Memnon, the mythic king of Ethiopia killed by Achilles during the Trojan War, had a double or fused identity in classical antiquity: both Asian and African for Greek and Roman writers because of his parentage and because of the geographical indeterminacy of ‘Aithiopia’ and of ‘India’, but definitely black-skinned for Roman writers. How was this figure received in medieval texts and images? This paper tracks Memnon through three textual genres from the twelfth to the fifteenth century – commentaries on Ovid, catalogues of famous men, histories of the Trojan War – and charts the ways in which his classical identity was overlaid and transformed by pro-Trojan sentiment, chivalric heroization and Christian sacrificial thinking.

门农（Memnon）是特洛伊战争期间被阿喀琉斯杀死的神话中的埃塞俄比亚国王，在古典时期具有双重或融合的身份：对于希腊和罗马作家来说，他既是亚洲人又是非洲人，因为他的出身以及“埃塞俄比亚”和“埃塞俄比亚”的地理不确定性。 “印度”，但对于罗马作家来说绝对是黑皮肤。这个人物在中世纪的文本和图像中是如何被接受的？本文追踪了门农从十二世纪到十五世纪的三种文本流派——对奥维德的评论、名人目录、特洛伊战争的历史——并绘制了他的古典身份被亲特洛伊情绪覆盖和改变的方式。骑士英雄化和基督教牺牲思想。
