠殺者,到希臘卻轉變成冥界的神秘神靈呢?We may justifiably ask, why was this great mythical hunter, who in Greece became a mysterious god of the underworld, a capturer of wild animals and not a killer?)」[7]克雷尼也將扎格柔斯形象與古老酒神儀式聯繫起來,認為小動物遭肢解被生啖其肉,「此非希臘酒神教派作風,而是史前宗教儀式轉化或遺留之習俗not as an emanation of the Greek Dionysian religion, but rather as a migration or survival of a prehistoric rite)」。[8][9]

古希臘宗教觀的冥界

編輯

早期僅於亡佚作品的片段中有提及扎格柔斯,[10]當中已將希臘冥界與扎格柔斯做了連結。最早是出現於《阿爾克邁翁詩英語Alcmeonis》(Alcmeonis,西元前六世紀?)單獨引述的詩句:

中譯:大地之母〔蓋亞〕,以及諸神中至尊扎格柔斯。
原文英譯:Mistress Earth [Gaia], and Zagreus highest of all the gods.

也許此處是指祂乃冥界最高神。[11]

顯然地,對於埃斯庫羅斯而言扎格柔斯實質上就是冥界神靈。在埃斯庫羅斯失傳劇作《西西弗斯》(Sisyphus,約西元前五世紀)當中的一段詩句談到,扎格柔斯似乎是黑帝斯之子,[12]但在埃斯庫羅另一作品《埃及人》(Aigyptioi)裏,扎格柔斯看來又被認為與黑帝斯是同一尊神祇。[13]歐里庇得斯遺佚劇作《克里特人》(Cretan Men or Kretes)片段中,歌隊將他們自己描述為伊達山英語Mount Ida (Crete)宙斯(希臘神話中,伊達山有一處宙斯出生的穴窟──伊達洞府〔Idaean Cave〕,此山被視作祂母親泰坦既時光女神──雷亞聖地)啟蒙者以及「夜遊扎格柔斯,執行祂生肉盛宴night-ranging Zagreus, performing his feasts of raw flesh)」儀式的司祭。[14][9]

奧菲斯教的狄俄倪索斯·扎格柔斯

在歐里庇得斯斷章殘篇中所述的扎格柔斯讓人聯想到宙斯和塞墨勒(Semele)之子──酒神狄俄倪索斯,[15]事實上,儘管「扎格柔斯」並沒有出現在奧菲斯教發源地(色雷斯)的任何一處,但此名號在其他地方已被認定就是奧菲斯教的狄俄倪索斯(同體異名),而且其神話傳說與其他普遍流傳的版本截然不同。[16]此尊狄俄倪索斯乃宙斯與珀耳塞福涅之子,在嬰兒時期,祂慘遭泰坦迫害及肢解,而後又重生成為宙斯和塞墨勒之子。

2020年由超級巨人遊戲工作室發行的電子遊戲黑帝斯》遊戲內容,扎格柔斯被設定成本作主角。[17][18]遊戲中,作為黑帝斯之子的扎格柔斯(遊戲中文版翻譯為扎格列歐斯)試圖逃出冥界去尋找母親珀耳塞福涅,並了解其母離開的原因。[19]

Edmonds 1999, p. 37 n. 6 says: 'Lobeck 1892 seems to be responsible for the use of the name Zagreus for the Orphic Dionysos. As Linforth noticed, "It is a curious thing that the name Zagreus does not appear in any Orphic poem or fragment, nor is it used by any author who refers to Orpheus" (Linforth 1941:311頁面存檔備份,存於互聯網檔案館)). In his reconstruction of the story, however, Lobeck made extensive use of the fifth-century CE epic of Nonnos, who does use the name Zagreus, and later scholars followed his cue. The association of Dionysos with Zagreus appears first explicitly in a fragment of Callimachus preserved in the Etymologicum Magnum (fr. 43.117 P), with a possible earlier precedent in the fragment from Euripides Cretans (fr. 472 Nauck). Earlier evidence, however, (e.g., Alkmaionis fr. 3 PEG; Aeschylus frr. 5, 228) suggests that Zagreus was often identified with other deities.'
