초록
This paper tries to defend Milton's choice of the word Satyrs against Samuel Johnson's harsh criticism on Lycidas. Satyrs in the classical myths and the history of tragedy are the right word for the memory of the dead friend: Satyrs are pertinent in the elegy because they were associated with death; the Satyr chorus used to sing about the tragedy of the hero in the Dionysus festival; Satyrs in the ancient initiation rites played a kind of mediator role between two different worlds of man and nature, earthly and spiritual, or transient and divine, which makes Satyrs closely relevant to the speaker's world of memory. Satyrs, as Chiron, Silenus and Pan show in the myths, can be said as the embodiment of intensest emotions and wisdom of man to be a mediator. Satyrs also were introduced as headsmen, a frequent pastoral representation of the Renaissance poet, to be a peer-poet or a comforter of Lycidas and the speaker of the poem. Consequently viewing the Satyrs as types of the saved in the later part of Lycidas makes the swain-narrator/Milton be among the saints, God's most devout worshippers: the structure of the poem is well formed showing Satyrs are a perfect product of Milton's poetic imagination.
Abstract
This paper tries to defend Milton's choice of the word Satyrs against Samuel Johnson's harsh criticism on Lycidas. Satyrs in the classical myths and the history of tragedy are the right word for the memory of the dead friend: Satyrs are pertinent in the elegy because they were associated with death; the Satyr chorus used to sing about the tragedy of the hero in the Dionysus festival; Satyrs in the ancient initiation rites played a kind of mediator role between two different worlds of man and nature, earthly and spiritual, or transient and divine, which makes Satyrs closely relevant to the speaker's world of memory. Satyrs, as Chiron, Silenus and Pan show in the myths, can be said as the embodiment of intensest emotions and wisdom of man to be a mediator. Satyrs also were introduced as headsmen, a frequent pastoral representation of the Renaissance poet, to be a peer-poet or a comforter of Lycidas and the speaker of the poem. Consequently viewing the Satyrs as types of the saved in the later part of Lycidas makes the swain-narrator/Milton be among the saints, God's most devout worshippers: the structure of the poem is well formed showing Satyrs are a perfect product of Milton's poetic imagination.
