摘　　要：在西方古典时代,以斯基泰人为代表的游牧民形象是在古希腊社会的口述传统中产生并定型。因此我们从种种文献资料中拼合的斯基泰人形象其实是一个古希腊民族的整体印象。从本质上来说,斯基泰人的形象和其他蛮族并无根本区别。但因斯基泰人是游牧民,其在主流古希腊人心目中残忍野蛮的形象则有着鲜明的游牧特色。之后,这种形象随着罗马对外征服,又汇流到了拉丁文学的传统中去,并在欧洲文学中一直被因袭到近代。In the Western classical era, the nomadic image as typically represented by the Scythians was generated and shaped in the oral traditions of the ancient Greek society. Therefore, the Scythian Image which we put together from a variety of literature is actually an overall impression formed by the ancient Greeks as a nation. In essence, there is no fundamental difference between the image of the Scythians and other barbarians. Yet, because Scythians are nomads, their brutal and barbarian image in the minds of the ancient Greeks have distinct nomadic characteristics. Subsequently, with the Roman conquest, this image converged into the tradition of Latin Literature and existed in the European Literature till modern times.
