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

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)裡,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

狄俄倪索斯馬賽克鑲嵌畫,出自澤烏瑪馬賽克博物館英語Zeugma Mosaic Museum(Zeugma Mosaic Museum)波塞冬館(the House of Poseidon)

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。

大眾文化

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]

  16. ^ According to Gantz, p. 118, 'Orphic sources preserved seem not to use the name "Zagreus", and according to West 1983, p. 153, the 'name was probably not used in the Orphic narrative'. 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,存於網際網路檔案館)). 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.'

Hades focuses on Zagreus, who plays such a minor role in myth that, as the titular god of the underworld’s son, he makes a great canvas to fill in for the player character.
