《恩培多克勒之死》是由知名导演達尼埃爾·于伊耶 讓-馬裏·斯特勞布 执导的一部劇情片，威廉姆·伯格 Georg Brintrup 霍華德 等倾情出演，该片讲述了：　　The su bject of Danièle Huillet and Jean -Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedo  kles (T he Death of  Empedocles, 1987)  is the Greek pr e-Socratic p hilosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 43 0 BC) , who lived in  the Greek colony of Agrigentum in S icily. Hi s theories   are m entioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all ma tter is made up of  four irreduc ible element s: wate  r, earth, air   and fi re. A myst ic and a poet, h  e is c onsidered to be the f ounder  of classica l rhetoric. He is also tho ught to be  the last Greek philosophe r to wri te in ver se; two fragments of his works sur  vive: Katharmoi (Pu rifications) and Peri  Phuseôs (On Nature).  An advocat e of democracy, he came i nto conflict with his  fellow  citizens of Agrigen  tum and, as r esult, wa s ba nished with  his young  disciple, Pausa nius. Wh en he was asked to  return, he preferred to commit s uicide by  throwing himself into the act ive volcano at Mount Ae tna.　 　The German writer Friedrich  Hölderli n wrote tw o versions of Der Tod des Emp edokl es in 1798 a  nd 1800 , and a final third version  in  1820, al l three ul timat ely unfinished. They were conceived as five -act tragedies and all t hree diff er in plot. According t o Mi chael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s E nglish-langua ge transl ator,　　the ma in reason  why Höl derlin finished no ver sion  of the play must be that he rema ined too closely iden tified with Empedocles , at th e very period in his life when   his own view  of  the poet as  philosopher, p rophet and priest  – an d as tragic hero – was subject to   perpetual crisis and r e-ex amination.　　Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based o n Höl  derlin’s fi rst version (the longe  st of the three), whereas Black Sin is based  on the third v ersion.　　安画轻叹了一口气，“她在我的面前，从来没有放开过，哪怕喝水，也小心翼翼 地只沾个唇。她和夏正明 确关系以来，表面上，纯阳宗是得了丹堂的一 些照应，但是，以她和夏正的关 系，如果有心，元一百灵丹与骷髅蝗的真正关系，我觉 得，完全可以弄来。”
