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.

评分细节帝/ 乾嘉考据帝爽到了
评分lepidus novus libellus。这是一本阅读体验非常奇妙的小书（毕竟正文只有140页左右）。如果说传统的Frazer似的的神话解读方式（还有印欧神话、近东神话）是寻找相似的故事模式，放在一起进行比较，最后得出个丰产的结论的话，那么Detienne的解读虽然也注重故事模式，但是他的每一个相关的故事都是通过一个个spices联系在一起的，从spices的botanical level（zoological level），上升到sociological level乃至astronomical level，Detienne成功揭示了一个神话意义不同层面的stratum of layers，以揭示希腊神话自身的主体性。韦尔南的导论很有帮助，能够一瞬间理解整本书的结构，批评也很有启发。
